Integrated into every Wi-Fi access point is a sophisticated high-gain directional antenna system, which constantly focuses and directs Wi-Fi signals over the best performing paths. This is essential in hostile RF environments where obstacles, interference, and noise wreaks havoc with wireless systems.

No more deployment hassles—thanks to Mesh Networking

In warehouses spanning 70,000 to 200,000 square feet or more, there are few options for placing APs where they're needed. Mesh Networking is a solution to this problem, letting warehouse IT staff deploy APs where coverage is needed most—without having to pay for and pull Ethernet cabling.

Getting People to Their Destination With Better Wi-Fi

Each day, hundreds of thousands of people pass through transportation hubs such as airports, train, taxis and bus stations. In many cases they need real time access to schedules, gate and ticket information, and maps or other guidance as they pass through the terminal.
