Frequently Asked Questions
What is the airMAX Lite 5AC Access Point used for?
The LAP-120-US is designed for outdoor wireless broadband applications including wireless ISP networks, enterprise point-to-multipoint deployments, and long-distance 5 GHz wireless bridges. Its 2x2 MIMO antenna and airMAX ac technology enable cost-effective, high-performance connectivity across challenging terrain.
What are the key benefits of 5 GHz wireless bridging?
5 GHz wireless bridging offers higher data rates, reduced interference from congested 2.4 GHz networks, and excellent performance for long-distance point-to-point links. The airMAX Lite's license-free operation in the 5 GHz band makes it an economical choice for expanding wireless infrastructure without spectrum licensing costs.
How does the 2x2 MIMO antenna improve performance?
The 2x2 MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) sector antenna increases link reliability and range by transmitting and receiving data streams simultaneously across two spatial paths. This technology is fundamental to airMAX ac performance, enabling robust connections even in environments with signal reflections and obstacles.
Is the LAP-120-US suitable for outdoor deployment?
Yes, the airMAX Lite 5AC is purpose-built for outdoor use with a rugged, ultra-lightweight design rated for outdoor environmental conditions. Its Gigabit Ethernet interface and weatherproof construction make it ideal for mounting on towers, poles, or rooftops in wireless ISP and enterprise network deployments.
