Dell PowerConnect W-IAP92 & 
W-IAP93 Instant Access Points
Dell
 PowerConnect
 W-IAP92 and W-IAP93 are feature rich 802.11n based single radio, dual band 
access points (AP) with built in virtualized controller functionality that delivers the affordability and 
simplicity of an entry-level enterprise-grade Wi-Fi network. 
Managed, 802.11n indoor 
wireless AP with built in 
virtual controller that  
delivers the affordability 
and simplicity of an  
entry-level enterprise 
grade Wi-Fi network. 
The W-IAP92 has a single radio that works in either 
2.4 or 5GHz band (single radio, dual band) with 
external antennas while the W-IAP93 offers the  
same features as IAP-92 but has built in internal 
Omni-directional antennas.
Virtual controller technology 
 
The virtual controller technology in PowerConnect 
W-IAP92 and W-IAP93 delivers enterprise-grade 
controller capabilities without needing a separate 
access point controller. The virtual controller in a 
single IAP is capable of controlling up to fifteen 
other IAPs, supporting total of 256 users that are 
either local or dispersed across multiple locations. 
Like dedicated controller it is able to perform all key 
task from AP auto discovery, 802.1X authentication, 
role- and device-based policy enforcement, rogue 
detection as well as specialized Adaptive Radio 
Management (ARM) task that optimizes Wi-Fi client 
behavior by making sure that IAPs stay clear of RF 
interference. When multiple  
IAPs are connected together, a single IAP acts as a 
primary virtual controller.  In the event of primary 
virtual controller failure, another W-series IAP in 
a chain automatically takes on the role with no 
disruption to services. 
Ease of deployment 
PowerConnect W-IAP is up and running in minutes. 
From a laptop, simply connect wirelessly to an SSID 
to perform over-the-air provisioning in three easy 
steps. To expand, just install more PowerConnect  
W IAP – configurations are automatically uploaded 
from the designated Virtual Controller. 
Management and visibility 
Multiple PowerConnect W-IAP networks can 
be securely and centrally managed by Dell 
PowerConnect W-Series AirWave software 
management suite, allowing W-IAPs to operate 
hundreds of remote locations. With Dell 
PowerConnect W-Series AirWave, IT has real-
time visibility into users, mobile devices, Wired 
and Wireless LANs infrastructure all from a single 
management console.
Investment protection 
 
As WLAN requirements expand, PowerConnect 
W-IAP can be re-imaged as an 802.11n campus AP 
and migrate to a centralized Mobility Controller 
architecture capable of supporting hundreds and 
thousands of APs. Firmware to covert IAP to campus 
AP is expected to be available by early 2012. In 
addition to providing WLAN access, campus APs in 
a centralized, controller architecture can provide 
wireless intrusion protection and powerful spectrum 
analysis capabilities.
