ELECOM Managed Wi-Fi 7 18700Mbps Standard Model Wireless Access Point

This Wi-Fi 7-compatible wireless access point for businesses offers tri-band connectivity across the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequency bands. This not only delivers high-speed, low-latency communications, but also allows for smooth connections for up to 768 devices (256 on each band). Its "Equal Transmission" feature minimizes discrepancies in video playback and data download times between connected devices, ensuring stable communications even when multiple devices are connected simultaneously, whether in the office or classroom.
Wi-Fi 7 achieves a transfer rate approximately 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6/6E, and is expected to reduce video and audio disturbances caused by transmission delays and signal fluctuations. This will enable deployment in scenarios that require real-time performance, which was difficult to achieve with previous wireless LANs.
This product supports simultaneous communication on 2.4GHz/1376Mbps, 5GHz/5765Mbps, and 6GHz/11530Mbps, with a maximum speed of 18671Mbps (maximum wireless speed specified).
With tri-band support, it is equipped with built-in antennas for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz, allowing simultaneous communication on all frequency bands with four streams.
Wi-Fi 7 doubles the maximum bandwidth from 160MHz to 320MHz and expands the modulation method from 1024QAM to 4096QAM, enabling faster communication speeds than previous Wi-Fi 6 products.
Support for MLO (Multi-Link Operation) enables simultaneous data transmission and reception by bundling up to three frequencies, achieving high-speed, low-latency data communication. This helps to improve latency in online meetings in the office and eliminate communication processing discrepancies during classes in schools.
Multi-RU (Multi-Resource Unit) support allows communication with a client device to be managed in units of RU (resource unit), but now multiple RUs can be allocated to a single client device. When sending large files or in situations where high-speed communication is required, temporarily available RUs can be used, helping to improve communication efficiency.
Preamble puncturing allows communication on uninterfered channels, eliminating interfering signals and nearby wireless networks. This allows for the creation of a stable, low-latency, high-speed communication environment without changing the existing wireless environment.
*To use Wi-Fi 7 communication features such as MLO, Multi-RU, and preamble puncturing, the connected device must also support the same functions.
It is equipped with one multi-gigabit LAN port that supports 10Gbps and one that supports 2.5Gbps, supporting connection to high-speed communication networks.
*10Gbps port supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE (PoE++) power reception
It supports IEEE 802.3bt PoE (PoE++) power reception, so it can be installed even in places where there is no nearby power source.In addition, it comes with ceiling mounting brackets as standard, so it can be installed in various places such as on a ceiling or wall.
*When receiving PoE power, be sure to use a power supply device that supports IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++). [Manufacturer's compatible product model number: EIB-X01A-BT6 (PoE injector)]
*This product does not come with an AC adapter as standard. Please use the optional AC adapter (WAB-EX-ADP1).
It can simultaneously connect up to 768 wireless devices (256 devices in 2.4GHz, 256 devices in 5GHz, and 256 devices in 6GHz), enabling efficient network environments for large-scale applications. It is ideal for use in large offices with many employees, hotels and cafes that offer guest Wi-Fi, hospitals and university campuses that connect a variety of devices, and manufacturing plants and warehouses that connect IoT devices and mobile devices.
*Recommended: 384 units (2.4GHz: 128 units, 5GHz: 128 units, 6GHz: 128 units)
The "equal communication function" equalizes communication time for each device, reducing communication processing wait times when playing videos or downloading data when multiple devices are connected simultaneously. In an ICT education environment where each student has their own device, this eliminates the difference in communication processing time between devices, supporting the smooth progress of classes.
It comes equipped with the unified disaster SSID "00000JAPAN (Five Zero Japan)," which provides a smooth communication environment for your smartphone, tablet, or PC in the event of a large-scale disaster.
The DFS interference avoidance function ensures stable wireless communication even when using the 5GHz DFS band, ensuring smooth and stable communication in educational settings, factories, and other locations. The 2.4GHz band also features interference avoidance, constantly monitoring signals from devices other than Wi-Fi, such as microwave ovens. The optimal channel is determined periodically with high accuracy.
Supports the stronger security standard WPA3. WPA3-Personal strengthens security without requiring you to worry about connecting via Wi-Fi. WPA3-Enterprise, in combination with a Radius (authentication) server, can prevent unauthorized devices from connecting.
Equipped with a "multi-SSID function" that can provide multiple SSIDs. By setting different SSIDs within the office, you can divide the network by department. Furthermore, by using the "guest Wi-Fi function" in combination, you can easily and safely provide a network for visitors.
WDS support allows wireless access points to connect and communicate with each other, making it possible to cover a wide area without laying a wired network.
*WDS communication using a combination of different model numbers is not supported. Please make sure to have two or more devices with the same model number.
It is heat resistant up to 50°C, making it suitable for use in high temperature environments such as schools and factories in the summer.
In addition to the Web UI, it also supports device management via SNMP, SSH (*) and console (*). You can select the management method that best suits your current management method. *Support will be available at a later date.
Compatible with the remote management service "Admin Link," which significantly reduces the time and cost of operating equipment. Admin Link is a remote management service that connects (Link) equipment installed in remote locations with administrators via the Internet. By enabling equipment monitoring and simple maintenance operations from remote locations, it reduces the effort required for equipment maintenance and management, significantly reducing the burden on equipment administrators.
It is compatible with WAB-MAT, an access point management tool for businesses that enables easy and low-cost device management. It can simultaneously configure multiple access points, reducing the amount of management work required when deploying multiple devices. It also features health monitoring and log management, allowing for quick response to any problems that may occur. (The WAB-MAT management tool is paid software with a 30-day free trial.)
The warranty period is a reassuring 3-year warranty (with send-back maintenance). Furthermore, send-back maintenance will be extended by 2 years (for a total of 5 years) exclusively for registered users. (The 2-year extended warranty provided through user registration is provided by ELECOM Support & Service Co., Ltd. (ESSC).)
We also offer paid delivery maintenance (1 year/3 years/5 years) and send-back maintenance (1 year/2 year extension).You can use it for business use for a long period of time with peace of mind.
