AP110 AND AP120 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The AP110 and AP120 are both multi-channel wireless access points. The AP110 contains a dual-band radio
that can operate at either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz—but not in both bands simultaneously. The AP120 contains a 2.4
GHz radio and a 5 GHz radio that can operate concurrently through four internal antennas. These devices
support a variety of Wi-Fi security protocols, including WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2.
You can see the hardware components on the AP in Figure 1. Each component is described in Table 1
"AP110 and AP120 component descriptions".
