Unparalleled Bandwidth and Flexibility
The D-Link DWL Series Unified AC Wave 2 Wireless Access Points are designed for medium to large-sized enterprises. They provide unparalleled bandwidth and flexibility for administrators looking to deploy a medium to large scale Wi-Fi network with manageable dual-band wireless LAN options and utilizing the cutting-edge speed of Wireless AC Wave 2. They can be centrally managed via D-Link Unified Wireless Controllers or operate in standalone mode.
Features To SuperchargeYour Wi-Fi
The DWL-8720AP comes packed with features to maintain super-fast data speeds, even at peak usage times.
Band Steering
The 5 GHz band is the fast lane of your Wi-Fi. Band Steering automatically drives capable devices such as smart phones or tablets onto the 5 GHz band, delivering them a better experience, especially in situations such as HD video streaming or VoIP.
MU-MIMO
This feature is the ultimate weapon in handling congestion by being able to support more simultaneous streams of data. Your Access Points can serve more people at the same time. That's less waiting time all round.
Load Balancing
Redress the balance with Load Balancing. Connections are shared out fairly to surrounding Access Points, avoiding any single point in your Wi-Fi becoming overwhelmed.
The result? A steady, consistent connection for every user.
Beamforming
Beamforming technology continuously optimizes the wireless signal, focusing and it towards receiving devices and following them. This adaptive beamforming enhances spectral efficiency and link quality.
Fast Roaming
Built in 802.11k technology makes roaming seamless. It maps out APs in the surrounding areas, ready to make the switch immediately to a new closer, stronger connection even when staff are on the move.
Quality of Service Spells The End of Interrupted Video Calls
Video conference calls and VoIP are the mainstay of any busy office. At busy times though time-sensitive traffic such as those can struggle with timely delivery. The result: interrupted streaming and calls dropping off. However, with the Quality of Service feature, time-sensitive data is intelligently prioritized over other traffic such as email or web browsing, ensuring seamless calls and video.
Slash Through Management Time
Versatile management significantly cuts down configuration and management time, making life easier for IT admins. Paired with a highly capable Unified Wireless Controller - such as the DWC-2000 - they can be managed remotely, with no need for onsite configuration. Roll out new configurations or keep your AP's firmware up-to-date easily with remote batch configuration, no need to do it one by one.
Connectivity, Come Rain or Shine
As an outdoor-ready AP, the DWL-8720AP is designed to meet an IP67 ingress protection rating. This means it is completely protected against harmful dust and exceptionally resistant to water. On top of that, it is highly resilient, being able to operate in unexpectedly high or low temperatures.
Peak Performance and Discreet Deployment with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The DWL-8720AP is designed for rapid deployment, bringing connectivity quickly to where you need it. It is Power over Ethernet (PoE) ready, allowing for external installations where power outlets can be tricky to come across. Furthermore, it can either be pole or wall mounted, so you can quickly deploy it and gain high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity outside, as well as in.
