Introduction

EWS 4x4 managed APs are great performance, evenly

coverage and long-range Dual-Band Wireless 802.11

ac/a/b/g/n Outdoor Access Point with speeds up to 800

Mbps on 2.4GHz and 1733Mbps on 5GHz bands. It can be

congured as an: Managed mode or Stand-alone mode.

These APs are designed to operate in a variety of indoor

or outdoor environments. Its high-powered, long-range

characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to

ordinary Access Points that don’t have the range and reach

to connect to a growing number of wireless users who

wish to connect to a business network. The AP supports

the 2.4GHz frequency band under 802.11 b/g/n mode

whileatthesametimeproviding5GHzbandunder802.11

ac/a/n mode for communicating to and from 5GHz capable

computers,tabletsorsmartphonesortransferringles.

To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions,

the device offers different encryption settings for wireless

transmissions, including industry standard WPA and WPA2

encryption.ThedevicealsoincludesMACaddressltering

to allow network administrators to offer network access

only to known computers and other devices based on their

MAC addresses.
