ZyXEL Smart Antenna technology is a groundbreaking feature of the WAC6500 Series of wireless APs that solves the coverage problem by adaptively adjusting antenna patterns to fit a variety of wireless environments. The Smart Antenna's industry-leading RF output power and sensitivity combine to offer greater coverage and performance over traditional networks, making ZyXEL's WAC6500 Series the ultimate one-to-one AP upgrade choice.
Features:
11ac access point with Smart Antenna enhances your Wi-Fi environment
The WAC6500 series delivers industry-leading Wi-Fi performance with its innovative smart antenna design, offering more than 700 optimized signal patterns. The ZyXEL smart antenna continuously calculates the ideal physical-layer path for each individual client. This feature not only provides the best possible signal by shaping to various patterns, it also mitigates interference from other wireless clients.
1:1 Migration from 802.11n to 11ac
Many enterprises face a dilemma when migrating from 802.11n to 11ac — while 5GHz offers higher transfer speeds, its shorter wavelength can hampers coverage. The WAC6500 series’ smart antenna allows users to migrate from wireless n to wireless ac without reconfiguring or adding additional APs to a network. The smart antenna dynamically adjusts wireless patterns, doubling performance with stronger signals to increase sensitivity and improve interference resistance.
Perfect choice of high-density environments
Designed with smart antenna, the WAC6500 series provides dynamic signal patterns to deliver best service to every client. In addition, advanced Wi-Fi features such as load balancing and smart-client steering ensure a smooth, consistent, and uninterrupted wireless access experience for all users.
Easy to deploy in multiple-AP environments
WAC6500 series is extraordinarily easy to install with the ZyXEL APFlex™ feature. While deploying large groups of WAC6500 series with AP controllers in place, APFlex™ enables streamline and hassle-free installation, simple switching between Managed/Standalone AP modes and automatic integration of APs into the network environment. When operating, DCS (dynamic channel selection) balances the AP channels to reduce signal interference.
Smart Antenna continuously applies a unique algorithm to compute the best physical-layer path for every individual client. It not only considers best signal, but also mitigates RF interference on over 700 optimized antenna patterns. The "switch-beam" technique mitigating RF interference runs at the physical layer, requiring no effort on the part of the end-user. The adaptive antenna design handles a variety of tough deployments, including high-capacity, high-performance and interference-laden environments like conference rooms, airports, classrooms and other crowded venues.
APFlex includes Zero-touch AP mode changing and Automatic IP configuration. The Zero-touch AP mode setting detects if there is an existing ZyXEL controller and chooses stand-alone or managed mode. The Automatic IP configuration removes manual configuration, allowing the AP to set itself to fixed or dynamic IP address automatically. With these two intelligent features, IT administrators can skip the two critical settings that were handled manually on legacy products, shifting focus to more critical configuration tasks.
The Layer-2 isolation protects private networks among client users, allowing users to access their shared devices without entering the rest of a private network for enhanced security. In addition, the intra-BSS blocking prevents different Wi-Fi clients associated with the same AP from seeing each other and each others data.
To streamline the management process, the WAC6500 Series comes with the ZyXEL One Network (ZON) utility, allowing administrators to assign IP addresses to multiple APs through just one platform. Administrators can avoid the hassle logging into each AP to change the default IP addresses before physical installation.
While deploying a number of APs, repetitive configuration of each unit takes time and effort. ZyXEL AP Configurator (ZAC) builds templates that allows users to copy one profile to several APs, allowing batch firmware upgrades and profile backups in three easy steps to significantly reduce configuration time and effort.
ZyXEL Wireless Optimizer (ZWO) provides a powerful tool for centralized management covering initial planning, adjustment during deployment and after-sale maintenance of an AP network. Architects can simulate AP deployment on a map displaying the number of APs needed. During deployment, ZWO will also map actual signal coverage for architects to adjust their AP locations or configurations. After-sale, network administrators can access key performance details from ZWO, including channel in use, transmit retry rate and frame error rate, as well as the devices on the environment map. ZWO's user-friendly presentation saves time and facilitates quick response to the network problems.
Wireless Mesh is an array of access points automatically forming dynamic wireless links. Built on this foundation of mesh networking, ZyMesh is ZyXEL's proprietary protocol for creating wireless mesh links for easy configuration, optimized management and enhanced reliability.
