WAC6303D-S
802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio Unified Pro Access Point
Networking administrators managing busy venues such as airports,
exhibition centers or shopping malls must understand how visitors longed for
WiFi and how challenging it is to meet the demands within limited budgets.
The Zyxel WAC6303D-S 802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Radio Unified Pro Access Point
delivers superior wireless experience in high-density areas at an affordable
price. Powered by 3x3 MU-MIMO that provides tripled performance and Zyxel
smart antenna technology with the proven ability to mitigate co-channel
interferences, the WAC6303D-S not only resolves the challenge today but also
guarantees future-proof scalability for the ever-growing mobility demands.
Benefits
Second Generation MU-MIMO — the true breakthrough in
wireless connectivity
Stepping up from 802.11ac, the Wave 2 technology introduces Multi-User
MIMO (MU-MIMO). This is an important WiFi development that enables
an AP to communicate with multiple clients at a time offering up to 300%
performance for a 3x3 AP. The benefits of Wave 2 technology are clear, but
there are still two well-known technical challenges: the airtime cost when
performing channel measurement, and the data rate being limited by the
slowest client in the MU group.
To overcome those challenges, the WAC6303D-S uses next generation
transmit beamforming technology incorporating Low End Sensitivity
Improvements and Time Domain Channel Smoothing allowing data rates
to increase for not only MU-MIMO clients, but for all existing ones as well.
Additionally, the WAC6303D-S is built with Smart antenna, premium power
amplifiers and low-noise elements delivering superior wireless performance
over other Wave 2 access points on the market.

Datasheet WAC6303D-S
Unbeatable coverage
Maximizing wireless coverage is more than just a game of
output power. Every hardware design details including the
layout, the antenna and the ability to distinguish between
numerous sources of noise all contribute in determining
coverage and throughput. The Zyxel WAC6303D-S features
Smart antenna technology with the proven ability to
mitigate co-channel interference, and adaptively adjust
antenna patterns to fit high-density applications. Unlike
most products on the market that measure only conducted
sensitivity without considering the effect of antennas, Zyxel
examines sensitivity with antenna (a.k.a. OTA sensitivity)
as a whole wireless system to minimize the degradation
in sensitivity at receiver end. In short, Zyxel has optimized
the design of the WAC6303D-S to boost sensitivity and
maximize real world performance.
ThermoSense Adjustment Technology
Zyxel’s ThermoSense Adjustment Technology is an
innovative feature that extends the operating temperature
range to as high as to 60°C. It does this by monitoring
the temperature threshold intelligently and making
adjustments to operating parameters. This ensures
continued performance in extreme environments such as
warehouses and factory floors.
3G/4G Cellular Network Coexistence
With gradually pervasive 3G infrastructure deployment
at customer sites, users start to experience wireless
performance degrade e.g. ping drops and high latency,
however whenever users shutdown the 3G equipment,
wireless service resumes working smooth. To enable 3G/4G
cellular network coexistence and minimize interference
from 3G/4G antennas or signal boosters, the WAC6303D-S
has built-in 3G/4G interference filters. As a result,
installation of the AP no longer needs to worry about the
visible or invisible 3G/4G indoor antennas around.
BLE Beacons gain insight into your consumers
The Zyxel WAC6303D-S is an efficient WLAN solution for
high-density deployments and it gives customers a futureproof BLE beacon-enabled network. It cooperates with
third-party beacon management platforms to boost user
engagement, especially for retailers who want to improve
the in-store experience. With the most accurate indoor
location technology, retailers can navigate customers to instore events or push in-time coupon to passersby carrying
beacon-compatible devices.
Zyxel One Network experience
Aimed at minimizing the repetitive task of deploying and
managing networks, Zyxel One Network (ZON) simplifies
configuration, management and troubleshooting of
multiple AP and switch deployments. This enables users
to focus on their other key business priorities. The Zyxel
One Network incorporates Zyxel One Network Utility
(ZON Utility), an easy-to-use tool designed for instant
network setup and Zyxel Smart Connect, which allows
Zyxel networking equipment to find and recognize each
other automatically. Zyxel One Network further facilitates
remote network maintenance with one-click functions, and
works across multiple networking products from Switch to
Wireless to Gateway.
Optimized wireless experience with advanced
features
The WAC6303D-S ensures an optimized wireless
experience for users with a range of wireless features such
as Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS), Load Balancing and
Smart Client Steering. DCS minimizes the interference of
co-channel and overlapping channels. Load Balancing
enables administrators to set limits on the number of
clients associated with each AP. Furthermore, Smart Client
Steering features with Band Select, Signal Threshold and
Band Balancing combine to deliver stable, reliable wireless
connections. Band Select and Signal Threshold monitor
the capabilities of each wireless client and steer them to
the less-congested band and AP with better signals. Band
Balancing detects dual-radio clients and distributes clients
across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands on AP. All of these deliver a
smooth, consistent and uninterrupted wireless experience
to its users.
Grow your business with a scalable wireless
network
The WAC6303D-S can be configured as a fully functional
standalone AP. However, it is also capable of working with
a Wireless LAN Controller to form a robust controllerbased WLAN solution with centralized management
as WiFi demand grows. Thanks to the innovative AP
Flex technology, no manually configuration is required
to choose between standalone or controller mode; the
WAC6303D-S will automatically put itself into managed
mode if a compatible wireless controller is found on the
network. Using industry standard CAPWAP technology
ensures secure and reliable communication between the
controller and AP, even if the controller is located off-site.
