Pakedge Introduces Its WAP-C3N and WAP-C3G In-Ceiling Access Points,
The First Products to Use Pakedge’s Patented In-Ceiling Design
Foster City, CA
–
Pakedge Device & Software
today announced the introduction of its WAP-C3N and
WAP-C3G In-Ceiling Wireless Access Points (WAP), the first products to incorporate the company’s
newly awarded patent for an in-ceiling wireless access point design. The WAP-C3N offers n-band
capability for high-throughput wireless video streaming, while the WAP-C3G provides 802b/g operation.
Because the WAP-C3N and WAP-C3G can be mounted in a ceiling (rather than being conventionally
mounted in a wall or other location), they can provide significant advantages, including increased
wireless range and more reliable operation because of reduced interference from building and
construction materials.
Both are ideal for use in custom installation audio/video systems, home networks and security systems.
They’re also suited for enterprise-class networks where the highest level of reliability is required.
As part of the patent design, both units incorporate a low profile cover that provides a clean, finished
appearance extending only ¾” from the ceiling. The WAP-C3N and WAP-C3G are designed for easy
installation in new construction or retrofit in three easy steps: cut a round hole in the ceiling or wall,
engage two dog ears and connect a cat5/6 cable.
The WAP-C3N and WAP-C3G offer ultra-high-throughput 802b/g/n and ultra-high-power 802b/g
operation, respectively, in the 2.4GHz frequency band. Both support VLANs (virtual local area networks)
and multiple SSIDs, enabling a user to segment a wireless network for different devices (for example,
A/V system touch panels, computers and gaming systems) to provide the most efficient operation for all
network-connected devices.
The WAP-C3N and WAP-C3G are powered by a single Cat5e cable, which also provides network
connectivity. Both units can be configured to operate in Wireless, Wireless Access Point (WAP),
Wireless Bridge and Wireless Repeater (WDS). They are optimized for use with A/V system touch
panels and control devices, and offer adjustable power output and range. Their country and power output
configurability enables them to be used worldwide, and both units support the latest security standards
including WPA, WPA2, AES, TKIP, WEP, RADIUS, MAC filtering and SSID Hide.
The Pakedge WAP-C3N and WAP-C3G Wireless Access Points are currently available and are include
the access point assembly, Quick Start Guide and Cat5e cable. Please contact sales@pakedge.com for
pricing.
