5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Intended for commercial premises such as hotels and apartment buildings, the idea is to allow the connection of VoIP phones, IPTV set-top boxes and other networked equipment (Power over Ethernet is supported), while providing in-room b/g Wi-Fi for guests. Priced at $A527, you might think this would be a handy device for keeping things tidy (and signals strong) in a home or small office - but there's a catch. For large installations, you'll need a $A12,080 ProCurve MSM760 mobility controller to manage the access devices. If you've already installed a ProCurve 5400 or 8200 switch, you can add a $A10,570 MSM765 controller instead. But if you need no more than 10 MSM317s, you can go for the significantly cheaper ($A1408) MSM710 Access Controller Instead. If you want to use the Power over Ethernet feature, you'll also need to use the devices with a switch that supports PoE, or add one or more Procurve J9407A PoE power injectors at $A110 a pop. |
