OmniAccess Stellar AP1201

Indoor IoT Ready 802.11ac Wave 2
wireless access point

Multifunctional Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess®

StellarAP1201 access point is an entry range,
affordable, 802.11ac Wave 2 AP for small and
large business deployments. The OmniAccess
Stellar AP1201 indoor Wi-Fi access point provides
high throughput and a seamless user experience.

The efficient 802.11ac AP1201 access point supports a maximum concurrent data rate of 1.2 Gb/s
(867 Mb/s in 5 GHz and 400 Mb/s in 2.4 GHz), 80 MHz channels (VHT80), multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) and
two spatial streams (2SS) per radio. It provides simultaneous multicast data transmission to multiple devices,
maximizing data throughput and improving network efficiency.

Featuring enhanced WLAN technology with RF Radio Dynamic Adjustment, a distributed control
Wi-Fi architecture, secure network admission control with unified access, built in application intelligence and
analytics, making it ideal for enterprises of all sizes demanding a simple, secure and scalable wireless solution.

OmniAccess Stellar AP1201 has integrated support for BLE5.0/Zigbee/Thread, making it ideal for broad scope of
IoT end-points and applications.

Cloud enabled with OmniVista Cirrus

The AP1201 access points can be managed by Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® Cirrus cloud platform. OmniVista®
Cirrus powers a secure, resilient and scalable cloud-based network management platform. It offers hassle free
network deployment and easy service rollout with advanced analytics for smarter decision making. Offers IT
friendly Unified Access with secure authentication and policy enforcement
for users and devices.

OmniVista 2500 managed deployment
The AP1201 AP can be managed by Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista® 2500 on premise Network Management System.
The access points are managed as one or more access point (AP) groups (a logical grouping of one or more
access points). The OmniVista 2500 next generation management suite embeds a visionary controller-less
architecture, providing user friendly workflows for unified access together with an integrated unified policy
authentication manager (UPAM) which helps define authentication strategy and policy enforcement for
employees, guest management and BYOD devices. The AP1201 has built-in DPI technology providing real-
time Application Monitoring and enforcement. The network administrator can obtain a comprehensive view of
applications running in the network and apply adequate control to optimize the performance of the network for
business critical applications. OmniVista 2500 provides advanced options for RF management, WIDS/WIPS for
intrusion detection and prevention, and a heat map for WLAN site planning.

Plug and Play: Secure Web managed (HTTPS) cluster deployment

The AP1201 by default operates in a cluster architecture to provide simplified plug-and-play deployment. The
access point cluster is an autonomous system that consists of a group of OmniAccess Stellar APs and a virtual
controller, which is a selected access point, for cluster management. One AP cluster supports up to 64 APs.

The access point cluster architecture ensures simplified and quick deployment. Once the first AP
is configured using the configuration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will come up automatically with an
updated configuration. This ensures the whole network is up and functional within a few minutes.

The AP1201 also supports secure zero-touch provisioning with Alcatel- Lucent OXO Connect R2, a mechanism by
which all access points in a cluster will obtain bootstrap data securely from an on-premise OXO Connect.

Integrated guest management

The AP1201 supports role based management access to the AP cluster which includes Admin, Viewer and
GuestOperator access. GuestOperator access simplifies guest account creation and management,
and can be used by any non-IT person such as a front desk worker or receptionist. The AP1201 access point also
support a built-in customizable captive portal which enables customers to offer unique guest access.

Quality of service for unified communication apps

The OmniAccess Stellar AP1201 access point support fine tuned, quality of service (QoS) parameters to
differentiate and provide appropriate QoS for each application such as voice, video and desktop sharing.
OmniAccess Stellar AP is 802.11e (WMM) compliant, also providing marking for RTP/SRTP sessions which include
Skype for business, Google Hangout etc.

RF management
Radio Dynamic Adjustment (RDA) technology automatically assigns channels and power settings, provides DFS/
TPC, and ensures that access points stay clear of all radio frequency interference (RFI) sources to deliver reliable,
high-performance wireless LANs. The OmniAccess Stellar AP1201 AP can be configured to provide part-time or
dedicated air monitoring for spectrum analysis and wireless intrusion protection.

Simultaneous BLE beacon and BLE Gateway functionality

The AP1201 has built-in BLE that can act in either BLE beacon mode and BLE gateway mode or both modes
simultaneously. This enables a single infrastructure to be used for asset tracking as well as for other Location-
Based Services like smart-phone based Way-Finding, Geo-Notification etc. Employing a single infrastructure
simplifies the solution deployment and reduces the cost of a total location services solution.
