ALCATEL OMNI Data A/05 OV-AP-NM-20-N is a network access point appliance designed to manage and host up to 20 wireless access points. The appliance provides centralized control for deploying and scaling Wi‑Fi networks in business, branch office, and small campus environments. It supports predictable capacity planning by specifying a 20 AP management footprint and integrates with standard wired networks to deliver unified administration of connected access points.

Advantages

This appliance consolidates access point management into a single device, simplifying configuration, firmware distribution, and monitoring for multiple APs. By supporting a fixed capacity for 20 APs, it helps plan network expansion and ensures consistent performance expectations. The unit reduces administrative overhead through centralized policies and streamlines troubleshooting by aggregating status and logs from all managed APs.
