Planet WDAP-C1800AX

details: Dual Band 802.11ax 1800Mbps Ceiling-mount Wireless Access Point
hardware type: Wireless Access Point

PLANET WDAP-C1800AX 1800Mbps Dual Band 802.11ax Wireless AP, supporting MU-MIMO, Wave 2.0, OFDMA and Seamless Roaming technology, provides a maximum wireless speed of 1200Mbps in the 5GHz band and 600Mbps in the 2.4GHz band.

The maximum number of client users is up to 250, ensuring more secure and robust connectivity with the adoption of Wi-Fi 6 technology.

The WDAP-C1800AX can be installed in public areas such as hotspots, airports and conferences as OFDMA, a multi-user version of OFDM, enables the concurrent AP to communicate (uplink and downlink) with multiple clients by assigning subsets of subcarriers called resource units (RUs) to the individual clients.

With MU-MIMO and Seamless Roaming technologies, it provides a better Wi-Fi user experience, reducing the likelihood of users turning off Wi-Fi and putting more load on the cellular network. These technologies also can solve Wi-Fi congestion issues in open work spaces and conference rooms. The WDAP-C1800AX can offer coverage of up to 250 client users.

The WDAP-C1800AX supports WPA/WPA2PSK-TKIPAES, and WPA3PSK-TKIPAES wireless encryptions, and also supports the WPA2/WPA3PSK-TKIPAES at the same time, which can effectively prevent eavesdropping by unauthorized users or bandwidth occupied by unauthenticated wireless access. Furthermore, any users are granted or denied access to the wireless LAN network based on the ACL (Access Control List) that the administrator pre-established. For management purposes, the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN supported allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple SSIDs to distinguish the wireless access.

The WDAP-C1800AX supports the simplified usage modes of AP, Gateway and Repeater, through which they provide more flexibility for users when wireless network is established.

With the standard IEEE802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) design, the WDAP-C1800AX can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. By supporting the standard IEEE 802.3at PoE PD power scheme, the WDAP-C1800AX can be powered and networked by a single UTP cable, effectively eliminating the needs of dedicated electrical outlets on the ceiling and reducing the cabling cost. Furthermore, the system administrator is able to arrange the PoE schedule of the WDAP-C1800AX by working with the managed PoE switch.
