Overview:

This high throughput enterprise class 802.11ax indoor AP provides three radios and 8 spatial streams. This top-of-the line access point supports OFDMA, a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, plus an additional 1 Gbps Ethernet port for PoE diversity. The AP can provide 24/7 scanning across both bands while still providing access on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The integrated BLE radio can be used for beacons and locationing applications.

Unified management console simplifies operations, ensuring consistency in effective policy enforcement and compliance.

Wireless LAN security done right, from the leader in network security. Integrated Firewall, IPS, Application Control, and Web Filter protect the wireless LAN from the latest security threats.

Protects the network from advanced wireless threats and satisfies PCI DSS compliance.
