AP-5181 Access Point 

Motorola’s AP-5181 Access Point, specifically 
designed for outdoor use, delivers enterprise-class 
wireless networking in harsh environments. In 
addition to a NEMA 4X-modified housing, severe-
weather features include integrated lightning 
arrestors, surge protectors, extreme temperature 
range operation and an array of antenna and power 
accessories. The self-assembling, self-healing 
mesh capability supports Wi-Fi multimedia (WMM) 
extensions to ensure quality of service (QoS) while 
cost-effectively extending corporate networks beyond 
and between buildings — with no need to install 
additional Ethernet cable or fiber. With integrated 
router, firewall, DHCP, AAA and hotspot services, the 
AP-5181 offers a superior outdoor WLAN solution. 

When used as either an access port or a mesh 
node, the AP-5181 can operate wirelessly, even in 
harsh conditions. Outdoor applications don’t mean 
sacrificing security or manageability — support for 
today’s standards- based security protocols helps 
ensure enterprise-level network protection, while 
a wide variety of administration options provides 
simple, yet powerful management tools. Because 
the AP-5181 operates wirelessly, all of this can be 
implemented outdoors without the added cost of 
installing network cable or fiber. 

The AP-5181 offers the certifications required for 
safe operation in the hazardous environments 
commonly found in the petrochemical, oil and 
gas, aerospace and utilities industries. The AP-5181 
provides the real-time wireless voice and data 
connection required to help workers involved 
in inspecting and servicing mission critical 
infrastructure improve productivity and reduce 
errors. A real time connection to plant machinery 
— such as sensors and metering devices that 
report temperature, humidity, pressure readouts 
and more — helps improve process control, 
optimizing operations and reducing costs. The ability 
to enable video in these challenges environments 
helps improve the safety of personnel and critical 
infrastructure. And the dual radio and mesh 
capabilities enable the creation of a point-to-point 
bridge as well as complex multi-node, multi-link 
networks — ideal for extending wireless voice and 
data services to remote power plants and more. 

Using its mesh capability, the dual-radio AP-5181 
can connect to other access points for data backhaul 
while providing network access to local users. 
Enabling an array of applications, from simple point-
to-point bridges connecting two wired networks 
to complex multi-node, multi-link networks, this 
feature offers a simple way to extend the network
