Cisco Aironet AP3500-E 2.4 GHz FH Wireless Access Point PN: 100-003454-001

This item is a Aironet Wireless Communications AP3500 Frequency Hopping Wireless Ethernet Access Point.

Physically identical to the AP4500 except for labeling, the Aironet AP3500 AP shares the same well-designed configuration and management interfaces. As with InTalk's AP, you can also configure it as a wireless repeater, but not as a wireless point-to-point bridge. Since the 4500 delivers better throughput than the AP3500, Aironet does not offer a wireless point-to-point bridge version of the latter. However, the vendor offers wireless station adapters that let you connect Ethernet and serial devices to a 3500-based network; unfortunately, they are not IEEE-compliant. While the 3500 is a respectable offering, Aironet's long-term strategy appears to emphasize direct-sequence technology; it maintains a presence in the FH camp to serve those applications that can benefit from this alternative
