Ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi 6 Wireless LAN Solution

PLANET’s WDAP-3000AX is a high-performance Dual Band 802.11ax Wireless Access Point (AP) designed to deliver blazing-fast Wi-Fi speeds and advanced features. With support for Wi-Fi Mesh, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, Seamless Roaming, Beamforming, and BSS Coloring technology, this AP ensures a seamless and efficient wireless experience.

In the 5GHz band, it offers an impressive maximum wireless speed of 2400Mbps, while in the 2.4GHz band, it provides 600Mbps of speed. This dual-band capability ensures reliable connectivity for various devices.

One of the standout features of the WDAP-3000AX is its rugged build. Encased in an IP67-rated aluminum case, it’s safeguarded against dust and water, making it suitable for deployment in harsh outdoor environments. Additionally, the flexible N-type connectors allow system integrators to easily set up high-gain antennas for long-distance outdoor applications, even in rough weather conditions.

To enhance product durability further, the WDAP-3000AX includes 20KV surge protection for wired cable interfaces, safeguarding against electrical surges and ensuring stable operation.

With support for up to 256 client users, this AP is well-suited for high-density environments, providing secure and robust connectivity. Its adoption of Wi-Fi 6 technology ensures optimal performance and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for businesses and organizations that demand top-tier wireless capabilities.

Benefits of MU-MIMO, OFDMA, Seamless Roaming, Beamforming and BSS Coloring

The WDAP-3000AX can be installed in public areas such as hotspots, airports and conferences as OFDMA, a multi-user version of OFDM, enables the concurrent AP to communicate (uplink and downlink) with multiple clients by assigning subsets of subcarriers called resource units (RUs) to the 0 clients. With MU-MIMO and Seamless Roaming technologies, it provides a better Wi-Fi user experience, reducing the likelihood of users turning off Wi-Fi and putting more load on the cellular network. Beamforming is to improve your Wi-Fi signal when you are far away from your router. The BSS color is a numerical identifier of the BSS. 802.11ax radios are able to differentiate between BSSs using BSS color identifier when other radios transmit on the same channel.

These technologies also can solve Wi-Fi congestion issues in open work spaces and conference rooms. The WDAP-3000AX can offer more powerful throughput coverage of up to 256 client users.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) Benefits

• Helps transmit small and large packets together to reduce bandwidth burden and improve data transmission performance
• Transmitting data at the same time can effectively reduce the transmission delay for longer frame and low-speed transmission.
• Improves the overall traffic quality, and effectively uses bandwidth in an environment where multiple people use the Internet.
• Increases the number of devices that can be connected to the AP.
• Reduces the power consumption of the device by way of the use of low bandwidth. 

Beamforming 

Beamforming is to improve your Wi-Fi signal when you are far away from your router. When you use beamforming, Wi-Fi beamforming narrows the focus of that router signal, sending it directly to your devices in a straight line, thus minimizing surrounding signal interference and increasing the strength of the signal that ultimately bring you the following benefits:

• Extend your Wi-Fi coverage
• Deliver a more stable Wi-Fi connection
• Deliver better Wi-Fi throughput
• Reduce router interference

 BSS Coloring

The BSS color is a numerical identifier of the BSS. 802.11ax radios are able to differentiate between BSSs using BSS color identifier when other radios transmit on the same channel. If the color is the same, this is considered to be an intra-BSS frame transmission. In other words, the transmitting radio belongs to the same BSS as the receiver. If the detected frame has a different BSS color from its own, then the STA considers that frame as an inter-BSS frame from an overlapping BSS.

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.

* WDAP-3000AX only supports WPA3-Personal. 

 Super Power Dual band WLAN Solution

PLANET WDAP-3000AX, adopting the IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 standard, provides a high-speed transmission. The maximum wireless speed in 2.4GHz band is up to 11AX of 574Mbps, and in the 5GHz band is up to 11AX of 2402Mbps. Both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless connections can also be used simultaneously.  

 Advanced Security and Rigorous Authentication 

The WDAP-3000AX supports WPA/WPA2/WPA3 wireless encryptions, and also supports the WPA2 Enterprise, WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, 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.

Flexible, Durable and Reliable Outdoor Characteristics

To reach maximum reliability in the harsh environment, the WDAP-3000AX comes with IP67-rated Aluminum Die-cast Housing, capable of withstanding wide temperature ranging from -40 to 70 degrees C. The WDAP-3000AX includes 20KV surge protection for wired cable interfaces, safeguarding against electrical surges and ensuring stable operation. Designed with the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) power scheme, the WDAP-3000AX can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. Furthermore, it is also suitable to be integrated with PLANET Renewable Power PoE System to offer farther wireless service in remote areas. 

Multiple Operation Modes for Various Applications

The WDAP-3000AX supports the simplified usage modes of AP, Gateway, Repeater and WISP mode, through which they provide more flexibility for users when wireless network is established. Compared with general wireless access points, the WDAP-3000AX offers more powerful and flexible capability for wireless clients. 

Mesh Wi-Fi for More Hassle-free Network

The WDAP-3000AX boasts support for 802.11s Mesh technology, an open standard wireless networking solution that takes Wi-Fi coverage and stability to the next level. It enables seamless collaboration between various router and Wi-Fi device brands, creating a unified and efficient network experience.
