Access Points
Bluesocket’s family of next-generation Access Points are the perfect solution for
enterprises looking to deploy secure wireless networks. All BlueSecure Access Points
utilize dual-radio 802.11a/b/g standards-based technology which is certified by the Wi-Fi
Alliance to ensure inter-operability with your network. Whether you want to add wireless
to your office or light up an entire campus, indoors or outdoors, Bluesocket has an
Access Point to meet your needs.

Access Points are the next-generation, “thin” access point (AP) that works in
conjunction with BlueSecure Controllers for enterprise wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments.
The BlueSecure Access Point features dual radios supporting 802.11 a/b/g in a plenum-rated
housing with fixed omni-directional antennas (Model AP-1500) and optional external antennas
(Model AP-1540).
BlueSecure Access Points extend and complement the industry-leading, enterprise-class WLAN
security and management capabilities provided by BlueSecure Controllers. While providing
industry-standard radio and security functions, role-based policy management and universal
authentication functions are offloaded to centralized BlueSecure Controllers, making
BlueSecure APs cost-effective and simple to deploy and manage.
A Wi-Fi Certified, Centrally Managed WLAN Solution
BlueSecure Access Points have achieved Wi-Fi certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance, guarantee-
ing interoperability with all client devices, and work in conjunction with all BlueSecure
Controller models to provide a high performance, centrally managed wireless LAN solution for
enterprises. BlueSecure Access Points automatically configure across any L2/L3 network using
the Bluesocket
®
Discovery Protocol. This allows easy upgrades when new features, capabilities or
standards emerge, and ensures longer life span without any physical intervention.
High Performance Wireless – Enterprise MIMO
Bluesocket’s new BlueSecure Access Point 1700 (BSAP-1700) is the first enterprise-class
802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi certified AP to use MIMO technology. This approach achieves more than
30 percent better range and overall performance, using your existing standard 802.11a/b/g
clients, than APs using legacy 802.11 technologies. The BSAP-1700 integrates a sophisticated
internal six antenna array— instead of the usual one or two antennas found in most APs—that
combines multiple signal paths to create one “super signal,” providing significantly better in-
building wireless coverage.
Additionally, the BSAP-1700’s innovative modular design allows end users to easily upgrade
radio cards in the field to support 802.11n when the standard is formally ratified. This gives
enterprises the ability to deploy higher performance MIMO wireless technology today without
compromising inter-operability, requiring extensive network changes, or requiring “forklift”
replacement of deployed APs.
