Re-architect the edge of your network and tackle the toughest wireless workloads
Featuring a three-radio, three-stream design, the AP433e taps the full potential of 802.11n standards to deliver in today’s world of high client density and diversity, meeting the demand for wireless high-bandwidth and mobility applications.
Added radios boost the benefits of Channel Layering, multiplying capacity within a single access point or segregating mission-critical applications. Built for mobility applications, for example an industrial site or convention/arena, the AP433e defines the new network edge, preparing enterprises for the all-wireless workforce and the mobility of business-essential applications.
Designed for flexibility and to answer specific enterprise aesthetics requirements, the AP433e can be configured with optional antennas, including an external wall mount MIMO 3-Patch antenna and a ceiling mount MIMO panel antenna. The AP433e can also be mounted with a security lock directly on a suspended ceiling or a wall. And because the AP433e is plenum-rated, it can be hidden above a suspended ceiling.
Benefits
