About the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP350
The ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350is the basic building block of a
wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides connectivity between Ethernet wired networks and radio-
equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices.
The WNDAP350 provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a
fixed range or area of coverage, interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) via an
antenna. Typically, an individual in-building access point provides a maximum connectivity area
of about a 500 foot radius. Consequently, the ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point
WNDAP350 can support a small group of users in a range of several hundred feet. Most access
points can handle between 10 to 32 users simultaneously per radio.
The WNDAP350 wirelss access point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless
clients. Connecting multiple WNDAP350s via a wired Ethernet backbone can further lengthen the
wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of the range of one access
point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one
Access Point to another and still maintain seamless connection to the network.
Key Features and Standards
The WNDAP350 wirelss access point is easy-to-use and provides solid wireless and networking
support. It also offers a wide range of security options.
