Nomadix has expanded its Nomadix Networks portfolio with two new wireless access points and a significant firmware update. The APs include a wall plate model to address the one-AP-per-room requirement and a wall/ceiling model for medium, indoor coverage needs in areas such as corridors, staircases and individual rooms. These new additions are meant to enhance the company’s existing WLAN range.
The latest Nomadix networks updates are:
- AP 6WB: This access point complements Nomadix’s existing entry-level wall plate model (the AP 6WA), adding increased performance and capability to power an in-room device such as an IP phone. It delivers a maximum throughput of up to 2.976 Gbps, has one 2.5 Gbps port for backhaul uplink and four 1 Gbps LAN ports, including 1 PoE Out.
- AP 6SA: Designed to support connectivity in low-density areas, this wall/ceiling-mounted access point is an energy-efficient product for this use case. This provides another option to Nomadix’s model for high density areas. It delivers a maximum throughput of up to 2.976 Gbps and has two ports—one 2.5 Gbps SFP port and one 1 Gbps PoE port for backhaul uplink.
- Firmware upgrades: This release includes several major features, including wireless client isolation, Radius security, group preshared key, Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0) support and configuration and a documented application programming interface.
“The launch of Wi-Fi 6 technology saw the fastest adoption in Wi-Fi history," Nomadix Chief Product Officer Tammy Estes said in a statement. "Our wide range of access points, switches, controllers and gateways that comprise our family of Nomadix Networks supports that Wi-Fi 6 growth. With available stock of the latest products designed to address properties of all sizes and performance requirements, customers can quickly upgrade or build new networks that meet the connectivity demands in hospitality, multitenant communities and additional verticals."
