Product Features
Technical Overview
This access point operates on the IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard, offering a total theoretical throughput of 1.71 Gbit/s through its combined 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 450 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. The dual-band architecture ensures optimal performance by distributing traffic across frequencies, minimizing interference and congestion in busy network environments.
Connectivity is centered around a single Gigabit Ethernet port that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) via a PoE PD port, enabling streamlined installation without separate power outlets. The device does not include a PoE (RJ-45) port for powering other devices, focusing instead on receiving power for its own operation. Advanced radio design incorporates band steering technology, which automatically directs capable client devices to the less congested 5 GHz band for improved network efficiency and user experience.
Relevant factors for this section include Wireless LAN Standard, Frequency Band, Wireless Transmission Speed, Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports. 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.
