Access Points

Most Mako devices in the 4000 and 5000 Series have both security gateway and access point (AP) deployment modes. Access point mode is a security feature that can be activated in the Mako Central Management System (CMS) to restrict the device to only those functions necessary to provide wireless connectivity. These smaller Mako devices are typically used to extend wireless range, to improve broadcast/reception positioning or to upgrade existing Mako System deployments to the latest performance standards.

Key Features

WIRELESS ACCESS POINT

Mako access points are designed specifically to meet the wireless needs of distributed enterprises. A smaller footprint and flexible mounting options physically differentiate Mako access points from other Mako devices. Certain models have an IP67 rating for deployment to outdoor environments.

SECURE REMOTE WORKERS

Mako access points can also be deployed in security gateway mode, which allows the device to function as a secure edge router or a secure zone router for networking applications such as remote workers, where Mako VPN Cloud technology connects employees and contractors to your business network from home or the field as safely and easily as connecting on-site.

POWER OVER ETHERNET

Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology allows devices to transmit and receive both data and electric power over a single Ethernet cable connection. Sites where wall sockets are unavailable, unreliable or incompatible can use PoE to power Mako access points.

SECURE WI-FI

Certain Mako security gateway models feature dual‐band wireless for customer hotspots or general business use and support up to eight wireless SSIDs per device. The Mako System’s PCI DSS certification covers both wired and wireless communications, so your Wi-Fi networks can be configured securely for wireless devices handling sensitive data, such as POS tablets or healthcare equipment.

PCI DSS CERTIFIED

Unlike other networking solutions, the entire Mako System, including the Mako CMS and all Mako devices, is end‐to‐end PCI DSS certified, providing peace of mind that your sensitive data is handled properly. Mako’s PCI-certified enterprise templates facilitate bulk security configuration of Mako devices and make it easy to demonstrate compliance when necessary.

CLOUD MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING

Mako security gateways are fully cloud-managed via the Mako CMS, making remote management, monitoring and support simple and straightforward. Using a patented communications protocol, each Mako device connects securely to the Mako CMS over the public Internet. User security features include multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. Authorized users have 24/7 remote access from anywhere in the world to a complete suite of cloud-based tools for advanced configuration, automated real-time alerts, enterprise reporting and troubleshooting diagnostics, reducing or eliminating the need for on-site maintenance.
