2.3 AP 7161 VMM Mounting and Installation
The AP 7161 Vehicle Mounted Modem (VMM) is a software enabled profile within the WiNG 5 architecture that
uses the same hardware as the AP 7161 Access Point infrastructure models (see
AP 7161 Hardware).
An AP 7161 Access Point operating as a
VMM can be permanently mounted in a vehicle. It provides mesh backhaul
access to a mesh infrastructure network to connect mobile data terminals, laptop computers, or any other device
that has either an Ethernet or 802.11 wireless capability. The VMM operates on Power over Ethernet (PoE) and is
rugged enough for installation in commercial and public safety vehicles for mobile deployments. It is recommended
to use the AP 7161 vehicle mount kit (KT-158767-01) for mobile deployments.
