Product Features
Technical Overview
This access point operates on dual frequency bands—5 GHz and 2.40 GHz—delivering flexible channel selection and reduced interference for improved network performance. The 5.20 Gbit/s wireless transmission speed supports data-intensive applications such as video streaming, VoIP, and large file transfers without bottlenecks. MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology enhances throughput and range by using multiple antennas for simultaneous data streams, while beamforming focuses Wi-Fi signals directly toward connected devices for stronger, more reliable connections.
Wired connectivity is handled by two 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports, providing high-speed uplinks to your network backbone. One port supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) PD, allowing the access point to receive both data and power over a single Ethernet cable for simplified installation and reduced cabling clutter. A dedicated management port offers out-of-band configuration and monitoring capabilities for network administrators.
