l  High Performance Wi-Fi6 Access Point

AP26-42R-10AP-IN-3Y supports triple-band concurrent 2.4GHz, 5.2GHz and 5.8GHZ, and also supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard protocol. It adopts 1024QAM modulation mode. The 5GHz band supports 4 spatial streams with a maximum negotiated rate of 4.8Gbps. The 2.4GHz band supports 2 spatial streams with a maximum negotiated rate of 0.6Gbps. The total wireless access rate of the device can reach 5.4Gbps.

It also integrates MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies to subdivide the wireless channel into more subchannels, enabling simultaneous communication with multiple terminal devices. When multiple users access the internet at the same time, the user experience is significantly improved. It supports BSS Color spatial reuse function to color and use different mechanisms to process the basic service set, reducing interference, improving channel utilization, and achieving effects such as intelligent load balancing and 5G priority. It improves the 5G band utilization and increases the total number of devices.

l  Intelligent Forwarding Strategy

It supports centralized forwarding and local forwarding functions. According to business scenarios, intelligent forwarding strategies can be configured. By cooperating with Maipu Wireless Controller, the data forwarding mode of AP26-42R-10AP-IN-3Y can be flexibly configured. When configured as centralized forwarding, data packets are sent from the wireless access device to the wireless controller for unified forwarding.

It supports flexible configuration based on SSID or user VLAN. When configured as local forwarding mode, data packets can bypass the wireless controller and be directly converted into wired format packets for forwarding over the wired network, greatly relieving the traffic pressure of the wireless controller and releasing port bandwidth capabilities to reduce network bandwidth costs and overall improve network utilization.

l  Support 802.11k/v protocols for enhanced WiFi roaming

The AP26-42R-10AP-IN-3Y supports intelligent fast roaming technology, significantly improving user experience when mobile clients move between APs. By optimizing the switching process between APs and utilizing techniques like PMK Caching, it ensures seamless mobility and smooth roaming. This enhancement is crucial for maintaining service continuity and reliability, especially for latency-sensitive applications running over the WLAN.

Compared to basic roaming solutions, this fast roaming technology provides quicker AP switching, reduced packet loss, and a smoother experience for roaming clients. This is essential for mobility-enabled WLAN applications.

l  Comprehensive Security Protection

Together with the Maipu independently developed wireless controller, AP26-42R-10AP-IN-3Y supports 802.1x authentication, MAC authentication, WEB authentication and other authentication methods to ensure network security.

It supports Multiple SSID technology, AP26-42R-10AP-IN-3Y supports up to 16*SSIDs, the administrator can set different passwords for each SSID divide separate VLAN IDs, and easily achieve the effect of transmitting different services on different wireless networks (SSIDs). It can implement user isolation based on VLAN to ensure the security of data services in each VLAN.

It supports Wireless Intrusion Detection/Prevention (WIDS/WIPS), supports blacklist, whitelist and other wireless user access control features to detect, identify and counteract illegal wireless devices for effective blocking. At the same time, it also supports protection against ARP, SYN, port scanning and other network attacks to comprehensively build a secure and reliable network for users.

l  Convenient Deployment and Intelligent Management

AP26-42R-10AP-IN-3Y can be automatically discovered by Maipu Wireless Controller and automatically download the configuration. The device automatically goes online with zero parameter configuration. It can be installed where wireless signal coverage is required to achieve truly flexible deployment, on-demand purchase and plug-and-play.

It can be managed by Maipu Matrix Center SNMP management system, this is a wired and wireless management platform for configuration management, topology management, fault management, performance monitoring, and upgrade management to greatly improve network operation efficiency.

l  Environmentally Friendly Design and Energy Saving

AP26-42R-10AP-IN-3Y integrates energy-saving technologies such as target wake-up time technology, MIMO power saving technology, and packet power control technology. By reducing the number of terminal wakeups, improving antenna efficiency, and integrating highly efficient power supply designs, it achieves energy saving and power saving.
