Juniper Networks MP-82 Mobility Point

Fast Facts

The MP-82 is an enterprise-class 802.11n indoor access point designed for high-density deploy­ments that emphasize throughput capacity over coverage. The MP-82 contains dual radios; one operating in the 2.4 GHz band and one in the 5 GHz band, with each radio supporting 2x3 operation (two transmit chains and three receive chains).

To protect the customer’s investment in legacy
802.11 clients, and to ease the transition to 802.11n, the MP-82 is backwards compatible with legacy 802.11a/b/g clients in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. With 6 built-in internal antennas, the MP-82 provides omni-directional coverage without unsightly and insecure “rabbit ear” antennas.

Connectivity and Power Options

The MP-82 features one 10/100/1000 Ethernet port operating in auto-negotiation mode in order to seamlessly adapt to the Ethernet infra­structure. To protect your investment in existing PoE infrastructure, the MP-82 is designed to allow full operation with existing standards-based 802.3af PoE infrastructure. The MP-82 is also compatible with the newer high-power 802.3at PoE, but this is not required for full operation.

Compliance and Security

The MP-82 is compliant with the IEEE 802.11n Draft 2.0 standard, software upgradeable to the final standard, and tested extensively for interoperability with 802.11n clients and legacy
802.11 a/b/g clients. The MP-82 supports all relevant encryption methods including WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 based on 802.11i), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), in both Enterprise (802.1X) and Personal (pre-shared key) modes. The MP-82 does not store data, encryption keys or security credentials locally and poses no security risk to the organization if stolen.

Compatibility

The MP-82 is compatible with all generations of Trapeze Networks Mobility Exchange WLAN controllers, and can be deployed without any hardware upgrades to the installed base of controllers.

Reliability

As part of the Smart Mobile system, the MP-82 features NonStop reliability. If a WLAN con­troller fails, the AP will seamlessly failover to another controller and maintain the wireless networking session.

Installation

The MP-82 ships with a flexible mounting kit that supports ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, and desktop-mounted deployment. Its aestheti­cally-appealing enclosure is designed specifically to blend into typical office environments, mini­mizing attention to it’s function. Furthermore, the MP-82 features a built-in Kensington lock system for added physical security.

Special Smart Mobile Features

Smart Mobile distributed traffic forwarding can be enabled in the MP-82, resulting in optimized traffic flow, reduced latency, and enhanced scalability. In addition to traditional access point functionality, the MP-82 also serves as a Mesh AP, or Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Bridge to extend the reach of enterprise WLANs where cabling can-not reach or is not desired.
