DAP-X2850 - Wireless Access Point
Model Number:
- DAP-X2850
Key Specifications:
-
Wireless Standard:
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) support, the latest and fastest Wi-Fi standard, offering improved speed, greater capacity, and better efficiency, especially in high-density environments.
-
Wi-Fi Speeds:
- Up to 5.4 Gbps combined (1.2 Gbps on 2.4 GHz and 4.8 Gbps on 5 GHz), providing ultra-fast wireless performance for bandwidth-heavy applications like 4K streaming, gaming, and large file transfers.
-
Dual-Band Wireless:
- Operates on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, allowing for flexibility and reduced interference. The 5 GHz band provides faster speeds, while the 2.4 GHz band offers better range.
-
OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access):
- Supports OFDMA, enabling efficient use of the wireless spectrum by allowing multiple devices to transmit data simultaneously, reducing latency and increasing capacity in high-density environments.
-
MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output):
- Supports MU-MIMO, which allows the access point to communicate with multiple devices at the same time, further improving overall network efficiency and reducing congestion.
-
Power over Ethernet (PoE):
- PoE (802.3af/at) support allows the device to be powered through the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by removing the need for a separate power source.
-
Security Features:
- Supports the latest WPA3 encryption standard for enhanced security.
- Also supports WPA2 and WPA3 encryption for robust network protection.
- 802.1X support for RADIUS-based authentication and more secure network access control.
-
Advanced Quality of Service (QoS):
- Ensures that high-priority traffic, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receives bandwidth priority, improving performance for latency-sensitive applications.
-
Management Options:
- Managed via a web-based interface for easy configuration.
- D-Link Nuclias Cloud Management for centralized, cloud-based monitoring and management of multiple access points, ideal for large deployments.
- D-Link Centralized Wireless Management (DWMS) for enterprise-level control over your network infrastructure.
-
High-Gain Antennas:
- Equipped with high-gain external antennas for extended wireless coverage, improving the signal strength in large or multi-floor environments.
-
Seamless Roaming:
- Supports seamless roaming, ensuring that devices remain connected to the strongest signal as users move around, making it ideal for mobile devices and environments with high user mobility.
-
Flexible Mounting Options:
- Can be ceiling or wall-mounted, allowing for versatile placement to optimize coverage in different environments (e.g., offices, retail spaces, warehouses).
-
Backward Compatibility:
- Fully backward compatible with 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) devices, ensuring that older devices can still connect while taking advantage of Wi-Fi 6 improvements.
Use Cases:
- Enterprise Networks: Ideal for large office spaces, schools, hospitals, and high-density environments where fast, reliable, and secure wireless connectivity is essential.
- High-Density Environments: Perfect for venues with a large number of simultaneous wireless clients (e.g., conferences, auditoriums, public spaces).
- Business and Retail Networks: Suitable for creating reliable Wi-Fi networks in areas with many users and high data throughput demands.
- Smart Office Setups: Perfect for offices that require seamless device connectivity, high-speed internet access, and advanced security features.
