Product Features
Technical Overview
This access point operates on the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/e/i/r/k/v/w), offering backward compatibility with previous Wi-Fi generations while introducing efficiencies like Target Wake Time (TWT) for better power management on client devices. The dual-band radio supports simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz transmissions, with four internal antennas enabling stable coverage and reduced latency.
Connectivity is centered on a single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port that serves as both the data uplink and PoE PD (Powered Device) input, allowing the unit to be powered directly from a compatible PoE switch or injector. A USB 3.0 port is available for potential expansions or peripheral connections. The device also supports Bluetooth 5 for auxiliary wireless communications.
Relevant factors for this section include Wireless LAN Standard, Bluetooth Standard, Network 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.
