The Zyxel NWA5123-AC HD is a Wave 2 dual-radio 3x3 MU-MIMO Unified Access Point with a combined data rate of up to 1.6Gbps. Thanks to its superior hardware design with next generation beamforming technology and advanced noise suppression; the NWA5123-AC HD delivers increased coverage and improved connection speeds for every client. The high-performance NWA5123-AC HD is future-proof for the ever-growing mobility demands in high-density environments such as campuses and hotels.
MU-MIMO; New Definition Of Wi-Fi
Stepping up from 802.11ac; the second generation Wave 2 technology introduces Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO). This is an important WiFi development that enables an AP to communicate with multiple clients at a time offering 300% performance for a 3x3 AP.
Next Generation Transmit Beamforming Benefits Overall Networking
Transmit Beamforming (TxBF) technology is another key to implement reliable high-density Wi-Fi connection. It increases overall network transmission data rates; which benefits not only MU-MIMO clients but also all existing clients.
Built for Superior performance
The NWA5123-AC HD is built with a high-efficiency antenna module; premium power amplifiers and low-noise elements delivering superior wireless performance over other Wave 2 access points on the market.
Optimized wireless experience with advanced features
To provide outstanding performance in crowded environment; NWA5123-AC HD features 3G/4G interference immunity; excellent receive sensitivity and DCS; which enlarge its service coverage for more clients and better quality of connection.
Unified access point- Fits all businesses
Stay standalone mode if you're a start-up; needing just few APs; convert to controller-managed mode when business grows up; requiring hundreds of APs.
