Trapeze Smart Mobile Gives Customers Immediate 802.11n Benefits Without Expensive Infrastructure Upgrades Required by Competitive Offerings

Trapeze Networks(TM), the award-winning provider of Smart Mobile(TM) wireless solutions, announced the Mobility Point(TM) 432 (MP-432), a new class of wireless access points based on the high-throughput IEEE 802.11n standard. The MP-432 will deliver the highest possible performance in the wireless local area network (WLAN) industry, providing data rates six to seven times greater than current-generation access points. The MP-432 extends the superior performance and cost benefits of Trapeze's Smart Mobile architecture compared to WLAN offerings from Cisco Systems and Aruba Networks, reinforcing Smart Mobile as the industry's only 802.11n-ready enterprise Wi-Fi solution.

"Enterprise customers are eager to deploy 802.11n wireless networks that can deliver higher throughput to support massive volumes of data, voice, and video traffic, but many are concerned that their existing WLAN switching infrastructure cannot handle the increased load," said Jim Vogt, President and CEO, Trapeze Networks. "The MP-432 sets the standard for 802.11n capabilities and leverages the intelligent Smart Mobile architecture, providing the only enterprise-class 802.11n solution that runs on existing switching infrastructure without requiring expensive forklift upgrades."

Highest Performance 802.11n Access Point

The dual-radio MP-432 utilizes state-of-the-art 802.11n features, such as true 3x3 multiple input/multiple output (MIMO), frame aggregation, and 40 Mhz channels. It is able to simultaneously operate in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, at 300 Mbps per band, for a total data rate of 600Mbps. The MP-432 employs sophisticated optimization techniques to reduce overhead and improve performance dramatically. As a result, the MP-432 will deliver the highest possible performance of any 802.11n access point in the industry.
