WLAN access points & wireless communication solutions for businesses

What are the advantages of a wireless access point?

A wireless access point (WAP) connects wired networks with wireless end devices.

Advantages at a glance:

• Optimized wireless coverage in large or complex buildings
• High number of simultaneous users possible
• Support for modern standards such as Wi-Fi 6/6E
• Integrated security features and network management

Our manufacturer highlights in the wireless sector 

Rely on proven brands for a stable and future-proof WLAN infrastructure:

• Cisco Wireless Access Point: Known for enterprise functionality and security (e.g., Cisco WLAN Access Point Air AP2802I-E-K9)
• Aruba: Powerful models such as Aruba AP 515, AP 505, or AP 635 with Wi-Fi 6 support and cloud management
• Dell: Complements the communications portfolio with solutions such as the interposer adapter for modular system design
• IBM: With Storwize controllers for efficient storage management as part of comprehensive network infrastructures

What types of access points are there?

Standalone devices vs. controller-based systems

• Standalone access points are suitable for smaller installations or additions
• Controller-based solutions offer centralized management for multiple devices – ideal for larger networks

Indoor vs. outdoor access points

• Indoor access points are optimized for office environments (e.g., Cisco WiFi Access Point)
• Outdoor variants are weatherproof and designed for outdoor use – e.g., for warehouses or outdoor locations

Buying a WiFi access point: Pay attention to the frequency band (2.4 GHz/5 GHz/6 GHz), supported standards (Wi-Fi 5/6/6E), number of simultaneous connections, PoE capability, and security features (WPA3, VLANs, etc.).

Which access point is right for your business?

Choosing the right access point depends on several factors:

• Number of users: For high user density, models with multiple antennas and MU-MIMO are recommended
• Building structure: Thick walls or large areas require devices with a long range or mesh functionality
• Network security: Use devices with up-to-date encryption and management options such as VLANs or RADIUS

Examples of professional devices:

• Aruba AP 505: Compact model with Wi-Fi 6 – ideal for SMEs
• Aruba AP 515: For high user numbers – suitable for offices, educational institutions, or retail
• Aruba AP 635: Wi-Fi 6E with 6 GHz band – for maximum performance in modern IT environments
• Cisco Air AP2802I-E-K9: High capacity, flexible deployment, controller-enabled

Technical features for B2B use

Professional access points from HPE, Cisco, or Aruba offer numerous features:

• PoE (Power over Ethernet) – easy installation without a separate power supply
• Band steering – intelligent distribution across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• Roaming capability – uninterrupted switching between access points
• Cloud management – centralised administration via HPE Aruba Central, Cisco Meraki, etc.
