Ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi 6 Wireless LAN Solution
PLANET WDAP-C3000AX 3000Mbps Dual Band 802.11ax Wireless AP, supporting Wi-Fi MESH, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, Seamless Roaming, Beamforming and BSS Coloring technology, provides a maximum wireless speed of 2400Mbps in the 5GHz band and 600Mbps in the 2.4GHz band. The maximum number of client users is up to 256, ensuring more secure and robust connectivity with the adoption of Wi-Fi 6 technology.
Benefits of MU-MIMO, OFDMA, Seamless Roaming, Beamforming and BSS Coloring
The WDAP-C3000AX 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 0 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. Beamforming is to improve your Wi-Fi signal when you are far away from your router. The BSS color is a numerical identifier of the BSS. 802.11ax radios are able to differentiate between BSSs using BSS color identifier when other radios transmit on the same channel.
These technologies also can solve Wi-Fi congestion issues in open work spaces and conference rooms. The WDAP-C3000AX can offer more powerful throughput coverage of up to 256 client users.
OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) Benefits
Beamforming
Beamforming is to improve your Wi-Fi signal when you are far away from your router. When you use beamforming, Wi-Fi beamforming narrows the focus of that router signal, sending it directly to your devices in a straight line, thus minimizing surrounding signal interference and increasing the strength of the signal that ultimately bring you the following benefits:
BSS Coloring
The BSS color is a numerical identifier of the BSS. 802.11ax radios that are able to differentiate between BSSs using BSS color identifier when other radios transmit on the same channel. If the color is the same, this is considered to be an intra-BSS frame transmission. In other words, the transmitting radio belongs to the same BSS as the receiver. If the detected frame has a different BSS color from its own, then the STA considers that frame as an inter-BSS frame from an overlapping BSS.
WPA3 Next Generation Security for Your WLAN Solution
WPA3 is the next generation Wi-Fi security technology that provides the most advanced security protocol to the market. WPA3 makes your connection more secure by preventing hackers from easily cracking your password no matter how simplified the password is. WPA3 can also provide more reliable password-based authentication, so it can better protect the security of individual users.
* WDAP-C3000AX only supports WPA3-Personal.
Super Power Dual band WLAN Solution
PLANET WDAP-C3000AX, adopting the IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 standard, provides a high-speed transmission. The maximum wireless speed in 2.4GHz band is up to 11AX of 574Mbps, and in the 5GHz band is up to 11AX of 2402Mbps. Both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless connections can also be used simultaneously.
Advanced Security and Rigorous Authentication
The WDAP-C3000AX supports WPA/WPA2/WPA3 wireless encryptions, and also supports the WPA2 Enterprise, and WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, 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.
Multiple Operation Modes for Various Applications
The WDAP-C3000AX supports the simplified usage modes of AP, Gateway and Repeater, through which they provide more flexibility for users when wireless network is established. Compared with general wireless access points, the WDAP-C3000AX offers more powerful and flexible capability for wireless clients.
Optimized Efficiency in AP Management with Cloud and NMS system
Via the PLANET CloudViewerPro app, you can monitor and control Access Points in real time without a specified location and time limitation. The brand-new GUI configuration wizard helps the system administrator easily set up the WDAP-C3000AX step by step. Besides, the built-in Wi-Fi analyzer provides real-time channel utilization to prevent channel overlapping to assure greater performance. With the automatic transmission power mechanism, distance control and scheduling reboot setting, the WDAP-C3000AX is easy for the administrator to deploy and manage without on-site maintenance. Moreover, you can use PLANET NMS-500 or NMS-1000V AP control function to deliver wireless profiles to multiple APs simultaneously, thus making the central management simple.
Mesh Wi-Fi for More Hassle-free Network
The WDAP-C3000AX boasts support for 802.11s Mesh technology, an open standard wireless networking solution that takes Wi-Fi coverage and stability to the next level. It enables seamless collaboration between various router and Wi-Fi device brands, creating a unified and efficient network experience.
Mesh technology leverages multiple frequency bands, enabling fast roaming and intelligent network management, resulting in top-notch performance. Setting up a Mesh network is a breeze, thanks to its user-friendly installation process and automated configuration. This ensures that users can enjoy extended Wi-Fi coverage and a consistently reliable connection across their homes or workplaces.
In summary, Mesh technology is the go-to solution for those seeking to enhance their Wi-Fi coverage without the headache of complex network setups. It's a convenient and effective way to achieve a seamless and robust wireless network.
Extreme High Speed and Wi-Fi 6 Technology Make Wireless Transmission More Powerful
The WDAP-C3000AX delivers the dual-band and more bandwidth to avoid signal interference and ensure the best Wi-Fi performance. It allows you to check e-mails and surf the Internet via the 2.4GHz band and simultaneously watch full high-definition (HD) video or any other multimedia application via one 5GHz band. Besides, many client users can be connected to Wi-Fi at the same time. The maximum number of client users is up to 256. Moreover, the Gigabit Ethernet port of the WDAP-C3000AX offers ultra-fast wired connections that utilize the maximum wireless bandwidth; therefore, users will experience a fast wireless speed of over 700Mbps. With the outstanding stability of high-speed wireless transmission, the WDAP-C3000AX can provide users with excellent experience in multimedia streaming with your mobile devices anywhere, anytime.
Mesh Wi-Fi and Seamless Roaming for Better Coverage
Moving between a traditional Wi-Fi AP or router and range extender, your Wi-Fi signal can experience lag or a dropped connection. Mesh Wi-Fi comes with four features, including Seamless Roaming, Band Steering, Self-Healing, and Client Steering. A set of packages usually includes three to four APs. Each AP is an independent router. When the main AP functions, other APs are used as satellite APs. The whole system can provide Wi-Fi network connection with zero dead angle, meaning a large area is covered.
Its characteristic is not like the traditional star-shaped or tree-shaped network structure which can only communicate with the upper and lower access points, but each access point can connect and communicate with each other, and at the same time, it can automatically find the best path for transmitting packets. This enables your networking environment to get full coverage and efficient performance.
