EnGenius EWS870AP
4×4 MU-MIMO Dual-Band 802.11ac Wave 2 Outdoor Managed Access Point

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.
