WiFi Access Point Module

You can order the CSG700 series appliance with the WiFi access point (AP) module. If you do

so, the WiFi AP module comes preinstalled in Wireless slot 2.

The WiFi AP module is a dual-band module that simultaneously supports 2.4 GHz, for longer

distances, and 5 GHz, for faster throughput. It provides the following WiFi capabilities:

• WiFi radios preconfigured for 2.4GHz and 5.0-GHz operation

• Supports 802.11ac Wave 2 standard and 2x2:2 Multi User Multiple Input Multiple

Output (MU-MIMO) for more efficient transmission to multiple clients

• Built-in support for WiFi mesh capabilities

• Supports IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac protocols

• Supports channel bandwidth of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, and 80 MHz

• Supports channel bonding with channel bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40

MHz

• Background scanning automatically selects the best and cleanest channel

• Supports up to 512 concurrent clients across both frequencies, while each radio supports

up to 256 clients

• Supports up to 8 SSIDs simultaneously

• Supports client steering capabilities across respective frequency bands based on load and

number of clients in each frequency thereby allowing end devices to have optimum

experience

• Certified for FCC and CE

The WiFi AP module has a hardware-based cryptographic engine that includes secure boot. WiFi

security is provided by 802.11i, AES-CCMP, AES-GCMP, PRNG, TKIP, WAPI, WEP, WPA,

WPA2, and WPS based encryption methods.

You can seamlessly integrate the WiFi AP module with Versa FlexVNF features, including over-

the-air traffic analysis and other analytics. FlexVNF provides queuing mechanisms, including

weighted round-robin (WRR). In addition, the WiFi AP module has a built-in QoS feature that

prioritizes and manages over-the-air traffic. It also has built-in spectrum analyzer capabilities to

detect rogue frequencies in an environment, if desired.
