Overview
Enterprise-class 11ac with dual-optimized antenna
802.11ac Dual Radio Dual-optimized Antenna 3x3 Access Point
The WAC6103D-I is a high-performance 802.11ac three-stream access point offering combined data transfer rates up to 1.75Gbps with a dual-optimized antenna. The adjustable antenna provides superior performance in both ceiling- and wall-mounted deployments. User-friendly features allow for adjustment of antenna patterns via either physical switch or GUI in just seconds. No prior professional knowledge of antenna accessory selection or signal coverage fine-tuning is necessary.
Ultra-slim design blends with modern interiors
The WAC6103D-I expresses stylish functionality through its optimized radiating platform, delivering exceptional performance in only 1.26 inches height (32mm). The WAC6103D-I perfectly blends into any modern office, hotel, classroom, or café.
Perfect choice of medium to high-density environments
Designed with dual-optimized antenna, the WAC6103D-I provides switchable signal patterns to reduce inter-floor interference. 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
WAC6103D-I is extraordinarily easy to install with the ZyXEL APFlex™ feature. While deploying large groups of WAC6103D-I 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.
Features
Dual-optimized antenna
Ground-breaking dual-optimized antenna adjusts for perfect signal patterns in both wall- and ceiling-mount installations. Efficiently focus on user area and mitigates inter-floor interference.
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).
WPA2 enterprise certified
WAC6103D-I features with industrial strength WPA2 enterprise protection and supports a wide range of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) types. It can be seamlessly integrated with deployed corporate RADIUS servers.
Wireless layer-2 isolation
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 other’s data.
ZyMesh
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.
ZyXEL AP Configurator
While deploying a number of APs, repetitive configuration of each unit takes time and effort. ZyXEL AP Configurator (ZAC) builds templates that allow 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
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.
