Features & Benefits
Enterprise-Class Wireless LAN for Anywhere Network Access
The 3Com Wireless LAN Access Point 8250 creates an enterprise-class wireless LAN supporting up to 253 simultaneous users. The 8250 Access Point is designed from the ground up as a modular, upgradeable platform for configuration flexibility and investment protection. It ships as a single-mode 802.11g 2.4 GHz, 54-Mbps access point with an open interchangeable radio slot. As your needs grow, you may add 802.11a support in this access point to optimize performance and user density.
Built-in security, manageability and reliability features make it ideal for any organization or institution facing increasing mobile computing needs. To protect communications and sensitive data on the wireless LAN, the 8250 Access Point offers one of the most advanced and comprehensive set of authentication and encryption security capabilities on the market today. Web-based network management tools make configuration and remote management of the network painless, while SNMP and 3Com Network Supervisor support integrates the wireless LAN with your wired infrastructure. Wi-Fi certification ensures interoperability with Wi-Fi-certified products from other vendors.
Important: If the access point is used with an external antenna you must also purchase an antenna cable. For maximum efficiency, you should use the shortest antenna cable possible. Antenna cables induce signal loss, which will limit the radiated power output and range of the access point. Of the options available, we recommend the 3Com 6-Foot Antenna Cable (see Product Options).
