EnGenius EnSky 802.11ax WiFi-6 2x2 Managed Wireless Indoor Access Point (EL-EWS357AP)
The EnGenius EL-EWS357AP features AX technology, which deepens and expands the capabilities of wireless as well as fortifies SMB networks. The new 802.11ax technology builds upon real world deployment of 11ac. As next-generation WiFi, 11ax is no longer just about speeds but also about stronger, steadier, and more efficient wireless connections.
EnGenius EL-EWS357AP Key Features
- High-capacity & high-efficient Wireless Technology
- Uplink & downlink of OFDMA for more efficient channel use
- 1024 QAM for 25% increase in throughput
- Target Wake Time (TWT) for power-saving wake times
- BSS Colouring for tagging packets with “colour” to differentiate data
- Spatial reuse for simultaneous tranmissions on same channel
- Uplink & downlink of MU-MIMO for optimal signal & reception reliability
- Operate as a stand-alone AP or centrally manage via switch
- Remotely manage 1-1000+ APs via ezMaster
- GbE PoE-compliant ports expand deployment & power options
- Low-profile designs for ceiling or wall mount
Next Generation WiFi
The EnSky Series AX Access Points take advantage of 11ax technology, which enables more efficient channel use, reduces latency between AP and client devices, and provides groundbreaking features, such as uplink and downlink of OFDMA, Target Wake Time, uplink and downlink of MU-MIMO, BSS Colouring, spatial reuse, and preamble updates.
Flexibility in Deployment
EnSky’s new 11ax line of high-performance, managed, indoor ceiling- and wall-mount access points consists of 2x2 11ax dualband for general use and a 4x4 dual-band 11ax version for highcapacity use that are ready to immediately deploy. Configure APs individually as stand-alone units, locally manage up to 50 per EWS switch or use ezMaster software to control 1000+ APs.
Optimise Connectivity With Wireless Mesh on Selected Models
Utilise mesh access point mode on EnSky APs for retrofit or new install applications where wire runs are not possible. Mesh’s smart sensing technology adds devices quickly, optimises routes between APs, and automatically self-heals the network in the event an AP should ever lose connection.
The Latest in WiFi Security
With the EnSky 11ax access points, your network is protected by WPA3*, which delivers next-generation wireless security by making connecting client and IoT devices more secure and easier, as well as WPA2-AES. The high level of security expected and demanded by enterprises now protects SMBs as well.
Secure Guest Networks
Organisations that offer Internet access to patrons or visitors - notably hotels, retail shops and restaurants - will appreciate EnSky’s guest network capabilities. Establish a secure guest network that blocks access to main corporate computers. Create separate Virtual LANs for increased security, network reliability, and bandwidth conservation.
Power-over-Ethernet Convenience
All EnSky 11ax access points support 1 or 2.5 Gigabit PoE ports, enabling placement in discreet locations where power outlets are scarce or unavailable. Power the access points through a connected Ethernet cable directly to a EWS Managed Gigabit PoE+ switch or with a PoE adapter up to 100 meter from the power source.
Simplified Deployment & Provisioning
In combination with EWS Switches and ezMaster Network Management Software, EnSky 11ax APs are automatically discovered and provisioned. One-click individual or bulk configurations and upgrades save time. In addition, these access points are quickly and easily deployed and operated by users with limited networking experience.
Manage Up to 50 APs with EWS Switches
In small settings, any EWS Managed Switch can act as a wireless controller capable of managing up to 50 EnSky Access Points. IT administrators have access to all connected EnSky devices and a full array of Layer 2 management tools. Choose between 8-, 24-, and 48-Port PoE+ switch models with flexible deployment and management options.
Simplified Device Management
ezMaster Network Management Software makes centralised device management easy. How? Through bulk configuration, provisioning and monitoring, a comprehensive at-a-glance network dashboard, rich analytics and reporting, and much more.
