AP 8432 Wireless Access Point

AP 8432 – A True 802.11ac, Wave 2 Access Point

DO MORE TODAY. ADD THE INTERNET OF THINGS TOMORROW.

Imagine what your business could do with a wireless network up to eight times wider and faster. Now, picture having a WLAN that pushes contextual offers to customers, provides strategic-shaping analytics, and automatically wards off interference and security risks. As if that isn’t enough, the unmatched benefits of Zebra’s AP 8432 doesn’t stop there. With built-in PoE-out (Power over Ethernet), it connects with any third-party Internet of Things network. Connect IP video cameras to count customers and reduce shrinkages; add wireless temperature sensors and more. All this can be achieved without the cost and complexity of competitive alternatives, which require multiple access points, cables, and Ethernet switch ports.

HIGH-DENSITY NETWORK
Our true 802.11ac Wave 2 access point, along with the high-density optimization in WiNG 5, maximize the value of MU-MIMO. The AP 8432 supports hundreds of wireless clients and concurrent transmissions critical for any enterprise.

EASY IoT ADOPTION
Zebra’s AP 8432 seamlessly integrates IoT devices via the secondary Gigabit Ethernet port, providing full 802.3af power and IP connectivity. For advanced management of your IoT network, the AP 8432 can treat each port as a Layer-2 or Layer-3 interface, offering router services, IP firewalls and multiple packet forwarding modes.

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE
Using the Integrated Deep Packet Inspection engine (DPI), along with Zebra NSight™ Platform*, the AP 8432 tirelessly optimizes the network. From RF errors to key performance indicators, the AP 8432 collects data to measure, monitor and secure application performance. Thanks to its intelligent distributed architecture -- WiNG 5 -- it can proactively adjust to deliver the fastest, most reliable experience. And that’s not all. The AP 8432 works with Zebra’s Azaracloud to deliver unparalleled scalability and ease of deployment.

UNRIVALED SCALABILTY FROM 1 TO CLOUD
With a modern, WiNG 5 distributed operating system, the AP 8432 offers four deployment modes to meet any requirement: standalone AP, virtual controller mode for creating networks up to 64 access points, NOC controllers scaling to 25,000 access points, or enjoy virtually unlimited scalability via Zebra’s Azara cloud.
