OFDMA
OFDMA is applied in Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax). It is a user access technology that allows spectrum to be simultaneously allocated to multiple users or devices, enabling the transmission of multiple data streams on the same frequency band, thereby enhancing network efficiency. It can also be adjusted according to demand or priority, achieving more flexible network resource management. By dividing the spectrum into small subcarriers, OFDMA can also reduce interference between adjacent users, making the signal more reliable and stable. This is one of the latest key technologies in Wi-Fi 6.
BSS Coloring
BSS Coloring is a feature introduced in the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard, which helps reduce interference from neighboring Access Points (APs) and improves coexistence between multiple APs.The basic idea behind BSS Coloring is that each BSS or AP is assigned a unique color, which is added to the preamble of each transmitted data packet. When a client device receives a packet, it can check the color of the received preamble and use this information to differentiate signals from different APs.
BSS Coloring helps prevent unnecessary retransmissions and conflicts caused by neighboring networks, thereby improving overall network efficiency and potentially extending the available range of IoT devices.
Downlink & Uplink MU-MIMO
In Wi-Fi 6, MU-MIMO technology has been further developed to communicate simultaneously with multiple devices in both the Downlink and Uplink directions.This means that whether sending data from the access point to devices or from devices to the access point, multiple device data streams can be processed simultaneously. This enables faster and more reliable wireless connections, while also improving network throughput and efficiency..
WPA3 Data Encryption
• WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) is a latest standard used to protect Wi-Fi network security, and it's also implemented in Wi-Fi 6 networks.
• WPA3 adopts advanced encryption algorithms such as Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) to replace the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode used in WPA2, thus resisting password cracking and dictionary attacks.
• WPA3 also includes some improved security configurations and protocols to enhance network security and protection levels, providing a more secure Wi-Fi network protection.
Flexible Fiber Ethernet and Power Input Source
Power Input:
•Equipped with an 802.3at-compliant PoE+ port, enabling power delivery and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable. The AP can be powered by POE Switch or PoE Injector, such as our DP412-LV or DP208-LV (supporting 12-24VDC Input), or DP420(supporting 48V/54VDC input).
•Includes a DC 12V input, offering an alternative power source for flexible deployment options. For example, the Solar power source typically provides 12V power through an invertor. Solar power can acts as backup power for both AP and PoE Switch(with 12-24V booster design) to ensure uninterrupted wireless transmission in the field.
Ethernet Features:
•Equipped with dual Ethernet ports for LAN/WAN gateway functionality, enabling versatile network configurations.
•Features a fiber SFP port for long-distance connections, ideal for linking to an upper switch in industrial or outdoor environments.
•Daisy Chaining: In AP mode, the Ethernet ports operate in bridge configuration, allowing APs to be connected in daisy chain via Ethernet to extend coverage. This setup is typically used in applications requiring omni-directional wireless coverage.
Network Mode
• AP mode (Default): The AP wireless interface and Ethernet interface are bridging together. Users get IP from company’s DHCP server or AP Controller.
• Bridge the LAN/WLAN to the uplink network, ex: company network, private WLAN network.
• Gateway mode: The device is supposed to connect to internet via ADSL/Cable Modem. The AP acts as DHCP server and assign IP for connected clients.
• Gateway mode provides NAT Routing, DMZ and IP/MAC/URL filtering.
• Gateway mode provides NAT Routing, DMZ and IP/MAC/URL filtering.
Wireless Repeater Mode
• Wireless Repeater Mode: Wireless Repeater Mode allows an access point (AP) to extend the range of an existing Wi-Fi network by retransmitting the signal to cover a larger area. A repeater AP connects wirelessly to the primary AP or another repeater AP, boosting Wi-Fi coverage without needing a physical Ethernet connection. The primary AP means the AP with an uplink Ethernet connection to the office network or Internet.
• How Multiple Repeater APs Work with Client Device Roaming: When multiple repeater APs are set up, they create a mesh-like network, all sharing the same Repeater SSID (network name) and password for internal communication among the APs. The Repeater SSID is typically hidden from client devices and is only used for back-end communication between the repeaters and the primary AP, ensuring stable signal transfer.
Client devices(ex: smartphones, laptops, AGV) connect using a different SSID configured on the APs.
As they move across areas, the devices automatically switch to the nearest repeater AP with the
strongest signal. The APs manage this handoff by continuously assessing signal strength, enabling
seamless roaming without requiring the client to reconnect.
Wireless Client Isolation
• Virtual AP: Allows a single access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, creating separate virtual networks with distinct settings and security policies, like guest and internal networks.
• Wireless Isolation: Restricts communication between devices on the same SSID, enhancing privacy and security—especially useful for public or guest networks.
