Product Features
Technical Overview
At its core, the AP332CR utilizes the IEEE 802.11ax wireless standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6, which introduces technologies like OFDMA and Target Wake Time to improve efficiency, reduce latency, and increase overall network capacity. The access point operates across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, providing broad compatibility with legacy and modern client devices while optimizing performance and minimizing interference.
The unit is equipped with four external omnidirectional antennas, which are included in the package. This antenna configuration supports MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, enhancing signal reliability and throughput by transmitting multiple data streams simultaneously. For network uplink, a single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port ensures high-speed wired backhaul connectivity, and this port also functions as a PoE PD (Powered Device) port, accepting power from a compatible PoE switch or injector.
