Features:

Next-Generation Wi-Fi

The Neutron Series AX Access Points take advantage of 11ax technology, which enables more efficient channel use, reduces latency between AP and client devices, and provides ground-breaking features, such as uplink and downlink of OFDMA, Target Wake Time, uplink and downlink of MU-MIMO, BSS Coloring, spatial reuse, and preamble updates.

• OFDMA (in both uplink and downlink): enables more efficient channel use, reduces latency between AP and client devices, and provides backward-compatibility with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• 1024 QAM: boosts throughput by 25% and provides greater reliability in short distances
• BSS coloring: tags packets with a “color” to differentiate between adjacent basic service sets to potentially help minimize co-channel interference (CCI)
• Spatial reuse: identifies the different “colors” via BSS coloring and simultaneously transmits on the same channel, which reduces waiting time and lessens contention; determines whether the transmission will be deferred or reused on the channel
• Uplink & downlink of MU-MIMO: supports up to eight client devices and provides greater network efficiency, focuses radio energy on specific users, and ensures optimal signal and reception reliability
• Target Wake Time (TWT): reduces power consumption, schedules wake times, and extends client battery life of mobile and IoT devices
• Longer OFDM symbols: enables shorter wait times between data transmissions and tolerates more noise, which allows greater coverage

Flexibility in Deployment

Neutron’s new 11ax line of high-performance, managed, indoor ceiling- and wall-mount access points consists of 2x2 11ax dual-band for general use and a 4x4 dual-band 11ax version for high-capacity use that are ready to immediately deploy. Configure APs individually as stand-alone units, locally manage up to 50 per Neutron switch or use ezMaster software to control 1,000+ APs.

Optimize Connectivity With Wireless Mesh on Selected Models

Utilize mesh access point mode on Neutron APs for retrofit or new install applications where wire runs are not possible. Mesh’s smart sensing technology adds devices quickly, optimizes routes between APs, and automatically self-heals the network in the event an AP should ever lose connection.

The Latest in Wi-Fi Security

With the Neutron 11ax (WiFi 6) access points, your network is protected by WPA3, which delivers next-generation wireless security by making connecting client and IoT devices more secure and easier, as well as WPA2-AES. The high level of security expected and demanded by enterprises now protects SMBs as well.

Secure Guest Networks

Organizations that offer Internet access to patrons or visitors—notably hotels, retail shops and restaurants— will appreciate Neutron’s guest network capabilities. Establish a secure guest network that blocks access to main corporate computers. Create separate Virtual LANs for increased security, network reliability, and bandwidth conservation.

Power-over-Ethernet Convenience

All Neutron 11ax access points support 1 and 2.5 Gigabit PoE ports, enabling placement in discreet locations where power outlets are scarce or unavailable. Power the access points through a connected Ethernet cable directly to a Neutron Managed Gigabit PoE+ switch or with a PoE adapter up to 328 feet from the power source.

Simplified Deployment & Provisioning

In combination with Neutron Switches and ezMaster Network Management Software, Neutron 11ax APs are automatically discovered and provisioned. One-click individual or bulk configurations and upgrades save time. In addition, these access points are quickly and easily deployed and operated by users with limited networking experience.

Manage Up to 50 APs with Neutron Switches

In small settings, any Neutron Managed Switch can act as a wireless controller capable of managing up to 50 Neutron EWS Access Points. IT administrators have access to all connected Neutron devices and a full array of Layer 2 management tools. Choose between 8-, 24-, and 48-Port PoE+ switch models with flexible deployment and management options.
