Product features

• Ceiling-mount design blends into environments
  Different from traditional business routers, the slick smoke detector ceiling-mount design of ZyXEL NWA5120 series provides better coverage and performance. The NWA5120 series is a PoE AP with a multifunction design that solves all problems by offering internal as well as external antennas to enhance wireless performance and to eliminate coverage dead spots. Moreover, the signal outputs have been fine-tuned to provide easy RF planning and excellent signal coverage especially for hospitality and education environments. The ZyXEL NWA5120 series has been made of non-toxic materials without hazardous emission - the safe design makes it more suitable for public indoor wireless deployments.
• Effortless conversion from standalone to centrally-managed
  The ZyXEL NWA5120 series unified APs can be configured as a fully functional standalone AP and also capable to work with wireless LAN controller to form a robust controller-based WLAN solution with centralized management when Wi-Fi demand grows, as well as auto AP provisioning over both LAN and WAN connections. After being installed and powered on, the APs automatically look for the wireless LAN controller and establish connections. Utilizing the CAPWAP protocol, connections can be established between the controller and APs without needing to change the existing LAN infrastructure.
• Ultra-fast Gigabit Wi-Fi experience
  Featuring the advanced 802.11ac standard, the NWA5123-AC not only provides high data rates, but also optimizes signal with its advanced antenna design to amazing user experience through a higher number of parallel video data streams for minimized latency on the network. Additionally, the concurrent dual-band support is perfect for high-density applications such as hospitality, education and business.
• Streamlined deployments for optimized WLAN experience
  The NWA5120 series features APFlexTM to simplify managed/standalone AP mode configuration to integrate with network environments automatically and to eliminate the need for pre-install preparations. To deliver optimized wireless experience for users, the NWA5120 series features Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS), Load Balancing and Smart Client Steering. Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS) avoids interference from co-channel and channel overlapping at initialization, while Load Balancing enables administrators to set limits on the number of clients associated with each AP. Furthermore, Smart Client steering features Band Select, Signal Threshold and Band Balancing for stable, reliable wireless connections. Band Select and Signal Threshold monitor the capabilities of each wireless client and steer them to the less-congested band and the AP with better signal. These advanced functions ensure the NWA5120 series to provide a smooth, consistent and uninterrupted wireless access experience.
