WatchGuard WGA42701 wireless access point 1700 Mbit/s White Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Highlights

AP420 Indoor Access Point AP420, a new 802.11ac Wave 2 AP which provides lightning-fast speeds capable of supporting throughput-intensive and latency-sensitive applications like VoIP, video, music, and large data file transfers over Wi-Fi. It also includes a 4×4 Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) dual radio that offers high client-density support to help eliminate Wi-Fi connection delays, and a 3rd radio for dedicated WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System) and RF optimization scanning. Best for tradeshow floors, auditoriums, meeting rooms, and shopping malls. When managed with the Wi-Fi Cloud, you can unlock the full potential of your WatchGuard access points with powerful WIPS security, real-time business-driven analytics, and powerful engagement and marketing tools. Multi-User MIMO Your Wi-Fi will show no signs of slowing down with a 4×4 MU-MIMO – allowing many devices to access the Wi-Fi simultaneously. This significantly decreases the time each device must wait for a signal and dramatically speeds up your network. Considering a typical small to midsize business (SMB) has at least 50+ devices including smartphones, tablets, and laptops, it’s vital to be able to connect multiple devices to Wi-Fi at the same time (smartphones, laptops, tablets), plus to be able to download and stream music, videos, and VoIP. Dedicated 3rd 2×2 MIMO Dual Band Radio The AP420 access point comes equiped with a dedicated 3rd 2×2 MIMO dual band radio for dedicated RF optimization scanning and Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) when Wi-Fi Cloud is enabled, so you don’t have to sacrifice performance for security. Integration with Google for Education Bringing secure Wi-Fi authentication to K-12 classrooms, Google for Education is a collection of applications and services allowing students and teachers to engage anytime, anywhere, on any device – securely, ensuring that only devices registered in the school’s Google domain can connect to the school Wi-Fi network and network access policies are enforced. This unique integration brings even more control, usability and ease-of-use to school districts. The access point must be Wi-Fi Cloud-enabled.
