Managed Access Point

The Zyxel Nebula NAP353 802.11ac Dual-Radio External Antenna 3x3 Nebula
Cloud Managed Access Point is a high-performance outdoor 3x3 802.11ac
AP capable of delivering combined data rates of up to 1.75 Gbps. Featuring
dual-concurrent, dual-band operation and advanced technologies such
as Dynamic Channel Selection, Load Balancing and Smart Client Steering
as well as with IP66-rated weather protection, the NAP353 delivers high
throughput and reliable coverage for a superb Wi-Fi experience even in
harsh outdoor environments.

Every Nebula AP has been engineered for cloud management. Based on the
NETCONF standard, all data traffics between the cloud and access points are

Benefits

Zero-touch deployments

The Zyxel Nebula NAP353 auto-configures itself after installation and then
automatically connects 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.

Best-in-class coverage and performance

Different from other 802.11ac APs, the Zyxel Nebula NAP353
stands out with its best-in-class coverage and performance
thanks to its unique RF design. The AP’s three-stream hardware
configuration provides power of up to 29 dBm and unparalleled
receive sensitivity of as low as -102 dBm.

Optimized wireless experience

The Zyxel Nebula NAP353 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 that features Band Select and Balance
for more spectrum to provide more stable, reliable wireless
connections.
