Highlights High-Performance and High-Reliability Wireless Network

 High-speed wireless broadband access

The WL-8200-I2(R2) supports the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standard, operates in a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, and provides an access bandwidth up to 1167 Mbps. MU-MIMO technology could support 2 terminals' communication simultaneously, whole AP support 3 terminals simultaneously, greatly improve the overall throughput of the WiFi network

 Flexible installation

The WL8200-I2(R2) supports wall mounting, ceiling mounting, T-keel mounting, desktop mounting, you can deploy it almost everywhere that you want.

 High-performance RF characteristics

Professional optimized design is employed for the RF module of the WL-8200-I2(R2), so that a single antenna port supports 20 dB transit power at all rate levels, thereby improving wireless coverage in high-rate access scenarios.

 Automatic emergency mechanism of APs

In a centralized network architecture where fit APs and a wireless AC are deployed, the APs will be unable to operate normally when the wireless AC is down and then the entire wireless network will crash. DCN wireless APs support an automatic emergency mechanism. This mechanism enables an AP to intelligently detect links. When detecting that the wireless AC is down, the AP quickly switches its operating mode so that it may continue to forward data while enabling new users to access the network. This mechanism attains high availability in the entire wireless network and really helps wireless users to be always online.

 Broad operating temperature range

Thanks to deliberate hardware design and the selection of dedicated components operating in a broad temperature range, DCN smart APs may operate in an environment with its temperature ranging from 0°C to +50°C.

 Dual-OS backup mechanism

DCN smart APs support a dual-OS backup mechanism. When an AP fails to start from the active OS, it can immediately start from a standby OS, thereby improving the long-term running reliability of equipment in an adverse environment.

Wireless Network of Intelligent Control and Automatic Perception

 Support 802.11ac wave 2 standard

Downward compatible with the 802.11a/b/g/n protocol, Perfect to existing and future Wi-Fi devices. Can support data transmission rate up to 1.3Gbps* and simultaneous dual-band technology.

 Intelligent RF management

DCN smart APs may be used with a wireless AC to perform automatic power and channel adjustment. They employ particular RF detection and management algorithms to attain a better RF coverage effect. When the signals of an AP are interfered by strong external signals, the AP may automatically switch to an appropriate operating channel under the control of the AC to avoid such interference, thereby guaranteeing wireless network communications. The system also supports wireless network blackhole compensation. When an AP on the network accidentally stops operating, the RF management function of the AC compensates the resulting blind area of signals so that the wireless network can still operate normally.

 Intelligent control of terminals based on airtime fair

When some outdated 802.11b and 802.11g terminals are used on a wireless network or some terminals are far way from APs, negotiation rates will be low, causing a large number of users to experience a long WLAN access delay, low rates, or poor overall AP performance. The AP performance problem in a low-rate terminal access environment, however, cannot be resolved by simply employing rate control and traffic shaping. DCN smart APs have essentially resolved this problem by using intelligent control of terminals based on airtime fairness, ensuring that a user can always enjoy the same joyful WLAN experience in the same location, no matter what type of the terminal the user is holding. The intelligent control of terminals based on airtime fairness greatly improves the performance of both the client and the entire network. It enables all clients with high data transmission rates to attain strikingly higher performance while low-rate clients are almost not affected at all. The performance will be even more obviously higher on an open wireless network. Once high-rate clients finish data transmission, fewer clients will be transmitting data on the wireless network. In this case, there will be less contention and retry on the network, thereby greatly improving overall AP performance.

 Intelligent load balancing mechanism

In general, a wireless client will select an AP according to the signal strength of APs. When this uncontrolled access mode is applied, however, a large number of clients could be connected to the same AP simply because the AP provides strong signals. As more clients are connected to an AP, the bandwidth available to each client will be smaller, thereby greatly affecting user experience of the clients. DCN wireless products support diversified intelligent load balancing means:

- AP load balancing based on traffic

- AP load balancing based on the number of users

- AP load balancing based on frequency bands

- Access control based on signal strength of terminals

- Mandatory roaming control of terminals to direct terminals to APs with stronger signals

 Intelligent identification of terminals

DCN smart APs may be used with DCN wireless ACs and a unified authentication platform to intelligently identify the size, system type, and type of each terminal; and comprehensively support mainstream smart terminal operating systems, such as Apple iOS, Android, and Windows. They intelligently identify the size of a terminal and adaptively present a portal authentication page of the corresponding size and page pattern, freeing users from multiple times of dragging to adjust the screen and enabling users to enjoy more intelligent wireless experience. They can also intelligently identify the system type of each terminal and present the system type of each terminal such as Windows, MAC OS, or Android on the unified authentication platform, exhibiting every detail of intelligence to users. In addition, they can intelligently identify the type of each terminal such as the mobile phone, tablet, or PC, and implement dynamic policy control of terminals according to different types of the terminals, making possible more intelligent user control at a finer granularity.

 Comprehensive support for IPv4/v6 dual-stack networks

Powered by DCN cutting-edge IPv6 technology, DCN smart APs may be deployed on an IPv6 network, with IPv6 tunnels established through auto negotiation between a wireless AC and an AP. When the wireless AC and the AP completely operate in IPv6 mode, the wireless AC can still correctly identify IPv4 terminals and process IPv4 packets from wireless clients. Featuring flexible adaptability to IPv4/6, DCN smart APs cater to complex applications involved in migration from an IPv4 network to an IPv6 network. They not only provide IPv4 service to customers on an IPv6 network, but also enable users on an IPv4 network to log in to the network through the IPv6 protocol at ease.

 Network-wide seamless roaming

DCN wireless ACs support an advanced wireless AC cluster technology, which enables multiple ACs to synchronize online connection information and roaming records of all users to each other in real time. This technology implements not only L2/L3 seamless roaming inside a wireless AC but also fast roaming across wireless ACs. As client IP address information does not change and re-authentication is not required in the roaming process, the continuity of real-time mobile services is well guaranteed.

 Support WDS mode

Support WDS mode under both fit/fat AP mode. Use 2.4GHz and 5GHz achieve wireless bridging function.
