Introduction
EWS managed APs are dual-band wireless 802.11 ax/ac/a/ b/g/n wireless Access Point that built in powerful interfaces to achieve great performance and evenly coverage under a pervasiveenvironment.Itcanbeconfiguredasan:Managed mode or Stand-alone mode to network with multiple client devices including mobile, NB and other client devices for
providing an optimal connecting spped which could be the best choice to pro-users, SMB, hotel, hospital and enterprise. Its high-powered, long-range characteristics make it a costeffective alternative to ordinary Access Points that do not have the range and reach to connect to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a business network.
Maximum data rates are based on IEEE 802.11 standards. Actual throughput and range may vary depending on many factors including environmental conditions, distance between devices, radio interference in the operating environment, and mix of devices in the network.
