1.Introduction and Scope
Pepwave’s 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 mini to the
top-of-the-line AP Pro, the Pepwave AP Series offers wireless networking solutions to suit any
business need, and every Pepwave access point is loaded with essential features such as
multiple SSIDs, VLAN, WDS, and Guest Protect.
A single Pepwave access point can masquerade as up to four virtual access points, 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
Pepwave AP Series family also features a high-powered Wi-Fi transmitter that greatly enhances
coverage and performance while reducing equipment costs and maintenance.
