First FIPS 140-2 Level 2* 802.11n
Adaptive Services AP
To effectively protect highly sensitive and
classified data, government agencies
must deploy wireless networks with the
highest possible security. The Brocade®
Mobility 7131-GR Access Point (AP)
addresses these needs and more by
meeting Federal Information Processing
Standard, Publication 140-2 (FIPS 140-2)
and Common Criteria (CC) US Government

performance, coverage, reliability, and
security required for true agency wireless
capabilities. The Brocade Mobility 7131-GR
comes with a band-unlocked dual-radio
design, which provides simultaneous support
for three major networking functions:
• High-speed wireless data, voice, and
video services for client access
• Self-healing mesh networking
• Wireless Intrusion Prevention System
(WIPS) sensor functionality for around-
the-clock network protection
Fully compliant with Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS), the Brocade Mobility
7131-GR 802.11n Draft 2.0 Access Point
offers speeds of up to 600 Mbps per AP—six
times the bandwidth of an 802.11a/g AP. An
Adaptive Services AP architecture enables
two modes of operation, so the Brocade
Mobility 7131-GR can act as a standalone
AP or as a wireless switch-adopted AP for
centralized management.
“NETWORK IN A BOX” FOR
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
The Brocade Mobility 7131-GR functions
as a standalone AP, providing small to
medium-sized agencies and remote offices
with a consolidated wired and wireless
networking infrastructure. This design
eliminates the need to purchase and
manage multiple pieces of equipment,
thanks to an integrated router; gateway;
firewall; Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP); Authentication, Authorization, and
Accounting (AAA); Remote Authentication
Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers;
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) VPN;
hotspot gateway; and Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) capabilities.
CENTRALLY MANAGED ADAPTIVE AP
The Brocade Mobility 7131-GR is also
designed to cost-effectively meet the
needs of large, distributed agencies by
combining the capabilities of a thick AP
and a thin AP. An adaptive mode enables
deployment of a full-feature intelligent
AP, which can be centrally configured
and managed via a Brocade Mobility
controller. All traffic between adaptive
APs and the wireless controller is secured
through an encrypted tunnel.
In the event of a WAN, distribution, or
core network failure, the Brocade Mobility
7131-GR offers a Remote Site Survivability
(RSS) feature, which helps ensure the
delivery of secure uninterrupted wireless
service in remote locations.
