The Trapeze Networks indoor MP-371 is a single radio 802.11a/b/g access point featuring dual diversity antennas on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The MP features two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports for redundant connectivity and 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), a plenumrated (UL-2043) package which intentionally resembles a smoke detector to minimize visibility. With no obvious hallmarks of an AP, the MP-371 is less likely to be tampered with, but also features a built-in Kensington lock system for added physical security.
The MP-371 is simple to deploy, easy to manage, and supports any kind of service-data, voice and video-over wireless. It automatically calculates the data integrity and RF signal strength of the wireless channel and continually tunes for optimal RF channel and transmit power, while enforcing the prioritization of delay-sensitive voice and other critical applications.
