Access Points Specifications

Help with Access Points specifications:

Network Equipment Type

	Area Network Type
	Your choices are...
	Campus Area Network (CAN)		Campus area networks (CAN) are networks covering multiple local area networks (LANs) at universities, school districts or small business campuses. They are smaller than metropolitan area networks (MAN).
	Enterprise Area Network (EAN)		Enterprise area networks (EAN) are networks that securely connect all locations for business networks.
	Local Area Network (LAN)		Local area networks (LAN) are networks that connect a group of computers and devices, such as printers or scanners, over short distances.
	Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)		Metropolitan area networks (MAN) are networks that connect devices over medium distances, such as a town or city. They are larger reaching than local area networks (LAN) but smaller than wide area networks (WAN).
	Storage Area Network (SAN)		Storage area networks (SAN) are dedicated networks that connect storage devices to other storage devices.
	Wide Area Network (WAN)		Wide area networks (WAN) are networks that connect devices over large physical distances, such as the internet.
	Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)		Wireless local area networks (WLAN) are networks that connect devices wirelessly over short distances, similarly to local area networks (LAN).

Network Media http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=31276&seqNum=4

	Your choices are...
	Coaxial		Coaxial cable contains a solid inner conductor with a hollow outer conductor separated by insulating material. The outer conductor acts as a shield for the inner conductor and is a foil or braid.
	Fiber Optic		Fiber optic cable has a glass core that transmits light surrounded by insulated jacket.
	UTP Cable		UTP cable is composed of twisted pairs of copper wire surrounded by insulated jacket.
	Wireless		The network device uses wireless technology to connect to the network.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Features

	Features
	Your choices are...
	Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Ready		The device supports power over Ethernet (PoE) signals. Both data and power are delivered in one cable to a powered device (PD).
	Internet of Things (IoT) Compatible		The device is compatible with the Internet of Things (IoT) network.
	Ruggedized		Hardened products are designed to withstand extreme conditions. Their casings provide protection from weather-related conditions and can act as a heat sink, directing high temperatures away from sensitive components. Hardened products use more reliable components than commercial products and are often used in telecommunications applications.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
