ANAHEIM, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2016) - Today, ZyXEL announced the company has added two new products to its 11AC series: The WAC6103D-I 11AC Dual Band Access Point (AP) and the NWA5123-AC Unified Access Point . The WAC6103D-I boasts the industry's slimmest form factor, and is the first AP optimized for mounting on ceilings and walls without compromising wireless performance. The NWA5123-AC is a 2-in-1 standalone / managed AP capable of ultra fast gigabit Wi-Fi speeds and speedy deployment.
"The WAC6103D-I and NWA5123-AC allow users to take advantage of 802.11AC performance and increase device association capacity in any given coverage area. This gives channel partners a powerful and cost effective solution for upgrading existing 11g or 11n deployments to the latest technology," says Matt Dargis, vice president for channel business for Americas at ZyXEL. "The flexibility that comes with these access points makes it easier for partners to manage and deploy."
Equipped with a dual-optimized antenna, the WAC6103D-I adjusts antenna settings to optimize signal coverage for the deployment scenario. Qualified as a 3-stream 802.11AC Wi-Fi AP, the WAC6103D-I can achieve a combined data rate of up to 1.75 Gbps and is proven to give up to five times better performance than competitor's products in the same market segment. Its simple and low profile appearance allows the WAC6103D-I to easily blend in any modern office, hotel, classroom or cafe. The WAC6103D-I joins ZyXEL's award-winning line of 11AC series, which includes the WAC6503D-S that was recently named a CRN® Test Center winner in the SMB networking category.
