Rugged enterprise-class access point designed
for harsh environments
Motorola’s AP-5181 Access Point, specifically
designed for outdoor use, delivers enterprise-class
wireless networking in harsh environments. In
addition to a NEMA 4X-modified housing, severeweather
features include integrated lightning
arrestors, surge protectors, extreme temperature
range operation and an array of antenna and power
accessories. The self-assembling, self-healing
mesh capability supports Wi-Fi multimedia (WMM)
extensions to ensure quality of service (QoS) while
cost-effectively extending corporate networks
beyond and between buildings — with no need
to install additional Ethernet cable or fiber. With
integrated router, firewall, DHCP, AAA and hotspot
services, the AP-5181 offers a superior outdoor
WLAN solution.
Extend the reach of your corporate
network — cost-effectively
When used as either an access port or a mesh
node, the AP-5181 can operate wirelessly, even in
harsh conditions. Outdoor applications don’t mean
sacrificing security or manageability — support for
today’s standards- based security protocols helps
ensure enterprise-level network protection, while
a wide variety of administration options provides
simple, yet powerful management tools. Because
the AP-5181 operates wirelessly, all of this can be
implemented outdoors without the added cost of
installing network cable or fiber.
Mesh networking creates a flexible,
easily-managed network
Using its mesh capability, the dual-radio AP-5181
can connect to other access points for data backhaul
while providing network access to local users.
Enabling an array of applications, from simple pointto-
point bridges connecting two wired networks
to complex multi-node, multi-link networks, this
feature offers a simple way to extend the network
to outdoor or remote locations. The self-assembling
and self-healing aspects of a mesh network make
the network flexible and easy to manage. This,
combined with the straightforward configuration
interface, makes deploying and maintaining a secure
wireless network of access points almost effortless.
Engineered to withstand the elements
Because the AP-5181 was specifically designed for
outdoor use in harsh conditions, it can withstand
wind, rain and extreme temperatures. It comes
standard with integrated lightning arrestors and
surge protection. The optional protective heavy
weather mounting kit is designed to protect it from
windblown debris at velocities of up to 130 mph,
while the surge-protected power tap kit converts
high voltage on light poles to low voltage to run the
AP. In fact, Motorola offers everything required for a
full outdoor AP solution, including a host of outdoor
dual-band antennas and outstanding support.
Adaptive Switch Assisted Mesh
The AP-5181 supports an adaptive mesh mode of
operation where the mesh AP’s can be centrally
configured from the wireless switch. Local bridging
of mesh traffic allows the mesh network to remain
fully operational even if connectivity to the wireless
switch is lost.
