Dell PowerConnect Instant Access Point (IAPs) eliminate the need for an external controller and make it easier to set up and manage enterprise-grade Deploy an enterprise- wireless LAN (WLAN) while delivering the affordability and simplicity of an entry-level Wi-Fi network. class wireless network Ease of deployment without the high cost PowerConnect W-IAP is designed to be up and running in minutes. From a laptop, simply connect and complexity of one. wirelessly to perform over-the-air provisioning in a few easy steps. To expand the network, simply add more PowerConnect W-IAPs—configuration is automatically applied to the new IAPs.

Enterprise features PowerConnect W-Series The Virtual Controller technology integrated within IAP vs. Controller based AP: Key High Level Differences a PowerConnect W-IAP delivers enterprise-grade Dell PowerConnect capabilities such as AP auto discovery, 802.1x Instant Based Controller Based Features authentication, role-and device-based policy Architecture Architecture enforcement, rogue detection and Adaptive Radio W-Series Instant Management (ARM) to optimize Wi-Fi client behavior. Mobility supported Mobility and Mobility across across Layer-2 Management and visibility Roaming Layer-2 network and Layer-3 Access Point PowerConnect W-IAP includes a built-in web interface network to manage IAP based WLAN network.
