It also supports OFDMA and MU-MIMO in both downlink and uplink directions, reducing latency and improving multi-user concurrent performance.
More features
- Supports CleanAir Pro to detect interference across all frequency bands
- Supports client steering to automatically connect clients to the 6GHz band
- Supports 5 Gbps Ethernet Multigigabit connectivity
- Supports up to 30.5W PoE 802.3bt
- Supports wall mount or rack mounting
Pros and limitations
Pros
- Supports Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E with XOR technology to enhance performance.
- Includes built-in sensors for air quality, humidity, and temperature monitoring without requiring additional hardware.
- Supports OFDMA and MU-MIMO in both downlink and uplink directions, reducing latency and improving concurrent performance.
