Features & Benefits
Delivers Secure,
Voice-Ready
Connectivity for
WLAN Users
The 3Com® wireless
LAN Managed Access
Point (MAP) 3850
delivers secure,
voice-ready reliable
connectivity for
WLAN users.
An integral
component of the
3Com Wireless LAN
Mobility System, the
3Com MAP 3850 with
intelligent
switching offers
both centralized and
distributed data
forwarding, with the
MAP automatically
determining the best
alternative based on
the requirements of
the underlying
application. This
allows it to support
the most demanding
wireless
applications indoors
and outdoors,
including Voice over
Wi-Fi.
Fully controlled by
a WLAN switch or
controller with
which it securely
communicates, the
MAP contains no
local data store for
sensitive data,
eliminating the
chance of
information being
compromised due to
hacking or theft.
The end result helps
reduce capital
expenses and ongoing
administrative
costs— all while
keeping the wireless
LAN secure.
Provides
Voice-Ready Wireless
Connections
Distributed
forwarding in the
3Com Managed Access
Point 3850 optimizes
traffic flow,
reducing latency,
while providing
ultra high
performance and
massive scalability.
Wi-Fi Multimedia
(WMM) or SpectraLink
Voice Priority (SVP)
helps ensure optimal
QoS for voice
traffic.
Simplifies
Configuration,
Control and
Optimization
With remote
management, the
arduous process of
initially
configuring and
deploying access
points (APs) is
vastly simplified
because
configuration
settings are
centrally
distributed for
consistency and
accuracy. And for
easier long-term
management, any
added MAPs inherit
configuration
settings from their
wireless switch or
controller.
Automated network
controls at the
wireless switch
improve coverage and
service by
optimizing RF gain,
assigning radio
channels, balancing
traffic loads and
monitoring the RF
environment of all
managed access
points with which it
is associated.
Delivers Security
and Seamless
Mobility
Local traffic
encryption
distributes the
encryption
processing across
the network rather
than relying on one
central device.
Continuous,
on-demand, or
scheduled RF scans
can be used to
locate users and
identify and isolate
potentially harmful
rogue APs or other
vulnerabilities.
3Com wireless
switches and
controllers
integrate with
backend
Authorization/Authentication/Accounting
(AAA) servers,
consistently
enforcing user and
group access
policies across the
wireless LAN to
provide secure
session integrity as
users roam
throughout the
network. No
re-association or IT
intervention is
required.
Provides Scale
able Deployment of
Remote Office
Wireless Networks
Distributed
Forwarding on the
MAP 3850 allows
scalable wireless
deployments in
remote locations.
Only authentication
and control traffic
is sent back to the
wireless controller,
while most user
traffic can stay
local to that site,
thereby improving
performance and
increasing
scalability of
distributed wireless
deployments.
Extends the Reach
of the Wireless
Network
In addition to
traditional access
point functionality,
the MAP 3850 can
also serve as an
IEEE 802.11s mesh
AP, mesh point, mesh
portal, or WDS
bridge to other MAP
3850s, extending the
reach of enterprise
WLANs. The MAP can
support such
functionality in
either
point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint
topologies, allowing
maximum flexibility
within a mesh or
bridged environment.
- Distributed
forwarding
optimizes
traffic flow,
reducing
latency, while
providing ultra
high performance
and massive
scalability
- Dual-radio
MAP operates
simultaneously
in 802.11a and
802.11b/g mode
- Dual-mode
802.11a and
802.11b/g
integrated
omnidirectional
diversity
antennas provide
excellent
performance and
coverage in high
multi-path
environments
- For
optimized
security, the
multi-band RF
sweeps scan the
wireless
environment for
both 802.11a and
802.11b/g rogue
access points
simultaneously;
RF scans also
detect ad-hoc
users and
sources of RF
interference
- PoE support
either directly
through a 3Com
WLAN switch or
controller or
other
802.11af-compliant
device supplies
data and power
over the same
Ethernet cable,
eliminating the
need for power
adapters, power
cords, or AC
outlets
- Fully
redundant PoE
power and
connectivity on
both Ethernet
ports enhance
network
resiliency
- Advanced
Encryption
Standard (AES),
Wi-Fi Protected
Access 2 (WPA2),
dynamic Temporal
Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP),
and Wi-Fi
Equivalent
Privacy(WEP)
packet
encryption help
ensure strong
data security
- Support for
independently
encrypted and
isolated subnets
or VLANs using
the same service
set identifier
(SSID) provides
deployment
flexibility
- Supports
location-based
service
applications
that rely on
Wi-Fi signal
information for
position
location; common
usages include
asset tracking
or client
location
- New or
replacement MAPs
inherit
configuration
information from
the WLAN switch
without the need
for pre-staging
or
pre-configuration
- Automated
transmit power
and radio
channel
assignment
features
optimize RF cell
size and support
different
regional
requirements
-
Comprehensive
MAP control and
management—such
as channel
number, power
level, SSIDs,
and security
settings—are all
handled by the
WLAN switch
- MAP 3850 can
also serve as an
IEEE 802.11s
mesh AP, mesh
point, mesh
portal, or WDS
bridge
- Kensington
