Planet Wi-Fi 6 1800Mbps 802.11ax Dual Band Ceiling-mount Wireless Access Point,  802.3at PoE PD, 2 10/100/1000T LAN, 802.1Q VLAN

Ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi 6 Wireless LAN Solution

PLANET WDAP-C1800AX 1800Mbps Dual Band 802.11ax Wireless AP, supporting MU-MIMO, Wave 2.0, OFDMA and Seamless Roaming technology, provides a maximum wireless speed of 1200Mbps in the 5GHz band and 600Mbps in the 2.4GHz band. The maximum number of client users is up to 250, ensuring more secure and robust connectivity with the adoption of Wi-Fi 6 technology.

Benefits of MU-MIMO, Wave 2, OFDMA and Seamless Roaming

The WDAP-C1800AX can be installed in public areas such as hotspots, airports and conferences as OFDMA, a multi-user version of OFDM, enables the concurrent AP to communicate (uplink and downlink) with multiple clients by assigning subsets of subcarriers called resource units (RUs) to the individual clients. With MU-MIMO and Seamless Roaming technologies, it provides a better Wi-Fi user experience, reducing the likelihood of users turning off Wi-Fi and putting more load on the cellular network. These technologies also can solve Wi-Fi congestion issues in open work spaces and conference rooms. The WDAP-C1800AX can offer more powerful throughput coverage of up to 250 client users.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) Benefits

• Helps transmit small and large packets together to reduce bandwidth burden and improve data transmission performance
• Transmitting data at the same time can effectively reduce the transmission delay for longer frame and low-speed transmission.
• Improves the overall traffic quality, and effectively uses bandwidth in an environment where multiple people use the Internet.
• Increases the number of devices that can be connected to the AP.
• Reduces the power consumption of the device by way of the use of low bandwidth.

WPA3 Next Generation Security for Your WLAN Solution

WPA3 is the next generation Wi-Fi security technology that provides the most advanced security protocol to the market. WPA3 makes your connection more secure by preventing hackers from easily cracking your password no matter how simplified the password is. WPA3 can also provide more reliable password-based authentication, so it can better protect the security of individual users.

*WDAP-C1800AX only supports WPA3-Personal.

Super Power Dual band WLAN Solution

PLANET WDAP-C1800AX, adopting the IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 standard, provides a high-speed transmission. The maximum wireless speed in 2.4GHz band is up to 11AXG_GHE40 of 574Mbps, and in the 5GHz band is up to 11AXA_AHE80 of 1201Mbps. Both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless connections can also be used simultaneously. Furthermore, the WDAP-C1800AX adopts the high-class Qualcomm Atheros SoC (System-on-a-Chip), which provides higher stability to meet the stringent requirements of the solution.

Advanced Security and Rigorous Authentication 

The WDAP-C1800AX supports WPA/WPA2PSK-TKIPAES, and WPA3PSK-TKIPAES wireless encryptions, and also supports the WPA2/WPA3PSK-TKIPAES at the same time, which can effectively prevent eavesdropping by unauthorized users or bandwidth occupied by unauthenticated wireless access. Furthermore, any users are granted or denied access to the wireless LAN network based on the ACL (Access Control List) that the administrator pre-established. For management purposes, the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN supported allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple SSIDs to distinguish the wireless access.

Multiple Operation Modes for Various Applications

The WDAP-C1800AX supports the simplified usage modes of AP, Gateway and Repeater, through which they provide more flexibility for users when wireless network is established. Compared with general wireless access points, the WDAP-C1800AX offers more powerful and flexible capability for wireless clients. 

*In repeater mode, WPA3 encryption is not supported. 

Ceiling-mount Design for Your Environment

With the standard IEEE802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) design, the WDAP-C1800AX can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. By supporting the standard IEEE 802.3at PoE PD power scheme, the WDAP-C1800AX can be powered and networked by a single UTP cable, effectively eliminating the needs of dedicated electrical outlets on the ceiling and reducing the cabling cost. Furthermore, the system administrator is able to arrange the PoE schedule of the WDAP-C1800AX by working with the managed PoE switch. 

Optimized Efficiency in AP Management 

The brand-new GUI configuration wizard helps the system administrator easily set up the WDAP-C1800AX step by step. Besides, the built-in Wi-Fi analyzer provides real-time channel utilization to prevent channel overlapping to assure greater performance. With the automatic transmission power mechanism, distance control and scheduling reboot setting, the WDAP-C1800AX is easy for the administrator to deploy and manage without on-site maintenance.

Extreme High Speed and Wi-Fi 6 Technology Make Wireless Transmission More Powerful

The WDAP-C1800AX delivers the dual band and more bandwidth to avoid signal interference and ensure the best Wi-Fi performance. It allows you to check e-mails and surf the Internet via the 2.4GHz band and simultaneously watch full high-definition (HD) video or any other multimedia application via one 5GHz band. Besides, many client users can be connected to Wi-Fi at the same time. The maximum number of client users is up to 250. Moreover, the Gigabit Ethernet port of the WDAP-C1800AX offers ultra-fast wired connections that utilize the maximum wireless bandwidth; therefore, users will experience a fast wireless speed of over 650Mbps. With the outstanding stability of high-speed wireless transmission, the WDAP-C1800AX can provide users with excellent experience in multimedia streaming with your mobile devices anywhere, anytime.

Seamless Roaming and Better Coverage

Moving between a traditional Wi-Fi AP or router and range extender, your Wi-Fi signal can experience lag or a dropped connection. With Seamless Roaming and intuitive technology, moving from room to room is never a problem now that your devices are switched to the strongest Wi-Fi signal automatically. The WDAP-W1800AX features advanced 2T2R MU-MIMO technology which reduces the effect of dead spot, so that it can get better coverage of the existing wireless network. Furthermore, the repeater mode supported by the WDAP-W1800AX helps to minimize the effort of installation, thus reducing cabling cost.
