AP550 802.11ac Wave 2 Wireless Access Point

Performance optimized indoor 802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio 4x4:4 MIMO access point with internal antenna Today many bandwidth-hungry critical business applications are accessed over wireless networks. Wi-Fi infrastructures are expected to provide required speed and capacity, and user experience is measured beyond jitter and latency. Number and types of mobile devices that are connecting to Wi-Fi is exponential and large numbers of new devices that do not require human intervention are joining wireless networks every day. AP550 is engineered for these very demanding environments, featuring 802.11ac Wave 2 dual-radio, 4x4:4 MIMO with the software defined radio that allows IT managers to enable 802.11ac 5 Ghz performance on both radios. Built-in BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy) radio enables indoor proximity and location tracking. AP550 is powerful enough to provide all the enterprise-grade features including built-in application visibility and control, RADIUS , DHCP, Captive Web Portal, WIPS, Location services and Spectrum analysis.

Key Benefits

  • High performance with software selectable radio and RF-IQ antenna technology for instant adaptation to the capacity needs
