Key Features

• Advanced 802.11ax High-Efficiency Technology: It is fully backward compatible with legacy 802.11a/b/g/n/ac deployments. Meanwhile, it provides multi-user enhancements for high-density setups.

• Intelligent RF Optimization (DFA & RDA): The device employs Dynamic Frequency Adjustment (DFA) alongside Radio Dynamic Adjustment (RDA). These protocols automatically assign channels and handle power settings. As a result, they seamlessly bypass Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) sources.

• Advanced Cellular Coexistence (ACC): Built-in interference mitigation minimizes disruptions caused by commercial 3G/4G cellular networks. Additionally, it shields the network from distributed antenna systems (DAS).

• Extended Range (ER) Capability: This feature significantly enhances signal reception and packet delivery. For instance, it excels in complex scenarios where devices encounter high path loss.

• Integrated IoT Connectivity: Built-in Bluetooth 5 and Zigbee radios support modern corporate IoT initiatives. Therefore, enterprises can seamlessly deploy asset location analytics.

• Robust Hardware Security: It features an integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) chip. This hardware component provides secure cryptographic storage for system credentials.

• Flexible Deployment Modes: The access point operates across three architecture modes. Specifically, these include standalone web-managed clusters, on-premises network systems, or full cloud architectures.
