Product description
The Araknis AN-520 Wireless Access Point brings the latest in Wi-Fi technology to the Araknis lineup! Wi-Fi 6 offers support for OFDMA, MU-MIMO, 1024 QAM, 160MHz Channel Bandwidth and BSS Coloring to help support higher network capacity and enhanced reliability. The AN-520 features 2 x 2 antenna design supporting peak data rates of up to 3000Mbps at 160MHz Channel bandwidth and a 2.5Gbps LAN port-in to offer support for multi-gig jobs.
Important Note: Mixing Araknis Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 Series Access Points on the same job will impact performance and is not recommended. Fast roaming between Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 devices is not supported.
A Fast & Efficient Wi-Fi Network
Wi-Fi 6 is the new standard for increased speed, coverage, and capacity. Installing a Wi-Fi 6 access point in your networks can also extend the battery life of Wi-Fi 6-connected devices.
The AN-520's 2 x 2 antenna provides a more powerful connection for more devices, making sure your network won't sacrifice speed for size.
Powerful & Reliable Performance
We’re placing greater demand on the network than ever before. Wi-Fi 6 utilizes OFDMA ( orthogonal frequency-division multiple access ) to tackle high-density environments by allowing simultaneous communication between multiple devices. This technology helps optimize bandwidth, thereby reducing congestion and improving speeds.
Multi-Gig Port
The 2.5GbE Ethernet ensures the backhaul will not be a bottleneck for full use of available Wi-Fi capacity and helps futureproof your networks for applications such as VR/AR.
*Note: The 2.5GbE port is backward compatible with 100/1000Mbps Ethernet.
Pro-Friendly Features
Create multiple SSID's and customize each to meet specific network requirements such as enabling/disabling Fast Roaming, Band Steering, or Wi-Fi 6 compatibility per SSID. This ensures the best Wi-Fi experience and provides tools necessary to support older IoT devices without impacting the main network.
This AP also offers DFS ( Dynamic Frequency Selection ) channel support to increase the number of Wi-Fi channels when available and WPA3 mode to offer latest security.
