Multipath problems caused by concrete and steel building materials, and interference from nearby networks, create headaches for IT Managers tasked with extending wireless network access within their corporate premises. An easy to deploy access point with proven link reliability and performance in such enterprise environments will help you grow your WiFi network business.

The enterprise-class DirectedAP WiFi Access Point increases throughput and range of wireless networks by employing CalAmp's advanced beamforming technology. Providing full interoperability with Wi Fi clients, CalAmp's DirectedAP offers dependable performance in even the most challenging RF environments, where traditional access points struggle and often fail to maintain adequate network connections with their clients. It's performance, range and reliability simplifies network deployment and operation, ultimately lowering total cost of ownership.

Unlike traditional wireless LAN access points that merely increase RF signal power in an attempt to reach distant clients, DirectedAP intelligently selects the optimum antenna configuration from its sophisticated integrated antenna array for each individual packet. Therefore CalAmp's DirectedAP can be counted on to reliably maintain connections with clients, even under the most demanding non-line-of-sight conditions.

DirectedAP takes the fear out of covering diverse spectral RF environments while being user transparent and fully compatible with standard 802.11a, b/g wireless networks: no special client hardware is required for DirectedAP to improve range, throughput and spatial and temporal stability of your WiFi network. DirectedAP will increase overall network performance while improving RF signal containment within your premise and away from potential intruders (a welcome security feature). By optimizing the wireless link to each client, especially those at difficult locations which otherwise are penalized by low data transfer rates, overall data throughput and efficiency of the wireless LAN is significantly improved.

DirectedAP is an economic implementation of CalAmp's industry leading RASTER™ beamforming technology. This Technology enhances signal quality in both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum by combining appropriately weighed signals from its integrated antenna array. A CalAmp proprietary dual-band pre-processor controls the RF circuitry to optimize each transmit and receive waveform; spatial processing helps improve overall system SNR while minimizing the effects of RF interference. Utilizing an industry leading Wi Fi chipset backend, DirectedAP allows switch suppliers to leverage their investments in AP software development. DirectedAP is the perfect investment for enterprise WLAN deployments with a centralized architecture using wireless switches to provide network management and control. It is uniquely designed to support a wide variety of different 802.11a, b/g client hardware while providing reliable performance for future applications such as Voice over IP over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN).

With DirectedAP, an IT manager no longer has to fear attenuation and RF multipath effects of concrete and/or steel office walls in enterprise WLAN deployments. Its robust performance, even in challenging environments and its exceptional deployment flexibility make it a first choice for providing solid, standards based and professional enterprise-class WiFi coverage today.
