The ZyXEL NWA-3160 Business Wireless Access Point is a WLAN solution featuring 2.4GHz/5GHz dual-band, 802.11a/b/g tri-mode and PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) capabilities designed for small to medium Enterprises. It is built with LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material and is compliant with UL2043, the so-called Plenum rating that supports installation in environmental airspaces such as areas above suspended ceilings.
The NWA-3160 can be configured as an 802.11a or 802.11b/g access point with up to 19 non-overlapping channels (upon regulatory domain) for high density, large scale deployments. With dual-band support and rogue AP detection that covers the whole spectrum, you'll have all-aspect monitoring capability over the network. To business users demanding more channels and security, the NWA-3160 dual-band configurable wireless access point is the way to go.
ZyXEL delivers enterprise-class security features to small and medium businesses. To shield wireless communication at the source, WPA2 with TKIP/AES encryption provides the latest and toughest standard-based security while WEP encryption supports legacy wireless clients.
The NWA-3160 supports up to 8 multiple SSIDs with 802.1Q VLAN tag. This function makes the NWA-3160 perform as multiple virtual APs. The NWA-3160 also provides pre-defined voice SSID and guest SSID's for optimized voice prioritization and offers top-level security for guest access without difficulties of complicated configuration efforts.
The NWA-3160 supports a wide variety of administration features with powerful and secure control over the system. It also provides a breakthrough benefit by using a centralized account on RADIUS server to control all the NWA-3160 access points; this simplifies management efforts and improves total network security. Moreover, users can perform massive installations and configuration upgrades with the auto-configuration functions. Simply put, the NWA-3160 is the best choice for small to medium Enterprises.
