The Trapeze Networks MP-71 is a single radio 802.11b/g indoor access point that features a Fast Ethernet port with 802.3af Power-over- Ethernet (PoE) and dual diversity antennas on the 2.4GHz band. It performs local encryption to offload the WLAN controller, leaving the controller free to enforce stringent security policies and enable fast, seamless identity-based roaming.

The MP-71 is simple to deploy, easy to manage, and supports any kind of service—data, voice, video and location—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. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) or SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP) can be configured to ensure optimal QoS for voice traffic. Policies allow per user, protocol, or class-of-service (CoS) mapping.

The MP-71 plays a key role in rogue and intrusion detection as well as denial-of-service (DoS) attack detection. ActiveScan allows the MP-71 to fulfill a dual role. It scans all active 802.11 b/g channels, while simultaneously providing wireless connectivity to mobile clients.

The MP-71 uses the same Mobility System Software™ as all other Trapeze Mobility Points. For more information about the security and networking capabilities of the MP-71, please read the Mobility System Software datasheet.
