Wired and Wireless 802.11n
Wallplate Access Point Delivers
Convenience, Speed, and Security
Conventional Access Points (APs) require
careful planning, in addition to pulling cable
and installing ceiling brackets. Sometimes
organizations need wireless connectivity
installed in minutes, not hours. As a
component of the Brocade® HyperEdge™
Architecture, the Brocade Mobility 6511
Wallplate Access Point (AP) integrates a
dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n AP and switched
Fast Ethernet connectivity into a sleek
design that is fast and easy to deploy on any
wall surface or structured wiring telecom
box using the existing CAT 5/6 cabling.
The Brocade Mobility 6511 is ideal for
dormitories, patient rooms, guest rooms,
and other multi-dwelling units where
walls, metal doors, mirrors, plumbing, and
wall tiles impede hallway Wi-Fi signals. It
features a snap-in port for any keystonestyle connector—such as RJ11 or TV coax—
so multiple services can be supported on
a single integrated AP. Guest rooms often
require additional Ethernet ports for voice
service, device monitoring, or even guest
wireline. A snap-on three-port wired Fast
Ethernet expansion module dramatically
reduces deployment costs by providing
multiple wired Ethernet switch ports while
eliminating multiple CAT 5/6 cables to a
single room.

The Brocade Mobility 6511 provides
enterprises and branch offices with key
functions, including 802.1X and firewall
capabilities on wireless and wired ports,
intrusion prevention, fast roaming, and
Quality of Service (QoS) traffic handling.

NON-BLOCKING, HIGH-PERFORMANCE
802.11n ARCHITECTURE
Fully compliant with 802.11n Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS), the Brocade
Mobility 6511 delivers speeds up to
300 Mbps—six times the bandwidth of an
802.11a/g AP. An adaptive architecture
enables two modes of operation without
changing the firmware—as a stand-alone AP
