Description

This enterprise class Wi-Fi 6 indoor AP provides three radios and two spacial streams, as well as features such as OFDMA and dual 1 Gbps Ethernet ports. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across both bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.

  • 802.11ax | Tri-Radio 5 GHz + 2.4 GHz + scanning | 3 Antennas
  • 2x2 MU-MIMO | Up to 574 Mbps + 1201 Mbps + scanning
