The FAP-224E is a new member of our 802.11ac Wave 2 family with MU-MIMO capability and transmit beam forming capable of handling an astounding 512 clients per radio. This high-performance dual-band AP is ruggedized with an Ingress Protection IP67-rated enclosure capable of withstanding extended temperature ranges. The FAP-224E is suitable for deployment in the harsh conditions. It has 4 internal antennas for WiFi and one Bluetooth and also provides SFP cage to allow for long-distance fiber connectivity and is suitable for mission-critical bridging or mesh deployments.
Provides administrators with Application Visibility to prioritize applications to improve the user experience by guaranteeing more capacity to select groups, such as mission-critical applications or mobile point-of-sale (mPoS) devices.
Provides sophisticated air traffic control mechanisms to govern station airtime so every client gets a fair turn on-air, which prevents the slowest, or the fastest, devices from hogging resources.
Unique technology that manages spectrum utilization to overcome the interference-related deployment barriers commonly encountered in high density environments.
