Centralized management
The LAPAC2600C Access Point allows centralized management via Cloud Manager to reduce the cost and complexity of managing multiple wireless access points. By enabling you to establish and manage all of your access points from an easy to use dashboard and a single pane of glass, this feature greatly streamlines administration and can save hours of technical labor.
By providing alerts and real-time statistics, Cloud Manager helps network administrators anticipate potential network issues without the need for on-site monitoring and troubleshooting. You can also use Cloud Manager to configure multiple access points simultaneously and centralize management of network security policies.
MU-MIMO technology dramatically boosts network throughput
The LAPAC2600C Access Point uses MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology to ensure multiple simultaneous connections. MU-MIMO provides a dedicated data stream for each connected client, so your employees won't have to compete with one another for bandwidth. Multiple users will be able to simultaneously engage in video conferencing, download large files, and perform other data-intensive tasks with minimal or no latency on their devices.
AC WiFi connectivity delivers robust wireless performance
The LAPAC2600C Access Point leverages the latest Wireless-AC technology to ensure faster WiFi speeds and increased productivity for your entire office. The wireless access point features dual wireless bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and delivers combined speeds of up to 2.53 Gbps* to support high-bandwidth activities such as video conferencing and cloud storage syncing.
Captive portal for secure guest access
Control and customize guest WiFi access with captive portal. The portal routes users to a special web page for authentication before they are allowed to access the Internet. Ideal for cafés, lobbies, and other WiFi hotspots, this feature helps protect both your guests and your business from unwanted access.
POE+ for streamlined installation
Thanks to its PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) capabilities, the LAPAC2600C Wireless Access Point can draw both power and data from a single Ethernet cable. There is no need for a separate power adapter or nearby electrical outlet: simply connect the LAPAC2600C to a PoE+-enabled switch or PoE injector, and the access point can function using just one Ethernet cable.
Advanced wireless security protects your data
To ensure that your company's data is secure, the LAPAC2600C Wireless-AC Access Point is equipped with an array of business-class security features. The wireless access point gives your business full control over access rights with WPA2 Pre-shared Key, WPA2 Enterprise and Captive Portal Authentication. Rogue AP Detection helps administrators identify authorized access points across the network, while MAC address filtering provides an additional layer of protection.
Next-Generation Wi-Fi Connectivity
Allows multiple clients to transmit data simultaneously, improving performance and productivity in high density wireless environments. Features 4x4 Dual-Band (2.4+5GHz) AC delivering combined speeds of up to 2.53Gbps for faster, more robust wireless performance.
Seamless Roaming
Supports 802.11r and 802.11k standards, enabling 802.11r-enabled client devices to roam between access point with minimal dropped packets, enabling uninterrupted VoIP calls or video calls (such as Facetime).
Clustering (Single Point Control)
Clustering helps to reduce the costs and complexity of managing multiple wireless access points simultaneously simplifying administration and management.
Captive Portal
Secure and customized guest Wi-Fi access. The captive portal is also used at many Wi-Fi hotspots to control wireless access in the area.
Flexible Deployment
Can be deployed as a typical access point, as a wireless distribution system (WDS), or as a workgroup bridge to extend your wireless range coverage.
Easy to Use with PoE+
Integrated with 802.3at PoE+ capability to eliminate extra power adapters and offer optimal placement. It also provides an intuitive Web administrative interface, easy to set up and easy to use.
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports with Link Aggregation
The 4x4 11AC radio is backed by Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with Link Aggregation for a combined backhaul capacity of 2 Gbps, enabling maximum utilization of the 11AC radio.
Advanced Security Over Wireless
Protects and secures your wireless network with business class security features including Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2), 802.1X Supplicant Authentication, MAC and IP-Based ACL, Rogue AP Detection, SSID-to-VLAN Mapping, Wireless Scheduler, and more.
