Stretch your Wireless LAN across the enterprise and beyond
Wireless networks have revolutionised the way we do business within the enterprise. Convenient and cost effective, they allow users access to network resources from almost any location. But what about those difficult, hard to reach places like the company car park, industrial work yards, between buildings or within manufacturing facilities?
Until now, providing access to enterprise resources meant extending the wired network, with all the additional cost and complexity of running cables to numerous locations. A practically impossible task in factory scenarios and heritage sites. But now there's a way to stretch your Wireless network to areas that have previously been neglected or deemed unsuitable for cabling - with the HiPath Wireless Outdoor Access Point (OAP) from Siemens.
Seamless coverage, inside and out
HiPath Wireless boasts the industry's most complete end-to-end WLAN portfolio. Based on open industry standards, it gives you enterprise grade, wireless connectivity across the whole of your enterprise and beyond. The new OAP allows you to extend that network for campus-wide access to your enterprise network, even in the harshest industrial or outdoor environments.
What makes this possible?
Thanks to the integration of our HiPath Wireless convergence software, our OAP offers a high performance and robust solution for your enterprise:
- Cable-free Ethernet connection to the rest of your network
- Fast-roaming between access points minimises latency
- Quality of Service (QoS) for real time voice and multi-media
- Enhanced security with 802.1x
- Rogue AP detection
- Dual band flexibility supports up to 16 SSIDs for every unit
- Purpose-built for industrial/outdoor environment

Is it right for you?
HiPath Wireless OAPs are the ideal solution for inter-connectivity between campus buildings that are difficult to cable. They also allow you to set up a temporary network in a frequently changing environment such as a construction site, or create a network without disrupting your building's infrastructure or your production line. |
What's the bottom line?
The OAP is a cost-effective way to improve your enterprise network at the same time as increasing productivity. No more dropped calls as your staff enter the underground car park, no need for your foreman to leave the depot to place an order. Just pervasive coverage from building to building, to speed up working practices.
HiPath Wireless OAPs also deliver a great return on investment by reducing capital costs as well as operational and installation costs. What's more, they're a highly flexible and scaleable solution that will protect the value of your investment for years to come.
