Product Features
Technical Overview
This access point implements the IEEE 802.11ax standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6, which improves efficiency in congested environments through technologies like OFDMA and 1024-QAM. It operates concurrently on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, supporting legacy and modern client devices. The 5.38 Gbit/s maximum wireless speed is achieved through multi-user MIMO and high-order modulation.
WPA3 encryption is supported alongside WPA2 and AES for robust security. The single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port provides ample backhaul capacity, and PoE PD simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a local power outlet. A management port and USB interface offer additional configuration and expansion options.
Relevant factors for this section include Wireless LAN Standard, Bluetooth Standard, Frequency Band, Ethernet Technology. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
