IAP-205

UNIQUE BENEFITS
• Wi-Fi client optimization
– To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, 200
series APs feature patented ClientMatch technology,
which continuously gathers session performance metrics
from mobile devices.
– If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF
interference impedes performance, ClientMatch
automatically steers the device to a better AP.
• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC)
– ACC lets WLANs perform at peak efficiency by
minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks,
distributed antenna systems and commercial small
cell/femtocell equipment.
• Quality of service for unified communication apps
– The 200 series APs support priority handling and policy
enforcement for unified communication apps, including
Microsoft Lync with encrypted videoconferencing, voice,
chat and desktop sharing.

AP-200 SERIES SPECIFICATIONS
• AP-205 and IAP-205
– 2.4-GHz (300 Mbps max rate) and 5-GHz (867 Mbps max
rate) radios, each with 2×2 MIMO and four integrated
omni-directional downtilt antennas.
• AP-204 and IAP-204
– 2.4-GHz (300 Mbps max rate) and 5-GHz (867 Mbps max
rate) radios, each with 2×2 MIMO and two combined,
diplexed external RP-SMA antenna connectors.

ADVANCED FEATURES
• RF management
– Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) technology
automatically assigns channel and power settings,
provides airtime fairness and ensures that APs stay clear
of all sources of RF interference to deliver reliable,
high-performance WLANs.
– The 200 Series APs can be configured to provide
part-time or dedicated air monitoring for spectrum
analysis and wireless intrusion protection, VPN tunnels
to extend remote locations to corporate resources, and
wireless mesh connections where Ethernet drops are
not available.
• Spectrum analysis
– Capable of part-time or dedicated air monitoring, the
spectrum analyzer remotely scans the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz
radio bands to identify sources of RF interference.
• Security
– Integrated wireless intrusion protection offers thread
protection and mitigation, and eliminates the need for
separate RF sensors and security appliances.
– IP reputation and security services identify, classify, and
block malicious files, URL and IPs, providing comprehensive
protection against advanced online threats.
– Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys.
– SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet traffic.

ANTENNAS
• AP-204/IAP-204: Two RP-SMA connectors for external dual
band antennas. Internal loss between radio interface and
external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry):
1.5 dB in 2.4 GHz and 3.0 dB in 5 GHz.
• AP-205/IAP-205: Four integrated downtilt omni-directional
antennas for 2×2 MIMO with maximum antenna gain of
4.0 dBi in 2.4 GHz and 6.0 dBi in 5 GHz. Built-in antennas
are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation
of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is
approximately 30 degrees.
