MP-371 Indoor Mobility Point®

The Trapeze Mobility Point™ (MP™) family of multi-function indoor access points provides access point wireless services for Trapeze Smart Mobile™ wireless networks.

Configured and controlled by Trapeze Mobility Exchange™ (MX) controllers, all Trapeze Mobility Points perform local encryption to offload the WLAN controller, leaving the controller free to enforce stringent security policies and enable fast, seamless identity-based roaming.

The Trapeze Networks indoor MP-371 is a single radio 802.11a/b/g access point featuring dual diversity antennas on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The MP features two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports for redundant connectivity and 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), a plenum-rated (UL-2043) package which intentionally resembles a smoke detector to minimize visibility. With no obvious hallmarks of an AP, the MP-371 is less likely to be tampered with, but also features a built-in Kensington lock system for added physical security.

The MP-371 is simple to deploy, easy to manage, and supports any kind of service—data, voice and video—over wireless. It automatically calculates the data integrity and RF signal strength of the wireless channel and continually tunes for optimal RF channel and transmit power, while enforcing the prioritization of delay-sensitive voice and other critical applications. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) or SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) can be configured to ensure optimal quality of service (QoS) for voice traffic. Policies allow per user, protocol or class-of-service (CoS) mapping.

The MP-371 plays a key role in rogue and intrusion detection as well as denial-of-service (DoS) attack detection. ActiveScan™ allows MPs to fulfill a dual role. It scans the active 802.11 band, channels and VLANs while simultaneously providing wireless connectivity to mobile clients. SentryScan™ allows MPs to act as dedicated sentries, providing nonstop scanning.
