Overview
Introducing the new hybrid access point
802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio Ceiling Mount PoE Access Point
The Zyxel Hybrid series allows devices like the NWA1123ACv3 to be used in two modes by utilizing Zyxel’s NebulaFlexTM; you are able to easily switch between standalone and our license free Nebula cloud management platform, anytime, with a few simple clicks.
By allowing the two different modes, you are able to protect your investment in wireless technology by having the flexibility to benefit from the cloud in your own time, without the need to worry about additional ongoing licensing costs.
When used with Nebula you are able to centrally manage, access real-time network information and gain effortless control over the NWA1123ACv3 and other Hybrid and Nebula devices, all under a single intuitive platform without the need to install any software or add additional equipment like a controller.
Not ready for the cloud… Just yet?
For those of you who are not ready for the cloud, the NWA1123ACv3 offers a standalone mode, allowing you to setup each AP via its local user-friendly web interface and setup wizard. The wizard will quickly guide you through the initial setup and have your AP up and running in minutes. Additionally, you can manage and monitor the AP via traditional SNMP methods that you may have already in place. The NWA1123ACv3 is also part of the Zyxel One Network. This means that you can use the complimentary Zyxel One Network Utility to help with repetitive operations during deployment.
l NebulaFlexTM gives you the flexibility to switch between standalone and our License Free Nebula cloud management.
l Next generation beamforming technology delivers maximum coverage.
l 802.11ac 2x2 Wave 2 — supporting combined data rate of up to 1.2 Gbps.
l Advanced Cellular Coexistence minimizes interferences from 4G/5G cellular networks.
l Robust build quality including solid-state capacitors to ensure long life and operational reliability.
Features
What to benefit from Cloud central management?
When you’re ready to join the Nebula cloud management solution, simply register your NWA1123ACv3 via Nebula Control Center and the device will automatically join, auto provision and begin to give real-time information. The intuitive platform allows you to group your access points together, control centrally, gain access to diagnostics tools and additional features like captive portal all under a single platform.
The Nebula platform has no limits to how many access points can be added, giving you an easy to use, scalable platform that you can access anytime, anywhere.
RF First – high performance and reliable connections through design
With Zyxel’s innovative design and commitment to “RF First” for high performance and reliable connections through design, the NWA1123ACv3 delivers increased coverage and improved connection speeds for every client.
When designing an access point, every hardware design element including the layout and the antenna are all taken into account to ensure that we lead with user experience and gain not only in coverage but also in performance that maximizes the experience in the real world.
Wireless built for user experience
The NWA1123ACv3 ensures an optimized wireless experience for users by combining wireless technologies like Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS), Load Balancing, beanforming technology. DCS minimizes the interference of co-channel and overlapping channels, while Load Balancing enables administrators to easily set limits on the number of clients associated with each AP. The second generation transmit beamforming technology incorporating Low End Sensitivity Improvements and Time Domain Channel Smoothing allowing data rates to increase for not only MU-MIMO clients, but for all existing ones as well. These advanced functions ensure that users can enjoy a smooth, consistent and uninterrupted wireless experience.
Flexible operating modes
The NWA1123ACv3 not only offers two different styles of management via NebulaFlexTM (cloud or standalone), but also offers the ability of smart mesh in cloud and WDS in standalone to extend wireless connectivity in challenging locations by wirelessly bridging the devices together without the need to use cables.
Wireless AP Management (Advanced integration with ShareTech UTM)
ShareTech UTM can be a unified platform to control and manage deployed wireless access points. They appear in the UTM user interface, administrators can easily monitor and manage operation (functioning or malfunction), change the SSID password, uploading/downloading flow, and concurrent and history users on every AP (MAC address included).
