Frequently Asked Questions
What is Wi-Fi 6 and how does it benefit outdoor deployments?
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) delivers higher data rates, improved efficiency, and better performance in congested environments compared to Wi-Fi 5. The EOC655-C23's dual 5GHz radios with Wi-Fi 6 support enable outdoor broadband providers to serve more clients simultaneously with reduced latency and increased throughput, making it ideal for campus networks and remote area connectivity.
Can the EOC655-C23 work with existing Wi-Fi networks?
Yes. The EOC655-C23 maintains full backward compatibility with 802.11b/g/n/ac standards, allowing seamless integration into existing wireless infrastructure without requiring network redesign. This flexibility makes it an excellent upgrade path for organizations modernizing their outdoor access point deployments.
What are the power and connectivity options?
The EOC655-C23 features two Ethernet ports for maximum flexibility: a standard Gigabit port with 802.3at PoE for conventional deployments, and a 2.5G port with proprietary PoE for high-bandwidth uplinks. This dual-port design accommodates various network topologies and power delivery requirements in outdoor environments.
How does the 23 dBi antenna improve coverage?
The integrated 23 dBi panel antenna provides directional gain and extended range, enabling the outdoor access point to reach distant clients with strong signal strength. This high-gain antenna is particularly effective for point-to-point links and long-range broadband coverage in open or semi-open terrain.
