BROCADE
MOBILITY 650
ACCESS POINT
HIGHLIGHTS
Eliminates controller bottlenecks and
lays the foundation for 802.11ac with
Distributed AP Forwarding
Helps reduce operational costs by
providing remote management support
with built-in remote Radio Frequency (RF)
scanning
Delivers optimal performance with
standard Power over Ethernet (PoE)
capabilities, helping to ensure always-on
access
Helps ensure consistent and reliable
service delivery with self-healing
capabilities
Provides secure and preemptive client
roaming by leveraging device mobility and
24 dBm radio
Reduces network intrusion risk with a
dedicated security sensor and continuous
monitoring of wireless networks
Multipurpose 802.11n Access Point
Reduces Mobile Access Costs
For small and medium-size enterprises,
lowering the costs of mobility capabilities
must be balanced with the need for a
secure and high-quality user experience.
As a component of the Brocade
®
HyperEdge
Architecture, the Brocade
Mobility 650 Access Point (AP), a thin
(dependent) multipurpose AP, meets all
of these needs.
The intelligent Brocade Mobility 650 uses
Distributed AP Forwarding to understand
and forward local trafc. This efcient
wireless architecture eliminates the need for
all data trafc to route to the wired network
core before reaching its destination. This
architecture is also ideal for the increased
AP bandwidth and performance demands
expected from the 802.11ac standard.
Designed to lower the cost of deploying
and operating a secure, reliable 802.11n
Wireless LAN (WLAN), this highly efcient
AP offers simultaneous WLAN access and
sensing, remote over-the-air help-desk
support, and the comprehensive, wireless
intrusion-prevention features that nimble
organizations require.
Working in conjunction with the Brocade
Mobility 650, Brocade Mobility controllers
minimize common problems—such
as building attenuation, electronic
interference, or suboptimal AP placement—
that can interfere with network availability.
Brocade Mobility controllers automatically
optimize power and channel selection
with SmartRF capabilities, so each user
receives always-on, high-quality mobile
data and service access.
