Generation-2 Transmit Beamforming benefits overall networking
Transmit Beamforming (TxBF) technology is another key to implement reliable high-density Wi-Fi connection. It increases overall network transmission data rates, which benefits not only MU-MIMO clients but also all existing clients.
Built for Superior performance
The NWA1123-AC HD is built with a high-efficiency antenna module, premium power amplifiers and low-noise elements delivering superior wireless performance over other Wave 2 access points on the market.
Optimized wireless experience with advanced features
To provide outstanding performance in crowded environment, NWA1123-AC HD features 3G/4G interference immunity, excellent receive sensitivity and DCS, which enlarge its service coverage for more clients and better quality of connection.
