EnSky Series 11ax Indoor Access Points

11ax Indoor Managed Access Points

High Performance Reliability

Equipped with Qualcomm’s latest chipset, the EnSky Series AX indoor access points feature AX technology, which deepens and expands the capabilities of wireless as well as fortifies SMB networks. The new 802.11ax technology builds upon realworld deployment of 11ac. As next-generation Wi-Fi, 11ax is no longer just about speeds but also about stronger, steadier, and more efficient wireless connections.

Features & Benefits

• High-capacity & high-efﬁcient Wireless Technology

• Uplink & downlink of OFDMA for more efﬁcient channel use

• 1024 QAM for 25% increase in throughput

• Target Wake Time (TWT) for power-saving wake times

• BSS Coloring for tagging packets with “color” to differentiate

data

• Spatial reuse for simultaneous tranmissions on same channel

• Uplink & downlink of MU-MIMO for optimal signal & reception

reliability

• Operate as a stand-alone AP or centrally manage via switch

• Remotely manage 1-1000+ APs via ezMaster

• GbE PoE-compliant ports expand deployment & power options

• Low-proﬁle designs for ceiling or wall mount

Next-Generation Wi-Fi

The EnSky Series AX Access Points take advantage of 11ax

technology, which enables more efﬁcient channel use, reduces

latency between AP and client devices, and provides groundbreaking features, such as uplink and downlink of OFDMA, Target Wake Time, uplink and downlink of MU-MIMO, BSS Coloring, spatial reuse, and preamble updates.

• OFDMA (in both uplink and downlink): enables more

efficient channel use, reduces latency between AP and client devices, and provides backward-compatibility with

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz

• 1024 QAM: boosts throughput by 25% and provides

greater reliability in short distances

• BSS coloring: tags packets with a “color” to differentiate

between adjacent basic service sets to potentially help minimize co-channel interference (CCI)

• Spatial reuse: identifies the different “colors” via BSS

coloring and simultaneously transmits on the same channel, which reduces waiting time and lessens contention; determines whether the transmission will be deferred or reused on the channel

• Uplink & downlink of MU-MIMO: supports up to eight

client devices and provides greater network efficiency, focuses radio energy on specific users, and ensures optimal signal and reception reliability

• Target Wake Time (TWT): reduces power consumption,

schedules wake times, and extends client battery life of mobile and IoT devices

• Longer OFDM symbols: enables shorter wait times

between data transmissions and tolerates more noise, which allows greater coverage

Flexibility in Deployment

EnSky’s new 11ax line of high-performance, managed, indoor ceiling- and wall-mount access points consists of 2x2 11ax dualband for general use and a 4x4 dual-band 11ax version for highcapacity use that are ready to immediately deploy. Configure APs individually as stand-alone units, locally manage up to 50 per EWS switch or use ezMaster software to control 1000+ APs.

Optimize Connectivity With Wireless Mesh* on Selected Models

Utilize mesh access point mode on EnSky APs for retrofit or new install applications where wire runs are not possible. Mesh’s smart sensing technology adds devices quickly, optimizes routes between APs, and automatically self-heals the network in the event an AP should ever lose connection.

The Latest in Wi-Fi Security

With the EnSky 11ax access points, your network is protected by WPA3*, which delivers next-generation wireless security by making connecting client and IoT devices more secure and easier, as well as WPA2-AES. The high level of security expected and demanded by enterprises now protects SMBs as well.

Secure Guest Networks

Organizations that offer Internet access to patrons or visitors notably hotels, retail shops and restaurants - will appreciate EnSky’s guest network capabilities. Establish a secure guest network that blocks access to main corporate computers. Create separate Virtual LANs for increased security, network reliability, and bandwidth conservation.

Power-over-Ethernet Convenience

All EnSky 11ax access points support 1 or 2.5 Gigabit PoE ports, enabling placement in discreet locations where power outlets are scarce or unavailable. Power the access points through a connected Ethernet cable directly to a EWS Managed Gigabit PoE+ switch or with a PoE adapter up to 100 meter from the power source.

Simplified Deployment & Provisioning

In combination with EWS Switches and ezMaster Network Management Software, EnSky 11ax APs are automatically discovered and provisioned. One-click individual or bulk configurations and upgrades save time. In addition, these access points are quickly and easily deployed and operated by users with limited networking experience.

Manage Up to 50 APs with EWS Switches

In small settings, any EWS Managed Switch can act as a wireless controller capable of managing up to 50 EnSky Access Points. IT administrators have access to all connected EnSky devices and a full array of Layer 2 management tools. Choose between 8-, 24-, and 48-Port PoE+ switch models with flexible deployment and management options.

Simplified Device Management

ezMaster Network Management Software makes centralized device management easy. How? Through bulk configuration, provisioning and monitoring, a comprehensive at-a-glance network dashboard, rich analytics and reporting, and much more.
