What’s EAP (Enterprise Access Point)
• A device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi
• Providing Stable Connection, Better Coverage, Reliability than consumer APs
• Usually deployed with Wireless Controller, which is used to control , manage APs
• Cisco, Juniper, Ruckus, Aerohive, Aruba are key players in the market

802.11ac Growth Driver of the Future
5 of the top 6 Enterprise AP
vendors use Freescale QorIQ
for Current and new designs
WLAN AP unit growth roughly
equal to Switched GbE port
growth
WLAN AP growth at 12%
CAGR through 2017
11ac over takes 11n by 2017
Freescale QorIQ high performance SoCs are ideal to

Silicon Solution
• Two Chip Solutions
Networking processor with Wi-Fi Radio transceiver
• Players in the market:
• Pros and Cons:
− Freescale CPU computing power and Ethernet performance is superior to other competitors
− Freescale doesn’t have Wi-Fi radio solution, needs to collaborate with Wi-Fi vendors
