Zyxel NWA1123-ACV2
802.11ac Dual-Radio Ceiling Mount PoE Access Point
Sorry, this product is no longer available, replaced by the NWA1123ACV3.
Overview:
Superior Coverage from Multifunction Ceiling Mount Access Point
Zyxel delivers speed and convenience with its refreshed NWA1123-ACv2 802.11ac 2x2 PoE access point (AP), offering streamlined controller-less deployment for a trouble-free wireless LAN experience. Building on the solid reputation of its predecessor, this ultra-fast AP brings together remarkable performance and coverage enhancements, along with a userfriendly interface and robust design components. The smoke detector-style exterior makes this AP ideal for indoor ceiling-mount installation, providing smooth Wi-Fi service without detracting from interior design aesthetics. The NWA1123-ACv2 also supports repeater operating mode, making it a flexible solution for small businesses, hotels, and school environments.
- Compact ceiling-mount design with optimized RF performance
- Enterprise class 2x2 802.11ac AP supports combined data rates of up to 1200 Mbps
- Better coverage with optimized antenna and RF design
- Flexible operating modes (stand-alone, root-AP/ repeater mode)
- Reliable software and robust hardware design
- Set up and forget offers better-than-ever WLAN experience
Benefits:
Best interior performance in a smoke detector design
Users no longer have to choose between performance and environmental cohesion when deploying business wireless APs. The smoke detector-style form factor of the Zyxel NWA1123-ACv2 with embedded antenna module and optimized radiation pattern is suitable for ceiling installation. This design element not only helps it outperform comparable APs, but also allows it to blend seamlessly into interior spaces and prevent equipment theft. The Zyxel NWA1123-ACv2 is constructed from non-toxic casing materials, making it safe to install in plenum areas, as it won’t release hazardous vapor emissions in the event of a fire. This is life-critical issue, particularly when deploying in public venues such as offices, hotels, and schools.
Zyxel One Network experience
Aiming for relieving our customers from repetitive operations of deploying and managing a network, Zyxel One Network is designed to simplify the configuration, management, and troubleshooting, allowing our customers to focus on the business priorities. Zyxel One Network presents an easy-to-use tool, Zyxel One Network Utility (ZON Utility), to realize speed network setup. Zyxel Smart Connect*1 allows Zyxel networking equipment to be aware and recognize each other and further facilitating the network maintenance via one-click remote functions such as factory reset or power cycling. Zyxel One Network redefines the network integration across multiple networking products from switch to Wi-Fi AP and to Gateway
Best-ever user experience
The biggest achievement with the NWA1123-ACv2 is optimized antenna and RF design that create a thoroughly enhanced Wi-Fi experience via a combination of improved software and hardware. Additional improvements to the NWA1123-ACv2 include dynamic channel selection (DCS) and load balancing. DCS avoids interference from co-channel and channel overlapping at initialization, while load balancing allows administrators to easily limit the number of clients associated with each AP. These advanced functions ensure that users can enjoy a stable wireless networking experience over the ideal Wi-Fi channel on the optimal AP.ga
Blending multi-operation flexibility with practical business features
Along with support for stand-alone operating mode, the Zyxel NWA1123-ACv2 PoE access point also provides repeater/root-AP mode compatibility with Zyxel’s Unified Pro Series and Unified Series APs.*2 By taking advantage of these features, users can extend wireless connectivity to challenging locations without the bother of troublesome cabling. The NWA1123-ACv2 offers the ideal solution for small businesses through an array of useful features designed for business deployments, including multiple SSID and solid Wi-Fi security provided by WPA2 Enterprise and Layer-2 isolation. All of these practical enhancements coupled with high-performance RF design make the Zyxel NWA1123-ACv2 the best solution for creating flexible Wi-Fi networks for smaller-scale enterprises.
Set up and forget streamlines controller-less deployment
The refreshed NWA1123-ACv2 introduces streamlined controller-less deployment with Zyxel Access Point Configurator (ZAC)*3. Just install the AP wherever desired out of the box and the device will automatically acquire its IP address. ZAC will take over the multiple-AP configuration and help to complete firmware upgrades and profile backups when needed in three easy steps, significantly reducing time and effort. Once the configuration has been completed, the NWA1123-ACv2 is able to operate autonomously without additional maintenance via computer or special management tool. The administrator can easily monitor status using any available SNMP tool, making management simple enough for even networking novices to handle.
