Secure, Wall-Flush Installation for Multi-Dwelling Wi-Fi
The wall plate form factor is uniquely suited for locations where tampering needs can be prevented and the access point needs to be mounted out of sight behind tables, beds, etc. In-room PoE devices such as phones and TV gateways can be powered from the AP225W, saving time and operators’ cost.
Cloud-Based Network Baselining and Troubleshooting
“Why is the Wi-Fi not working?” If this question sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone. Whenever a user experiences a problem, they will often blame Wi-Fi. IT admins need access to better answers. The Wi-Fi Cloud provides real-time insight into the users’ experience and tracks why clients may fail to connect to the network. Wi-Fi Cloud baselines network traffic and automatically highlights anomalies by triggering alerts to network admins for resolving issues before users report them.
