Meru Networks AP110 access point

The AP110 access point from Meru Networks is a wireless and wired access solution for branch offices, telecommuters and mobile or travelling individuals. Meru claims the AP110 enables simple, secure, virtualised Wi-Fi access to corporate networks, applications and resources and doesn’t require VPN infrastructure.

The access point is a two-stream 802.11n wireless access point designed for data, voice and video applications in off-site virtual office environments. It provides secure wireless access to the corporate network with easy plug-and-play, zero touch deployment capabilities.

Suitable for providing in-room access to corporate network resource in hotel rooms, private offices or remote locations, the Ap110 can make it possible for workers to be productive remotely. A wired port provides secure connectivity for a VoiP phone or other wired device.

The AP110 access point integrates with Meru controllers, the Meru System Director wireless operating system and Meru management tools to enable enterprise-class wireless service, claims Meru. Built-in TLS-VPN encryption allows the AP110 to securely ‘tunnel back’ to the  System Director operating system in the corporate data centre. System Director recognises the AP110 and controls it just as it controls other access points on the internal wireless network.

The AP110 can support multiple high-bandwidth applications simultaneously, which may maximise productivity for remote users. The AP110 can support up to 10 devices simultaneously and is designed for minimal IT support.
