Product Features
Technical Overview
This access point achieves a total wireless transmission speed of 1.74 Gbps through its dual-band architecture. The 5GHz band delivers up to 1201Mbps using WiFi 6 (802.11ax) technology, while the 2.4GHz band provides up to 576Mbps for compatibility with legacy devices. Both bands operate concurrently to maximize network capacity and device performance.
Advanced wireless technologies include MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output) for efficient simultaneous data streaming to multiple clients and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) for reduced latency in high-density environments. The 1024 QAM modulation increases data rates, and support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) enables flexible network expansion through bridging and repeating modes.
Relevant factors for this section include Wireless LAN Standard, Network Band, 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.
