l  Gigabit optical port multiplexing

The WA2600-726-PTE outdoor AP provides up to two gigabit Ethernet ports and one gigabit SFP port for multiplexing, which can adapt to different customer's wired network link forms on site. It supports the SFP optical port to undertake data transmission. The Ethernet uplink port is used for the power taking of the PoE adapter. The networking is more flexible and convenient.

l  High Performance Wi-Fi6 Access Point

The device supports dual-band concurrent 2.4GHz and 5GHz and supports Wi-Fi6 (802.11ax) standard protocol. It adopts 1024QAM modulation mode. The 5GHz band supports 2 spatial streams with a maximum negotiated rate of 1.2Gbps. 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 1.8Gbps. 

It also integrates MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies to subdivide the wireless channel into more sub channels, 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  Support 802.11k/v protocols for enhanced Wi-Fi roaming

The WA2600-726-PTE 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, WA2600-726-PTE supports 802.1x authentication, MAC authentication, WEB authentication and other authentication methods to ensure network security.

It supports Multiple SSID technology, WA2600-726-PTE 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 blacklists, whitelists 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

WA2600-726-PTE provides a portable design with a single arm handle and installation to ensure that the construction personnel always have one hand holding the ladder during ladder construction, avoiding device falling or even personal injury in operations with high risks such as arm clips and hugging. 

WA2600-726-PTE can be automatically discovered by Maipu WNC6600 Series 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

WA2600-726-PTE 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.
