WatchGuard AP420 IEEE 802.11ac 1.70 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - WGA42723

The AP420 offers fast speeds to support those latency-sensitive services like voice, video, and data downloads over Wi-F and comes with a 4x4 MU-MIMO dual radio to connect a crowded room full of devices simultaneously. This AP also offers dual concurrent 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz band radios supporting 802.11a/n/ac Wave 2, 802.11b/g/n, 4 spatial streams, and data rates of up to 1.7 Gbps and 800 Mbps, respectively. With a 3rd MIMO dual band radio for dedicated WIPS and RF optimization (available with Wi-Fi Cloud license) you don't have to sacrifice performance for security. Ideal for tradeshows, auditoriums, meeting rooms, and shopping malls. A Firebox or XTM appliance is not required for AP420 units managed by the Wi-Fi Cloud.

• Wave 2 chipset offers the latest MU-MIMO technology to serve today's toughest high-density environments
• Band steering manages spectrum efficiency, pushing clients to 5GHz channels for optimal throughput
• Flexible management options enable users to manage AP420 access points with either a Firebox®, via the Gateway Wireless Controller with lightweight feature set, or with WatchGuard's Wi-Fi Cloud.
• "Smart steering automatically pushes clients with low speeds to a closer access point"
• Third 2x2 MIMO dual band radio used as a dedicated WIPS sensor for 24x7x365 security and performance scanning
• AP420 continues to scan for wireless threats and enforces security policy even if the connection with the Wi-Fi Cloud is interrupted
