Zyxel NWA5123-ACHD-EU0101F

NWA5123-ACHD Wave 2 Standalone or Controller AP, Dual Radio 802.11ac 3x3 (1.6Gbps) MU-MIMO Business Wireless Access Point, 16x SSID, 2x GbE LAN ports, PoE

The Zyxel NWA5123-AC HD is a Wave 2 dual-radio 3x3 MU-MIMO Unified Access Point with a combined data rate of up to 1.6Gbps. Thanks to its superior hardware design with next generation beamforming technology and advanced noise suppression, the NWA5123-AC HD delivers increased coverage and improved connection speeds for every client. The high-performance NWA5123-AC HD is future-proof for the ever-growing mobility demands in high-density environments such as campuses and hotels.

MU-MIMO, New Definition of Wi-Fi

Stepping up from 802.11ac, the second generation Wave 2 technology introduces Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO). This is an important WiFi development that enables an AP to communicate with multiple clients at a time offering 300% performance for a 3x3 AP.

Next Generation Transmit Beamforming benefits overall networking

Transmit Beamforming (TxBF) technology is another key to implement reliable high-density Wi-Fi connection. It increases overall network transmission data rates, which benefits not only MU-MIMO clients but also all existing clients.

Built for Superior performance

The NWA5123-AC HD is built with a high-efficiency antenna module, premium power amplifiers and low-noise elements delivering superior wireless performance over other Wave 2 access points on the market.

Optimized wireless experience with advanced features

To provide outstanding performance in crowded environment, NWA5123-AC HD features 3G/4G interference immunity, excellent receive sensitivity and DCS, which enlarge its service coverage for more clients and better quality of connection.

Unified access point- Fits all businesses

Stay standalone mode if you’re a start-up, needing just few APs, convert to controller-managed mode when business grows up, requiring hundreds of APs. 802.11n/ac premium features
