4ipnet EAP706 is an enterprise-grade, concurrent dual-band 802.11ac indoor access point,
designed specifically for office buildings, dormitories, and hotels. With two additional RJ45 ports, the EAP706 replaces existing Ethernet outlets by adding Wi-Fi capability without
sacrificing wired connectivity. Furthermore, the compact size extremely affordable price
range of the EAP706 allow network administrators to utilize small coverage cells for
maximum wireless performance
Featuring two 2x2 MIMO radios that can support up to 300 and 867 Mbps data rates in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands respectively, the EAP706 is ideal for providing wire-like performance. Traffic prioritization ensures that bandwidth hungry applications such as HD videos can stream perfectly, while strict QoS requirements can be enforced for VoIP and mission critical services. The EAP706's layer 2 firewall can also prevent unnecessary network packets from entering the wireless medium, keeping the medium free for data transmission and optimizing overall network throughput.
The EAP706’s pearl white plastic housing is elegant and flexible to deploy. The simplistic yet classy design is perfect for blending into everyday working or living environments. Furthermore, Furthermore, the four external, dual-band antennas are adjustable and removable, allowing wireless coverage to be optimized for each deployment scenario. Combined with PoE (Power over Ethernet) support that eliminates the need for traditional power sources, the EAP706 offers an unparalleled deployment flexibility.
When used with the 4ipnet WHG Controller, the EAP706 supports a wide-array of value added applications required by enterprises and organizations, such as bandwidth control, user authentication, centralized WLAN management, and much more. Along with stringent yet customizable security policies, the flexible and fully-featured EAP706 becomes the ideal choice for all types of businesses, from small coffee shops to large hotels and resorts.
Converged Wireless & Wired Connectivity
The EAP706 uniquely combines wireless and wired connectivity by providing two additional wired Ethernet ports for supporting an ever increasing assortment of IP-based devices, such as VoIP phones, network printers, or IPTVs. Not only do the ports provide wired access, but they also reduce the cost of deployment and maintenance by eliminating the need for running additional Ethernet cabling.
Very High Throughput
The demand for 802.11ac is growing tremendously as enterprises and organizations seek to increase bandwidth and alleviate network congestion. With wider channel widths and more advanced modulation techniques, the 11ac-enabled EAP706 provides data rates significantly higher than that of 802.11n access points. Furthermore, each device can transmit the same amount of data in a much shorter period of time, improving overall network capacity and performance while ensuring smooth operation of sensitive network applications.
Maximum Deployment Flexibility
Supporting 802.3af PoE, the EAP706 can be deployed without traditional power cables and outlets, reducing the total cost of ownership for an organization's wireless network infrastructure. When RJ-45 connectors are not available or inconvenient, Ethernet cables can be directly connected to the EAP706 through its alternate 110 punch-down block. Moreover, the EAP706's RJ-45 pass-through port provides additional connectivity for IP-based devices, further enhancing deployment flexibility.
Enterprise-grade, Standards-based Security
With 802.1X authentication and a backend RADIUS server, the EAP706 can prevent unauthorized users from accessing the corporate intranet. Furthermore, the AP can be configured with multiple SSIDs, each utilizing different security standards (e.g. WPA2- Enterprise) and VLAN tags, which enables easy network segmentation to protect corporate resources.
