WDAP-C7210E

1200Mbps 802.11ac Wave2 MU-MIMO Dual Band Ceiling-mount Wireless Access Point

Ultra-high-speed, Wave 2 MU-MIMO Wireless LAN Solution

PLANET WDAP-C7210E 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-C7210E provides a maximum wireless speed of 867Mbps at 5GHz and 300Mbps at 2.4GHz. The new version of the WDAP-C7210E  not only has more powerful performance but also supports PLANET CloudViewer app for remotely monitoring devices from anywhere.

Benefits of MU-MIMO under 802.11ac Wave 2

With the MU-MIMO Wave 2 technology, the WDAP-C7210E, 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-C7210E 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-C7210E, 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-C7210E adopts the high-class Qualcomm Atheros SoC (System-on-a-Chip), which provides higher stability to meet the stringent requirements of the solution.

Enhanced Security and Rigorous Authentication 

The WDAP-C7210E supports WPA / WPA2, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPS3-PSK wireless encryptions, the advanced WPA2-AES mechanism and 802.1X RADIUS authentication, which can effectively prevent eavesdropping by unauthorized users or bandwidth occupied by unauthenticated wireless access. Furthermore, any users are granted or denied access to the wireless LAN network based on the ACL (Access Control List) that the administrator pre-established. For management purposes, the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN supported allows multiple VLAN tags to be mapped to multiple SSIDs to distinguish the wireless access.

Multiple Operation Modes for Various Applications

The WDAP-C7210E supports AP, Gateway and Repeater mode, through which it provides more flexibility for users when wireless network is established. Compared with general wireless access points, the WDAP-C7210E offers more powerful and flexible capability for wireless clients. 

WPA3 Next Generation Security for Your WLAN Solution

WPA3 is the next generation Wi-Fi security technology that provides the most advanced security protocol to the market. WPA3 makes your connection more secure by preventing hackers from easily cracking your password no matter how simplified the password is. WPA3 can also provide more reliable password-based authentication, so it can better protect the security of individual users.

Ceiling-mount Design for Your Environment

With the standard IEEE802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) design, the WDAP-C7210E can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. By supporting the standard IEEE 802.3at PoE PD power scheme, the WDAP-C7210E can be powered and networked by a single UTP cable, effectively eliminating the needs of dedicated electrical outlets on the ceiling and reducing the cabling cost. Furthermore, the system administrator is able to arrange the PoE schedule of the WDAP-C7210E by working with the managed PoE switch. 

Optimized Efficiency in AP Management 

The brand-new GUI configuration wizard helps the system administrator easily set up the WDAP-C7210E step by step. Besides, the built-in Wi-Fi analyzer provides real-time channel utilization to prevent channel overlapping to assure greater performance. With the automatic transmission power mechanism, distance control and scheduled reboot setting, the WDAP-C7210E is easy for the administrator to deploy and manage without on-site maintenance. Moreover, you can use PLANET NMS controller series, WS switch series, VR series, ICG-2515 router series, and AP control function to deliver wireless profiles to multiple APs simultaneously, thus making the central management simple.

*Note: The WDAP-C7210E and WDAP-C7210E (V2) are two different devices. Please make sure the model is right before setting it with NMS equipment. Check the model name from the label to make sure that the firmware is upgraded on the right version of the AP.
