What is the maximum combined data rate of the AP-605R?

The AP-605R delivers a combined maximum data rate of 3.6 Gbps when operating concurrently on 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. Individual band performance includes 2.4 GHz at 287 Mbps, 5 GHz at 1.2 Gbps, and 6 GHz at 2.4 Gbps. The dual-radio 2x2 MIMO architecture enables simultaneous operation on any two bands, providing flexibility for different deployment scenarios and client device capabilities.

Can the AP-605R be powered using standard PoE?

Yes, the AP-605R is designed for efficient operation on standard 802.3af Class 3 Power over Ethernet, consuming only 40W at maximum load. This enables cost-effective deployment without requiring dedicated power infrastructure upgrades. The low power consumption makes it ideal for remote locations, branch offices, and distributed campuses where power availability is limited.

What connectivity options does the AP-605R provide?

The AP-605R offers multiple Ethernet connectivity options: a 2.5 Gbps uplink/downlink port (E0), a dedicated 2.5 Gbps up/downlink port (E1), and three dedicated 1 Gbps downlink ports (E1-E3). Additionally, it includes USB 2.0 host interface, serial console interface, and optional CAT 12 LTE cellular module for primary or backup connectivity in remote locations.

How does the 6 GHz band benefit enterprise deployments?

The 6 GHz band provides up to seven 160 MHz channels, delivering 1200 MHz of additional spectrum capacity compared to Wi-Fi 6. This expanded spectrum significantly reduces interference, enables lower latency, and supports bandwidth-hungry applications like video conferencing, telehealth, and AR/VR. The additional channels are critical for high-density deployments with many concurrent users.

What security features does the AP-605R include?

The AP-605R incorporates WPA3 Enterprise encryption with CNSA support, WPA2 backward compatibility, and Enhanced Open (OWE) for guest access. It includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for protected storage of credentials and encryption keys. Additional security features include Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) for end-to-end traffic encryption, Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for application-aware filtering, and support for RADIUS, PAP, CHAP, and TACACS authentication.

Is cellular backup connectivity available for the AP-605R?

Yes, an optional CAT 12 LTE cellular module is available for the AP-605R, providing primary or backup connectivity for remote locations with unreliable wired infrastructure. The module includes integrated antennas and a high-speed interface for seamless LTE connectivity, ensuring business continuity for branch offices and distributed workforces.

What management and optimization features are included?

The AP-605R supports cloud-native management for centralized control across multiple locations. It includes AirMatch, an ML-based RF optimization engine that dynamically adjusts power and resource allocation to optimize coverage and eliminate gaps. Additional features include Air Slice for application assurance with SLA-grade performance, Indoor Location Awareness with embedded GPS for automatic positioning, and Advanced Cellular Coexistence filtering to minimize interference from cellular networks and distributed antenna systems.
