Zyxel NWA3560-N Business WLAN

The N-Generation Access Point Tailor-made for Growing SMBNeeds
Ratification of IEEE 802.11n allows the technology to achievegood growth in commercial environments as it helps businesses tocope with challenges from increasingly complicated andbandwidth-hungry applications. In addition to enhancingthroughput and coverage, the IEEE 802.11n standard offers thefollowing benefits: elimination of bandwidth contention,future-proof support as well as accommodation for more users andfloor space.
To catch up the wave of 802.11n, ZyXEL introduced theenterprise-level NWA3000-N Series Access Point (AP) to meet therequirement of the new “n generation”. The new rangeprovides various AP portfolios from single radio to concurrentradio, as well as dual-frequency APs (dual-band NWA3160-N,dual-radio NWA3560-N, and dual-radio outdoor NWA3550-N). Designedto meet the requirements of SMB market segment, the NWA3000-NSeries is ideally suited for advanced service delivery onmission-critical networks.
Fast, reliable 11n technology for future-proof accessnetworks
Undoubtedly, mobility is the key to improve employeeproductivity and efficiency in all modern businesses as more andmore bandwidth-consuming Web applications and mobile devices areinvolved in daily operations today. Beyond mobility, the ratified11n technology allows faster (up to 300Mbps) data rates andbetter network reliability that supports more users toaccommodate business needs. As performance of 11n Wireless LANhas exceeded the speed of basic wired Ethernet, it turns out tobe a more cost-effective option for businesses building orexpanding access networks over investing on a large number ofwired LAN switches.
No extra cost converting standalone AP into management WLANarchitecture
The ZyXEL NWA3000-N Series is a “hybrid” AP thatacts as a standalone AP infrastructure or a centralizedmanagement structure with controller mode and managed AP. Thehybrid feature has full flexibility to deploy secure and reliableWLAN networks. In the initial phase constructing a WLAN, theNWA3000-N Series can be configured as a fully functionalstandalone AP; with more APs installed, the NWA3000-N Series canbe set to the WLAN controller mode to manage the rest of APs. Thescalability is able to manage up to 24 APs and it is alsosuitable for companies with a staff of 300-500.
Effortless deployment with PoE, auto-discovery andauto-provisioning
In order to eliminate complicated configuration andinstallation processes, the NWA3000-N Series AP provides avariety of features to allow quick network deployments. Allranges of NWA3000-N Series APs comes with standard 802.3af or802.3at PoE support that enables the APs to utilize the existingcabling and receive power from PoE switches. Once installed andpowered up, the NWA3000-N Series AP automatically discovers thecontroller AP and join the management group; and secure automaticprovisioning is established between the controller AP and themanaged APs effortlessly.
SMB networks with best security, resilience and effectivefeatures
Small and medium-sized businesses usually have tighterequipment budgets and limited IT staff. With the NWA3000-NSeries, the SMBs can take advantage of the flexibility to meetgrowing needs while building a future-proof office network. Morethan just WPA/WPA2 personal and enterprise certification, theNWA3000-N Series also features an embedded RADIUS server thatsaves expense and maintenance efforts by eliminating standaloneRADIUS servers; the NWA3000-N Series also supports device HA toprovide stable and reliable connections for non-stopproductivity. All indoor units of the NWA3000-N Series adopt LSOHmaterial for plenum spaces; in case of fire, the material wouldproduce the least amount of toxic or corrosive smoke to avoidharming people around. With all the considerate design along withbusiness AP features such as multiple SSID, the NWA3000-N SeriesAP is the smart and pragmatic choice for growing SMBs
