The AX821 puts dual-band Wi-Fi 6 at up to 1800 Mbps into a weather-resistant, industrial-grade enclosure that runs on PoE or a DC adapter.
The AX821 is listed as PM-WANI certified-ready, so it fits public Wi-Fi networks run by PDOs. NetCloud Central manages every hotspot from one console.
Dual power lets the AX821 run from a DC adapter where PoE cabling is impractical. The weather-resistant enclosure suits rooftop or pole mounting in open areas.
One outdoor unit can extend coverage across open ground between buildings. Roaming lets users carry a session from the indoor network to the outdoor area.
Choosing between models? For classrooms, offices and other indoor spaces, the Lotus Alpha AX820 uses the same 1800 Mbps Wi-Fi 6 radio with 360° omnidirectional coverage and PoE/PoE+ power. To power a cluster of units from one point, the NetForce L2 E822 offers 8 PoE+ ports and 2 SFP uplinks.
