Product Features
Technical Overview
This access point operates on the IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi generation, providing backward compatibility with earlier 802.11 standards. The dual-band radio supports concurrent operation on 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies, allowing network administrators to balance client load and optimize for performance or range.
Wired connectivity is handled through two RJ-45 Ethernet ports that support both Gigabit Ethernet and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Both ports provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, with one configured as a PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) port and the other as a PoE powered device (PD) port for flexible power and data delivery.
Relevant factors for this section include Wireless LAN Standard, Frequency Band, Wireless Transmission Speed, 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.
