Wireless Intrusion Detection/Protection System
The integrated IDS/IPS provides defense against over-the-air attacks by leveraging the sensing capabilities of AP300/ AP51x1/AP7131.

Real Time Locationing System (RTLS)
Provides rich locationing services to enable real-time enterprise asset-tracking through support for 802.11, RFID and third party locationing solutions - including industry leaders such as AeroScout, Ekahau, and Newbury Networks. Standards-based support for: EPC Global ALE interface for processing and filtering data from all active and passive tags; and EPC Global LLRP interface for passive RFID tag support.

Role-based wired/wireless firewall
Secures and protects the wired and wireless network against attacks and unauthorized access at Layer 2 and Layer 3 with stateful inspection; ability to create identity and location-based policies provides granular control of network access.

3G Wireless for WAN Backhaul
Support for 3G wireless cards to backhaul WAN traffic when the primary WAN Link fails.

Enhanced End-to-End Quality of Service (QoS)
Enhances voice and video capabilities; prioritizes network traffic to minimize latency and provide optimal quality of experience; SIP Call Admission Control and Wi-Fi Multimedia Extensions (WMM-Power Save) with Admission Control enhances multimedia application support and improves battery life and capacity.
