- EAN4897098685235
- Works with any 802.11ax, 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b or 802.11a client device including laptops, phones, tablets and IoT devices.
- Compatible with 802.3at PoE switches and injectors; also supports 12 V DC adapter (sold separately).
- Integrates with Omada SDN controllers (hardware, software or cloud-based) for centralized management, or operates in standalone mode.
- 160 MHz channel width on 5 GHz is subject to regional regulatory restrictions and may not be available in all countries.
- WiFi 6 features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO and 1024-QAM require client devices that also support these 802.11ax features.
Best for
- Medium to large office environments and campuses needing reliable coverage across multiple zones.
- Venues requiring guest network access with customizable portals, SMS login and marketing pages.
- IT teams managing multiple access points from a single cloud dashboard without on-site controllers.
- Spaces where ceiling or wall mounting is preferred and compact form factor is important.
- Deployments where PoE power simplifies cable runs and eliminates separate AC outlets.
Trade-offs
- Ultra-high density environments: supports 250+ concurrent clients, which may be insufficient for very large gatherings.
- Installations requiring external antenna options; this model features internal omnidirectional antennas only.
- Budget-conscious deployments where PoE infrastructure does not already exist and adding it increases total cost.

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. ‡Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including OFDMA, MU-MIMO, and 1024-QAM requires clients to also support the corresponding features. The 160 MHz bandwidth is only available on 5 GHz band and may be unavailable in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions. *Coverage value is calculated based on laboratory testing. Actual coverage is not guaranteed and will vary as a result of client limitations and environmental factors. §Omada Mesh, Seamless Roaming, Captive Portal
