The ORiNOCO AP-2000 is a powerful, feature-rich two channel IEEE 802.11b Wi-Fi™ compliant 11Mbps wireless Access Point that operates on the license-free 2.4 GHz band. The AP-2000 extends the range of a wired Ethernet network, providing easy network access to both mobile users and locations that are difficult to wire. With outdoor antennas and amplifiers, long-range line-of-site links are possible. Great for use at a WIPOP (Wireless Internet Point of Presence) to offer high-speed wireless Internet services. The AP-2000 can support two independent WLAN cards. For indoor wireless LAN applications, it can easily migrate from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz OFDM radio technology and simultaneously host both 802.11a and 802.11b radio cards, such as the Terabeam Wireless Diamond or Emerald WLAN cards (purchased seperately). The new Wireless Distribution System enables the AP-2000 to act as a repeater or bridge, as well as an Access Point. Ideal for large area Wireless LAN deployment and ease of scalability.

• Uses IEEE 802.1x for enhanced security of the Wi-Fi system with certificate authentication and automatic WEP key distribution. EAP-TLS based authentication via RADIUS server.
• Configuration and monitoring can be accomplished through any standard Web browser.
• Additional network management features include full SNMP management, embedded Serial Port and Telnet/CLI support, TFTP kernel upload, and extended MIBs and traps.
• Client and server DHCP support.
• Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows it to act as a repeater or bridge.
• Support for SpectraLink VoIP wireless handsets in indoor LANs.
• Load balancing for improved network performance.

Proactive Security Measures to Protect Your Network
ORiNOCO access points support the latest security standards, such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), while adding proactive security measures.

• Certified WPA for IEEE 802.1X mutual authentication
• Dynamic per-user, per-session rotating keys
• Rogue access point detection, notification
• Secure management interfaces: SNMPv3 and SSL
• Fully software upgradeable to AES and 802.11i
• Intra-cell blocking to prevent client-to-client snooping

Easy to Deploy and Manage
Ease of deployment and integration with the wired network are critical factors in a successful, profitable wireless LAN rollout. ORiNOCO access points excel with key capabilities that simplify WLAN deployment.

• Tools to speed installation and optimization: automatic channel selection, adjustable transmit power, external antenna connectors
• Wireless repeating functionality in areas without Ethernet wiring
• Remote management via SNMP, HTTP and Telnet
• Extensive RADIUS accounting support
• Powerful group configuration, software updates and automatic alerts via Wavelink Mobile Manager
