Data Sheet
OAP180 Rugged Access Point
Easiest-to-deploy, centrally managed rugged access point
for extending enterprise-class Wi-Fi connectivity to outdoor
and challenging indoor environments
Dual-radio Access Point for Enterprise
Networks
The Meru OAP180 Rugged Access Point delivers secure,
high performance Wi-Fi connectivity to extend enterprise
deployments to outdoor locations like campuses, parking
lots, and pole tops; or harsh indoor environments including
breweries, food processing plants or warehouses.
The OAP180 is a part of the Meru WLAN solution, which
consists of coordinated Meru access points (APs) at the edge
and centralized Meru controllers for management, security,
and coordination for over-the-air reliability and Quality of
Service (QoS). The Meru OAP180 provides best-in-class
security, Voice over WLAN (VoWLAN) support, and reliability
essential for enterprise-class Wi-Fi connectivity.
For customers planning new outdoor installations or
adding capacity and coverage to existing WLANs in harsh
environments, the OAP180 is the easiest-to-deploy AP in
its class. Like other Meru APs, the OAP180 is a plug-and-
play device that needs no configuration and no complex
RF channel planning. Centralized configuration with Meru
controllers and RF coordination provided by Meru Air Traffic
Control™ technology eliminates these costly installation
steps.
Zero-Configuration Design Streamlines
Installation and Reduces Costs
Installing a new wireless device outdoors can be expensive
due to the high labor costs associated with configuring
the network APs. The OAP180, along with the centralized
Meru WLAN architecture, is designed to solve this problem.
Because the OAP180 requires zero configuration, installation
is a simple plug-and-play procedure, which greatly reduces
time and costs. Additional Meru OAP180 configuration
benefits include:
• Wi-Fi Alliance Certified™ for WPA2
• Automatic AP discovery and configuration
• No channel planning required with single
channel installations
• Intelligent load balancing of clients
• No need to extend VLAN trunks to the edge—
done centrally at the controller in the
distribution layer or core layer
Multi-Layered Security Approach
Offers Greater Network Protection
To help deliver greater security for the WLAN, Meru APs
go beyond the basic over-the-air protections by providing
multi-layered security policies.
• Local and RADIUS MAC Filtering
• WPA2, WPA, 802.1x, and WEP
• No security information contained within
access point
• Operates only with Meru controllers
• Multiple static or automatic security zones with
individual security policies help ensure separation of
different user groups or dynamic VLAN assignments
per user based on RADIUS credentials — includes guest
access captive portal.
Centralized RF Management Lowers
Operational Costs
Post-installation maintenance and help-desk costs are
some of the challenges for IT organizations. Meru reduces
management complexity with its E(z)RF™ Application Suite.
Meru E(z)RF is a centralized management tool that enables
network administrators to remotely manage Meru APs and
controllers.
• Centralized dashboard to monitor and troubleshoot the
entire WLAN — including OAP180s
• Graphical view of performance and coverage parameters
to better visualize the RF footprint of each OAP180
• Central template-based configuration of all Meru
controllers and OAP180 Rugged Access Points
High-performance Access Point Provides
Investment Protection
As enterprise applications and user density continue to
increase, and 802.11a/b/g clients are now commonplace
in laptops, the Meru OAP180 ensures that your network
supports the full breadth of WLAN clients.
• One 802.11a and one 802.11b/g radio
• Simultaneous support for 802.11a, 802.11b,
and 802.11g clients
