NAP203

802.11ac Dual-Radio, Dual-Optimized Antenna 3x3 Nebula Cloud
Managed Access Point

The Zyxel Nebula NAP203 802.11ac Dual-Radio, Dual-optimized Antenna
3x3 Nebula Cloud Managed Access Point is a high-performance 3-stream

802.11ac Wi-Fi AP featuring ultra-fast speeds of up to 1.75 Gbps with a
groundbreaking “dual-optimized” antenna design. Through the innovative
adjustable antenna setting, the NAP203 can provide the best signal coverage
in both ceiling-mount and wall-mount deployments to deliver constant,
no-compromise Wi-Fi performance. Additionally, the ultra-slim ID design at
32mm height blends perfectly into modern interior decorations.

Every Nebula AP has been engineered for cloud management. Based on
the NETCONF standard, all data traffics between the cloud and APs are
exchanged using secure transports to ensure transaction-safe configuration
on all Nebula devices. Furthermore, with the intuitive management interface,
administrators are able to control all the APs quickly even without training.

Benefits

Zero-touch deployments

The Zyxel Nebula APs auto-configure themselves after installation, and then
automatically connect to the Nebula cloud to join the network; so auto­configuration, provision, monitoring and diagnostics can be performed
anytime, anywhere. This simplifies network setup and enables deployment of
Nebula APs to a remotely located network even by non-IT professionals.

Dual-optimized antenna design

Ceiling-mount installation is now the major type of wireless
deployments; it is still common that most APs on the market
today are designed with a single static radiation pattern for
ceiling-mount installations. However, this kind of design may
create interference with devices on upper and lower floors, and
it delivers only short-range signals to wireless clients placed in
front of the wall-mount AP. To deliver optimal Wi-Fi performance
in both ceiling- and wall-mount installations, the Zyxel NAP203
features an innovative “Dual-optimized” antenna. Pattern of
the antenna can be adjusted via a physical switch or cloud
configuration in just seconds.

Optimized wireless experience

The Zyxel Nebula NAP203 delivers optimized wireless experience
for users with comprehensive wireless features such as Dynamic
Channel Selection (DCS), Load Balancing, and Smart Client
Steering, etc. DCS avoids interference from co-channeling and
overlapping channels continuously, while Load Balancing and
Smart Client Steering which features Band Select and Balance
for more spectrum to provide more stable, reliable wireless
connections.

Enterprise-class security

The Zyxel Nebula NAP203 inherits the NETCONF protocol
for secure configuration changes. In terms of authentication
and data encryption, it supports WPA2 enterprise protection
and a wide range of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
types, including EAP SIM for smartphones. Besides, the NAP203
also features access control and Layer-2 isolation for privacy
protection. The comprehensive security features ensure NAP203
to deliver enterprise-grade protection to the entire network.

a single pane of glass

Ultra-slim exterior design

Zyxel Nebula NAP203’s ultra-slim exterior (32 mm in height)
and understated white color blend perfectly into all kinds of
decorations in various buildings with extraordinary modern
tastes. The compact, elegant aesthetics makes NAP203 suitable
for different decors no matter it’s meant to be visible or not.
