This highest-performance family of access points improves productivity. HP is the first in the industry to offer three spatial stream MIMO technology to enterprise businesses. This brings IEEE 802.11n near Gigabit Ethernet performance to 900 Mbps and enhances coverage areas with beamforming technology. These APs deliver the highest performance in 802.11n AP technology with outstanding price and performance. Each dual radio 802.11n access point operates in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, providing backward compatibility for IEEE 802.11a/b/g legacy client devices. These APs can operate with or without a wireless controller and support all the same enterprise features as the prior HP MSM wireless products, in addition to new features, such as beamforming, bandsteering, and concurrent 5 GHz operation. The MSM466 and MSM466-R access points also support a range of MIMO antennas, while the MSM466-R access point is in an outdoor enclosure and is designed to work under adverse conditions.
