Preface

Package Contents

4ipnet OWL550 Access Point is an enterprise-grade dual radio 802.11 a/b/g/n + ac Wave 2 Access Point with the best performance for business and industrial applications. Featuring two 2x2 MIMO radios, the OWL550 can simultaneously support up to 300 and 867 Mbps data rates in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands respectively. OWL550 is compliant with the latest industrial wireless security standards such as 802.1X and WiFi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) which are required in the tightly secured enterprise network environments. Furthermore, OWL550 also features multiple ESSIDs with VLAN tags and multiple Virtual APs; great for enterprise applications, such as separating traffic from different departments using different ESSIDs. As an Access Point, OWL550 supports wall mounting and poll mounting for different deployment environments. Besides OWL550’s PoE uplink port is able to receive power from Power over Ethernet (PoE) sourcing devices, its LAN port also supports PoE with 802.11at standard which make network deployment more convenient and easier.
