PEPWAVE AP Series
1Introduction and Scope
Our AP Series of enterprise-grade 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi access points is engineered to provide fast,
dependable, and flexible operation in a variety of environments, all controlled by an easy-to-use
centralized management system. From the small but powerful AP One AC mini to the top-of-
the-line AP One 300M our AP Series offers wireless networking solutions to suit any business
need, and every access point is loaded with essential features such as multiple SSIDs, VLAN,
WDS, and Guest Protect.
A single access point provides as many as 32 virtual access points (16 on single-radio models),
each with its own security policy (WPA, WPA2, etc.) and authentication mechanism (802.1x,
open, captive portal, etc.), allowing faster, easier, and more cost effective network builds. Each
member of the AP Series family also features a high powered Wi-Fi transmitter that greatly
enhances coverage and performance while reducing equipment costs and maintenance.
