D-Link logoD-Link has rolled out two 802.11ac access points.

The DAP-1665 Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Access Point is an AC1200 class access point with Gigabit Ethernet port and two upgradeable 2 dBi dual-band omni-directional dipole antennas.

It does not support central management and does not support PoE, so is suited for small deployments.

The AP can be configured as an access point, bridge, bridge with access point, repeater, or wireless client and supports WEP and WPA/WPA2 PSK (only) wireless security as well as Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).

The DAP-1665 carries a one-year warranty and is shipping now, with street pricing "under $100".

Supported wireless modes are Access Point, Wireless Distribution System (WDS) with Access Point, WDS/Bridge (No AP Broadcasting) and Wireless Client. Other features include WEP and WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise wireless security, built-in RADIUS server, MAC address filtering, wireless LAN segmentation, SSID broadcast disable, rogue AP detection, and wireless radio scheduling.

Firetide announces ‘Fastest’ Indoor / Outdoor Mesh gear

Wireless mesh company Firetide today announced its new HotPort 6000 indoor and outdoor mesh nodes featuring a dual radio backhaul.

The HotPort 6000 mesh nodes feature high-powered radios that support both licensed and unlicensed bands, eliminating the need to purchase and install separate radios for each spectrum. Bandwidth for both radios can be combined to provide 70 Mbps throughput for "fat" point-to-point backhaul links or for high-resolution video surveillance networks. The radios can also be set to deliver a sustained 35 Mbps bandwidth across an unlimited number of hops if a multi-hop or linear network topology is required.
