Chapter 3 The AP170 Platform
The AP170 is a multi-channel mesh wireless access point with a watertight chassis that can be deployed in
virtually any outdoor setting, including extreme environments. With four antennas and the ability to provide
service concurrently on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the AP170 supports 802.11n and legacy 802.11a, b,
and g clients. The device provides 2x2 MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) and a single 10/100/1000
Ethernet port through which it is powered using PoE (Power over Ethernet) that follows the IEEE 802.3at
standard.
