Product overview
The HP 425 802.11n Dual Radio Access Point Series, designed to work in sync with HP
controllers, delivers high-performance networking solutions. The enhanced controller
architecture scales to IEEE 802.11n—without requiring a controller replacement. The
controllers provide advanced radio resource management (RRM), including client load balancing
and interference mitigation. And the wireless controllers support a fast-roaming capability—an
important feature, especially for VoIP communications.
The 425 Access Points work in a managed mode with HP wireless LAN controllers. The access
points (APs) provide RF spectrum analysis with detection and classification of non-IEEE 802.11
interference; and they have the ability to automatically resist interference. Wireless security
is comprehensive with integrated wireless IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and support for
internal and external authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) servers; built-in
stateful firewalls; per-user VLAN mapping; and authentication.. In addition to working with HP
MSM controllers, the APs work with the new HP 10500/7500 20G Unified Wired-WLAN Module,
the HP 800 Series Unified Wired-WLAN Switch, and the HP WX5002/5004 wireless controllers.
A summary of the highlights of the 425 Access Points:
•
Dual radio—two spatial stream access supporting 300 Mb/s per radio
•
Support for embedded antennas as well as an optional external antenna
•
Powered via the IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE) or the local power supply
