Accelerated Dual-Band Performance

The EnGenius ECB1200’s accelerated speed and performance for users with

802.11ac laptops and other devices ensures smooth, rapid wireless HD
video streaming and large le transfers over long distances. With Dual-Band
support, this 802.11ac 2x2:2 Indoor Access Point and Client Bridge features
data speeds of up to 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, when associated with
AC client devices, and up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. Its Dual-Band
feature incorporates high-capacity performance without bottlenecks for
legacy and newer devices to a large number of clients simultaneously.

Fast Roaming with Enhanced Security

When used with a RADIUS server, the ECB1200’s Fast Roaming feature
supports secure authentication, distributing and caching a designated WPA/
WPA2-Enterprise encryption key to neighboring ECB Access Points. Together
with the Fast Handover feature, the AP automatically initiates a secure client
transfer from one ECB Access Point to the next nearest AP with a stronger
signal, keeping clients continuously and seamlessly connected to the
network.

Long-Range Connectivity with External Detachable
Antennas

With powerful, long-range connectivity capacity, the ECB1200’s external
MIMO antenna array is comprised of four (4) detachable 5 dBi high-gain
antennas; two (2) for the 2.4 GHz radio and two (2) for the 5 GHz radio,
transmitting up to 26 dBm of power per band. This combination of high­transmit power, enhanced receive sensitivity and long-range high gain
external antennas results in wide-reaching connectivity to client devices,
and in some venues, drastically minimizes the number of APs needed for
deployment compared to other solutions.

Customize Wireless Access for Different Departments
or Workgroups

Create and congure up to eight (8) separate wireless networks per
frequency band for a total of 16 SSIDs. Utilizing SSID-to-VLAN tagging
(802.11q) can help increase security, network reliability and conserve
bandwidth by limiting who has access to connect.

Secured Guest Network Option

Establish and secure Guest Networks and control access to company
computers and servers. Limit Internet resources available to visiting
customers, clients and vendors and ensure your company network and
servers are kept secure from sophisticated Trojans and malware that can use
guest’s mobile devices to attack your network.

Simplied AP Monitoring

For simplied Wireless Access Point monitoring and sequential rmware
upgrades after deployment, IT managers can download the free the SNMP­based EZ Controller software for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux from the
EnGenius web site. Since the ECB1200 requires no software, set up and
conguration is easily completed through its web User Interface or the
optional EZ Controller software.

Flexible Mode Congurations per Frequency Band

Easily congure the ECB1200 as an Access Point, Client Bridge or WDS (AP,
Station & Bridge) based on user needs in each frequency band. When set to
Client Bridge mode, Ethernet-enabled devices, such as printers, copiers or
storage can join an existing wireless network when connected via a Switch
or directly to the wired device, making applications like wireless printing and
archiving from laptops and tablets even easier.
