3Com WL-605

details: 802.11n 2.4+5GHz PoE Access Point
hardware type: Wireless Access Point
date added: 2010-04-21
updated: 2015-01-28
The 3Com WL-605 dual-radio access point has both 2.4 and 5 GHz 802.11n radios allowing it to support simultaneous 2.4 GHz 11b/g/n and 5 GHz 11a/n wireless connections. Advanced MIMO technology provides enhanced wireless range and coverage area for improved roaming and ubiquity.

This access point is powered using a single, standard IEEE 802.3af PoE connection, eliminating the need for proprietary PoE injectors or bulky and inefficient external power supplies.

The WL-605 is offered in a fat and fit versions:

In the fat version, the AP is a stand-alone device and can be managed via the Web interface, the CLI/Telnet interface, IMC (3Com's intelligent Management Center) or any SNMP Management station. This fat access point can also be upgraded to work as a fit AP via a simple conversion command and software upgrade.

As a fit AP, the WL-605 can be managed via a 3Com WX 3000, WX 5000 or wireless controller modules for selected 3Com chassis to get all the features that high end enterprise customers are looking for.
