Product Features
Technical Overview
The LOCO5AC operates on the 5 GHz frequency band using IEEE 802.11ac wireless standards, achieving a maximum transmission speed of 450 Mbit/s. This performance is supported by MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, which improves data throughput and signal stability by using multiple antennas for simultaneous data streams. The access point's radio design is optimized for outdoor use, offering robust connectivity in environments with potential interference or long-distance requirements.
Connectivity is handled through a single Gigabit Ethernet port that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both data and electrical power to be delivered over a single cable. This simplifies installation by reducing cable clutter and enabling placement in locations without direct power access. The Gigabit Ethernet backbone ensures that wired network connections do not become a bottleneck, maintaining high-speed data transfer between the access point and the network core.
Key Product Advantages
The LOCO5AC stands out for its combination of compact design, high-performance wireless capabilities, and installation flexibility. Its pole-mountable form factor allows for easy deployment in outdoor settings, while PoE support streamlines power delivery without additional adapters. These features make it a practical choice for extending network coverage efficiently.
