Ultra-high-speed, Wave 2 MU-MIMO All-in-One Manageable Dual-band Wi-Fi Solution for Hotel Industry

PLANET WDAP-W1200E 1200Mbps Wave 2 Dual Band 802.11ac Wireless AP supports central management through PLANET NMS controllers. With IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO 2T2R dual-band technology, the WDAP-W1200E provides a maximum wireless speed of 867Mbps at 5GHz and 300Mbps at 2.4GHz. WDAP-W1200E conforms to the standard 86-type electrical junction box and supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE. It is suitable for in-wall installation enabling to integrate the hotel network with its all-in-one interface. The WDAP-W1200E also provides stable 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals simultaneously that make access to internet viable in regard to whatever nature of work you are into.

Benefits of MU-MIMO under 802.11ac Wave 2

With the MU-MIMO Wave 2 technology, the WDAP-W1200E, installed in public areas such as hotspots, airports and conferences, reduces the frustration that Wi-Fi users often experience in downloading web pages, e-mail file attachments and media contents. For cellular operators, the WDAP-W1200E provides a better Wi-Fi user experience, reducing the likelihood of users turning off Wi-Fi and putting more load on the cellular network. For enterprises, this technology also can solve Wi-Fi congestion issues in open work spaces and conference rooms.

Powerful Dual-band WLAN Solution

PLANET WDAP-W1200E, adopting the IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 standard, provides a high-speed transmission of power and data, meaning two remote nodes in the 5GHz frequency band can be bridged. The 2.4GHz wireless connection can also be used simultaneously. Furthermore, the WDAP-W1200E adopts the high-class Qualcomm Atheros SoC (System-on-a-Chip), which provides higher stability to meet the stringent requirements of the solution.

Easy Deployment with PLANET AP Controller

To expand the capability of in-wall AP, PLANET WDAP-W1200E comes with centralized management, enabling the hospitality industry to deploy multiple APs with a single interface of AP controller and reducing repetitive tasks including AP provisioning, AP status monitoring and AP maintenance. In addition, by connecting with PLANET AP controller, PLANET WDAP-W1200E helps hoteliers optimize their wireless network within minutes.

Suitable for Any Room Installation without Spoiling Interior Design

Featuring attractive in-wall design, the WDAP-W1200E can be firmly installed into the wall via the standard 86 x 86 mm European outlet box, which makes electrical wiring invisible and convenient for room installation without affecting the original interior design. It is ideal for hotels, residences, hospitals and more to establish any kind of wireless network.

Comprehensive Wireless Operation Modes

The WDAP-W1200E supports multiple wireless communication connectivities such as AP, Gateway, WISP, Repeater [Point-to-Point (PtP), Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP)] and Super WDS, allowing users to comprehensively experience various applications.

Basic Features Worth Mentioning

There are LED indicators showing LAN1, LAN2, WAN (in Gateway and WISP modes) and SYS (power) statuses when the cover of the WDAP-W1200E is removed. Along the indicators is the reset button for rebooting to the factory default mode. On the back of the unit are  two Ethernet ports used for one IPTV and one desktop PC, and one RJ11 port used for one digital phone. 

Simultaneous Dual Band Wireless Connectivity

Since there are more and more wireless applications and electrical devices using the radio frequency of 2.4GHz, the wireless channel of 2.4GHz has been already too crowded for clients to enjoy the high-speed wireless connection. In order to avoid the wireless interference between each other, PLANET WDAP-W1200E provides users with the radio frequency of 5GHz for watching HD videos or playing online games. At the same time, it enables other users to surf the Internet via the original radio frequency of 2.4GHz.

In-wall Design Ideal for High-density Wireless Network 

The WDAP-W1200E is specifically designed for hotels, offering guests convenient wireless LAN service. With the standard 86 type electrical outlet box installed and PLANET AP controller supported, you don’t need to spend extra time and cost to deploy the wireless network. Its compact and all-in-one interface adapted to the room can match any decor and makes wiring invisible. The WDAP-W1200E brings convenience to system administrators or machine operators as it comes with centralized management characteristic and comprehensive operation modes to fulfill any application at hotels and residences. No expensive instruments or complex back-end subscriber managed systems are required for deployment.

Fast 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 Fast 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-W1200E features in-wall design, and advanced 2T2R Wave 2 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-W1200E helps to minimize the effort of installation, thus reducing cabling cost.
