WLAN (Wi-Fi) Access Points

Prolific use of multiple wirelessly connected devices by multiple users is today’s reality in most enterprise campus environments. Wi-Fi access points based on IEEE 802.11ac drive access point backhaul bandwidth above 1G, enabling higher-density wireless support and more efficient spectrum use for multiple connected devices. Other key benefits include stronger range and performance, as well as greater bandwidth and flexibility. Enterprises must find ways to effect massive and fairly immediate multi-gigabit bandwidth network upgrades over legacy cabling. Microsemi offers a broad IC and systems portfolio for design and deployment of wireless access points in both indoor and outdoor settings.
