It delivers dual-band speeds up to 1350 Mbps with MU-MIMO technology to serve 220+ clients across a single coverage area, and integrates with TP-Link's Omada SDN platform for cloud-based or local network control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMU-MIMO for simultaneous multi-device service\u003c\/strong\u003e — Unlike standard access points that handle one device at a time per band, MU-MIMO lets this device talk to multiple clients at once, reducing congestion and latency in busy networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible power: PoE or passive PoE included\u003c\/strong\u003e — It runs on standard 802.3af PoE or 24V passive PoE, and ships with an adapter. That means deployment from a PoE switch, a standard injector, or the included adapter—no extra hardware required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOmada SDN integration for centralized management\u003c\/strong\u003e — Control multiple access points and network devices from a single cloud or on-premises dashboard. One interface manages setup, firmware, client roaming, and Wi-Fi scheduling across your whole site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand steering and beamforming for better coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Band steering automatically pushes dual-band devices to the faster 5 GHz band. Beamforming concentrates the signal toward connected clients rather than broadcasting in all directions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCeiling-mount design with included hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e — Mounts flat to a ceiling or wall with brackets in the box.
