Key Features & Benefits
1. Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) Certified Performance
- Dual‑band operation: 2.4 GHz (4×4 MIMO) + 5 GHz (flexible 8×8 or dual 4×4 MIMO) for aggregate throughput up to 2.4 Gbps.
- OFDMA & MU‑MIMO: Enables simultaneous data transmission to multiple clients, reducing latency and boosting capacity by up to 4× compared to Wi‑Fi 5.
- Target Wake Time (TWT): Optimizes power consumption for IoT devices, extending battery life.
2. High‑Density & IoT‑Ready Design
- Integrated antennas: Compact, low‑profile design with built‑in omnidirectional antennas for easy ceiling/wall mounting (no external antennas required).
- Four radios: Dedicated 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and IoT radio (BLE 5.1 + Zigbee support) for concurrent Wi‑Fi and IoT connectivity.
- High Density Experience (HDX): Delivers stable performance for 4K/8K video, HD collaboration, and all‑wireless offices.
3. Multigigabit Connectivity
- 5 Gbps NBASE‑T Ethernet port: Supports 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps over existing Cat 5e/6 cabling, eliminating network bottlenecks.
- PoE+ & UPOE support: Powers via 802.3at PoE+ or Universal PoE (UPOE) for flexible deployment.
4. Enterprise‑Grade Security & Management
- WPA3 encryption: Next‑gen wireless security with Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE).
- Cisco DNA Center integration: Centralized management, analytics, and automation for end‑to‑end network visibility.
- Embedded Wireless Controller (EWC): Optional controller‑less deployment for small-to‑medium businesses.
5. Durability & Deployment Flexibility
- Indoor‑rated: Sleek white enclosure, ideal for offices, hospitals, schools, and retail spaces.
- Easy mounting: Compatible with standard ceiling grids and wall brackets for quick installation.
