Description Overview This compact access point ensures the most cost-effective Wi-Fi connectivity for indoor premises including hotel rooms, dormitories, small offices and remote workstations. It’s software configurable to operate in either 1×1 dual radio mode, or 2×2 single radio mode. Powered by PoE, it minimizes power consumption with rich features that further facilitates a highly efficient and reliable wireless network, and combines wireless and wired access in a single compact device. This AP can be easily mounted to a standard data wall-box using the existing structured cabling system or converted to a desk mounted AP using an optional mounting kit.

Built-in antennas are optimized for vertical orientation of the AP. The horizontal beamwidth is roughly 120 degrees. Combining the patterns of each of the antennas of the MIMO radios (in 2×2 mode), the peak gain of the effective per-antenna pattern is 2.3dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.4dBi in 5GHz.
