Zyxel NWA5123-NI Standalone & Controller

Solving the WLAN Problems of Tomorrow, Today
The ZyXEL NWA5120 Series 802.11 a/b/g/n Unified Access Pointis a highly future-proof WLAN solution perfect for growingbusiness, hospitality and education environments. With a 2-in-1standalone/managed AP design, users can initially use it as astandalone AP, and convert it to a controller-managed AP whenWi-Fi demand grows. The Series is designed with industry-leadingtechnology to provide trouble-free wireless quality to lower IToverhead. The embedded antennas and signal output are fine-tunedto provide easy RF planning and maximum signal coverage. It alsosupports such features as dynamic channel selection, loadbalancing and pre-authentication for seamless roaming and asuperb Wi-Fi experience.
Ceiling-mount design blends into environments
Different from traditional business routers, the slick “smokedetector” ceiling-mount design of ZyXEL NWA5120 Seriesprovides better coverage and performance. The NWA5120 Series is aPoE AP with a multifunction design that solves all problems byoffering internal as well as external antennas to enhancewireless performance and to eliminate coverage dead spots.Moreover, the signal outputs have been fine-tuned to provide easyRF planning and excellent signal coverage especially forhospitality and education environments.The ZyXEL NWA5120 Series has been designed with plenum rating andmade of non-toxic materials without hazardous emission – thesafe design makes it more suitable for public indoor wirelessdeployments.
Effortless conversion from standalone to centrally-managed
The ZyXEL NWA5120 Series Unified APs can be configured as afully functional standalone AP and also capable to work withWireless LAN Controller to form a robust controller-based WLANsolution with centralized management when Wi-Fi demand grows, aswell as auto AP provisioning over both LAN and WAN connections.After being installed and powered on, the APs automatically lookfor the Wireless LAN Controller and establish connections.Utilizing the CAPWAP protocol, connections can be establishedbetween the controller and APs without needing to change theexisting LAN infrastructure.
Easy to RF planning with the same 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signalcoverage (NWA5123-NI)
As more and more mobile or laptop devices support both 2.4 GHzand 5 GHz bands, users can choose 5 GHz as the first priority fordefault searching and balance heavy network loading with the 2.4GHz band, besides, to have always on and stable connection becomeone of the essential elements of Wi-Fi network. The ZyXEL NWA5123-NI 802.11 a/b/g/n Dual-Radio Unified APconsists of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band radio to match theconcurrent Wi-Fi services with either frequency.The higher frequency of the 5 GHz band provides a shorter signalrange compared to the 2.4 GHz band with the same transmit outputpower. The NWA5123-NI consist of high 5 GHz transmit output powercan boost the 5 GHz signal range, providing signal coverage equalto the 2.4 GHz wireless network. Therefore, the complexity ofdeployment can be considerably reduced.
Continuous wireless services for better reliability andnetwork quality
The ZyXEL NWA5120 Series 802.11n PoE AP featurescoverage-enhancing 11n technologies such as TX Beamforming, LDPCand MLD to eliminate issues of dead spots and inefficientcoverage. With MLD, the NWA5120 Series boosts the Signal-to-NoiseRatio (SNR) to 3 dB for more stable wireless services and betterperformance. Meanwhile, TX Beamforming also eliminates dead spotsby expanding the coverage with continuous, dynamic changing ofsignal phases. With non-stop wireless services, the NWA5120Series provides reliable network connectivity for better businessproductivity.
