AP6010DN-AGN Wireless LAN Access Point
Product Description 1 Product Orientation and Characteristics
1 Product Orientation and Characteristics
Product Orientation
The AP6010DN is a standard indoor dual-band 2x2 MIMO access point (AP) that supports
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. It complies with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n connects a large
number of users, and works as a Fit AP. The AP6010DN has the following advantages:
z
High reliability
z
High security
z
Simple network deployment
z
Automatic AC discovery and configuration
z
Real-time management and maintenance
The AP6010DN is recommended for use in buildings with a simple structure, small area, a
high density of users, and require a high capacity, for example, small-scale meeting rooms,
bars, and entertainment places. The AP6010DN APs can be flexibly deployed in these places
and work in both Fit AP and bridge mode.
The AP6010DN is for use in Fit AP and bridge networking scenarios.
