PoEWit Technologies, a leading manufacturer of PoE lighting, PoE motion detectors, and custom A/V networking solutions, has announced the release of its WAP-2O, an ultra-tough outdoor AP that’s built to last. The rugged WAP-2O features a robust, durable housing constructed with military-grade aluminum and ABS plastic to weather even the most extreme outdoor conditions. The heavy-duty AP maintains optimal performance in extreme, record-breaking summer heat, as well as below-freezing winter temps – as low as -40 degrees F/C – thanks to its innovative onboard heating technology. It also boasts an IP67 waterproof rating.

“The WAP-2O is an incredibly tough outdoor AP that will outlast them all,” according to Victor Pak, Co-CEO of PoEWit. “With the hottest months of summer on the horizon, now’s the perfect time to install this resilient AP.”

Inside its sturdy shell, the WAP-2O is an enterprise-class, dual-band, dual-concurrent, Wi-Fi 6 AP. It supports four spatial streams (2×2 in 2.4GHz; 2×2 in 5GHz) to deliver reliable, secure, and ultra-high performance to many wireless devices simultaneously. It features a 2.5 Gigabit PoE port and 1.0 Gigabit Ethernet Pass-Through port to meet the demand for wireless speeds over 1.0 Gigabit, and its SFP fiber port enables connectivity up to six miles from the central hub.

The WAP-2O is equipped with three wireless radios and a large, multi-core CPU. When coupled with PoEWit’s smart, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), the WAP-2O can disable non-critical radios during a utility power outage in order to preserve backup battery. The only other AP in its class with this level of intelligence is the WAP-1, PoEWit’s indoor Wi-Fi 6 AP with 8×8.

Just like its indoor counterpart (the WAP-1), the WAP-2O can be configured with ease and without legacy baggage via the free PoEWit app, available for iOS and Android. Its app-based management system enables simple deployment in any environment – from home exteriors to outdoor stadiums.
