Colubris MAP-625 High-performance Enterprise-class 802.11n Access Point. US P/N: 70-06-2500, HP Procurve MSM422 NA Access Point, J9358A

Colubris introduces the industry's first intelligent 802.11n access point, the MAP-625! The Multiservice Access Point model 625 (MAP-625) is the first product in Colubris's new MAP 600 family of high-performance, enterprise-class access points. Its dual-radio design features Always-n technology which unlocks the additional bandwidth of 802.11n, while simultaneously supporting legacy 802.11a/b/g devices.

802.11n migration considerations

The new 802.11n standard was designed for backward compatibility with legacy 802.11 a, b and g client devices. Unfortunately even a single legacy device can significantly reduce the speed of the 802.11n network, sacrificing the investment made in the new technology. While most organizations will not upgrade their entire WLAN at one time, you still need to protect your investments — for the new ultra-speed 802.11n and for legacy a/b/g devices. Colubris can help.  The dual radio included in the MAP-625 offers both 802.11n speed with an additional 802.11b/g radio for backward compatibility for WiFi clients.

Designed for 802.11n speed (Up to 100Mbps typical, N client card required)

Colubris' dual-radio MAP-625 features Always-n technology which allows simultaneous support of both 802.11n and 802.11 a/b/g. This eliminates the performance penalties associated with 802.11n backward compatibility, protecting the investment you've made in new technology, while continuing to support your investment in legacy devices. This full-speed 802.11n WLAN will allow you to implement new applications and services, including voice, imaging, and videoconferencing, transforming your wireless network into an integral enterprise network component.

Deploying 802.11n is as simple as adding a MAP-625 to the network, without any hidden costs or forklift upgrades. The award-winning Colubris Intelligent Mobility Solution is 802.11n ready today, requiring no disruptive upgrades, architectural changes or additional peripheral equipment. Our optimized WLAN architecture — intelligence at the edge plus central control — supplies the essential performance and sustained wireless capacity required by 802.11n networks. With this architecture Colubris offers a smooth, incremental and cost-effective migration to 802.11n, with no disruption to your wired network.
