Overview:

The EWS860AP is a high-powered, long-range, 3x3 Dual Band Neutron Series Managed Wireless solution AC1750 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Outdoor Access Point that functions as a stand-alone Access Point or as part of an EnGenius Neutron Series Wireless Management solution. It features a high transmit RF power for better outdoor signal penetration.

The EWS860AP can operate as a stand-alone Access Point connecting to third-party PoE-capable switches but more control and versatile management of the Access Point is achievable when it is part of an EnGenius Neutron Series Wireless Network Management solution because the AP includes firmware that enables it to be immediately discovered, configured, monitored and managed from a compatible Neutron Series PoE+ Switch (EWS5912FP, EWS7928FP or EWS7952FP). This capability enables IT managers to deploy and manage up to 50 EWS860APs from a Neutron Series Switch allowing for simplified management from one browser-based interface including simultaneous firmware upgrades, clustering, traffic monitoring, bandwidth steering and many other features that can be reset or reconfigured from the convenience of the IT manager’s desktop.

Operating in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency spectrums and supporting 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards the EWS860AP features wireless speeds up to on its 2.4 GHz band and up to 1300 Mbps on its 5 GHz band, a Gigabit port for connecting to 802.3at-capable PoE Switches. As the EWS860AP is designed to be mounted in high locations where power outlets may be scarce, it also supports PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) IEEE 802.3at for use with an 802.3at-capable PoE injector or 802.3at-capable PoE Switches, drawing up to 34 watts of power.

To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the EWS860AP offers different industry-standard encryption settings for wireless transmissions, including WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK Mixed, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, and WPA2 Mixed Enterprise. It also includes MAC address filtering to allow network administrators to offer network access only to verified computers and devices based on their MAC addresses.

The EWS860AP is easy to install in virtually any location and its internal electronics have been mounted in an IP68-rated enclosure, one of the highest waterproof and dustproof ratings available, designed to withstand extremely harsh environmental conditions including severe and prolonged exposure to sunlight, extreme cold, frost, snow, rainfall, hail and humidity. The housing of the Access Point also has been manufactured to repel ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. These protective measures make the EWS860AP an ideal outdoor wireless solution for virtually any locale or any venue including ski and beach resorts, sports arenas, college and corporate campuses, and businesses located in snowy, rainy, and arid climates.

Optimal Performance in Harsh Environments

EnGenius’ Neutron Series line of Managed Outdoor Access Points provides wireless connectivity that’s flexible, scalable and reliable for outdoor applications. Whether you are looking to provide ultra-fast Wi-Fi access to a resort pool, campus quad, or other outdoor property, Neutron EWS Access Points meet the high-bandwidth requirements of today’s mobile users. No matter what size network you need to support, Neutron EWS Access Points are flexible enough to meet your needs. Start small and grow or go big. Deploy and manage a few or 1,000+ APs on an unlimited number of networks distributed across various locations—regardless of their size and infrastructures. Neutron Series easily scales with your networking needs.

Features:

Ultra-Fast Wave 2 11ac Speeds

EnGenius’ 11ac Wave 2 Access Points deliver the highest available speeds for Wi-Fi devices reaching 2.5 Gbps. Beamforming technology focuses signals directly to client devices, providing optimal, reliable reception even in densely crowded outdoor environments. Four spatial streams and dual-concurrent MU-MIMO radio operation sends beams to multiple users simultaneously, creating increased network capacity and performance.

Peak Performance in Harsh Environments

Designed to perform in harsh conditions, Neutron EWS Outdoor Access Points feature industrial-grade IP68 to IP55-rated enclosures, ensuring the APs can withstand extreme outdoor climates and indoor industrial environments where the temperature is a factor. This includes prolonged outdoor exposure to sunlight, extreme cold, frost, snow, rain, hail, heat and humidity

Optimized Connectivity

Neutron EWS Outdoor APs feature dual-band concurrent wireless coverage, high speeds and high-device capacities. Band Steering optimizes network traffic flow by automatically directing dual-band clients to the less congested 5 GHz band. Fast Roaming capability ensures seamless, reliable connectivity for mobile users as they move between outdoor APs.

Maximized Wi-Fi Coverage

EWS Outdoor APs are designed for peak performance in a variety of outdoor environments providing high-performance reception and long-range connections. High-transmit power reaches to 29dBm, ensuring reliable, long-range device coverage.

Protected by Advanced Encryption

With Neutron EWS APs, your network is protected from attacks at multiple levels through advanced wireless encryption standards such as Wi-Fi Protected Access Encryption and authentication. Network threats are quickly detected and avoided through rogue AP detection, email alerts and real-time wireless invasion monitoring, allowing for immediate action to divert network hacks and other security threats.

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.

Flexible Power-over-Ethernet Power Options

All Neutron EWS Outdoor Access Points feature at least one Gigabit PoE port, enabling placement in locations where power outlets are scarce or unavailable such as on poles or rooftop eaves. Power the APs through a connected Ethernet cable directly to a Neutron Managed Controller 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 EWS Outdoor 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

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 PoE+ and non-PoE switch models with flexible deployment and management options.
