Motorola AP 8132 (AP-8132-66040-US)

AP 8132 is a dual-radio unit that provides high-performance network access with data rates of up to 450 Mbps, and much more. Its modular design allows you to deploy and manage multiple applications quickly, securely and cost-efficiently. The AP 8132 leverages your wireless network and enables application modules to work seamlessly with software on your integrated services platform.

There's never been an access point like the AP 8132. Its ability to multi-task unleashes unlimited possibilities for application module development and deployment in a wide range of industries. As the third-party developer community ramps up design of innovative new modules, IT managers will find a virtually limitless number of ways of using the AP 8132. These can include, for example, sensor networks, security systems, inventory management applications, video analytics, redundant 3G backhaul networks and more.

Features

• Spoiler alerts
  A high-end food store requires sophisticated refrigerated storage with numerous products needing to be stored at a variety of temperatures from cool to frozen. The store could deploy the AP 8132 in the kitchen area to not only provide high-speed communications, but also to collect data from numerous sensors, alerting managers to product-specific temperature fluctuations that could cause spoilage.
• Better-connected guests
  Today's hospitality guests demand high-performance network connectivity for their mobile computers and smart devices. At a resort complex, the IT department could use AP 8132 access points to provide different levels of wireless Internet services by differentiating between premier and regular guests. This enables the resort to charge a premium for - or reward loyal customers by - providing higher data rates that increase range and performance on tablets and mobile devices. Because of the AP 8132's ability to utilize additional plug-and-play modules, the hotel can use the same units to deploy an IP camera application module for real-time, round-the-clock video surveillance.
• Codes and clouds
  In an enormous membership store, shopping for a television set can be daunting. Faced with a wall of TVs of every size and type, shopers need information. And while customer-accessed QR codes can provide useful data, coverage inside such large interiors can be problematic. In addition to its modularity benefits, the AP 8132 offers high data rates that enable strong smartphone and tablet connections for accessing QR code data and information, as well as information the customer has stored on the cloud.
• Network security improvement
  For a large-scale home improvement center, safety and security are significant and costly challenges. The IT department can deploy AP 8132 access points to enhance connectivity across both a large retail floor and interior greenhouse spaces. Using the same AP 8132s, the retailer can use a plug-in module to easily deploy 24/7 network monitoring and wireless intrusion protection and detection systems, such as Motorola's AirDefense solutions to help identify, respond to and eliminate security threats.
• An eye on the customer
  To help maximize client experiences, a sporting goods superstore could use the AP 8132 for more than highperformance customer access. Using a plug-in video camera module, merchandisers could use video analytics to pinpoint a customer's exact location in the store. This micro-locationing provides the ability to interact with customers where the buying decision is being made, for example, sending a special offer on parkas as they're shopping for outerwear.
• Five-star redundancy
  Today's Five-Star hotels rely on high performance communications networks to increase guest satisfaction and repeat stays, as well as ensuring 24/7 operations efficiency, security and productivity. In a smoothly running hospitality business, a network outage can be a disaster. An IT director needing to ensure business continuity could use the AP 8132 to deliver network access simply by plugging in a 3G backhaul application module, to provide network redundancy.
