Innovative Design Delivers
Greater Flexibility and Investment
Protection
Today’s organizations must meet the increasing
bandwidth demands of a mobile population
while maximizing existing technology
investments. The Brocade® Mobility 1240
Access Point (AP) goes beyond typical AP
functionality and features. In addition to
providing high-speed and reliable network
access, its unique modular design protects
investments by enabling organizations to
easily adapt to future requirements.
Similar to the Brocade Mobility 7131 and
a component of the Brocade HyperEdge™
Architecture, the Brocade Mobility 1240
provides enterprises and branch offices

with the performance, flexibility, and
resiliency required for wireless enterprises
while two USB slots provide a modular
design for meeting future requirements.
The band-unlocked tri-radio design delivers
simultaneous support for three major
networking functions:
•tHigh-speed wireless voice, video, and
data services for client access
•tSelf-healing mesh networking
•tDedicated wireless Intrusion Prevention
System (IPS) sensor functionality for
protection of wireless and wired networks
