1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Extraordinary 11ac Wireless Technology

The WDAP-1750AC supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac dual band standards with 3T3R MIMO technology;
therefore, it provides the wireless speed up to 450+1300Mbps, which is 24X faster than the 11a access
point at 5GHz frequency and 8X faster than the 11g access point at 2.4GHz frequency. Moreover, the
WDAP-1750AC is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Compared with the general wireless APs, the
WDAP-1750AC offers faster transmission speed for the network applications and less interference to
enhance data throughput. The incredible wireless speed makes it ideal for handling multiple HD movie
streams, high-resolution on-line games, stereo music, VoIPs and data streams at the same time stably and
smoothly.

Ultra-high-speed, Next-generation Enterprise Wireless

PLANET WDAP-1750AC is an enterprise PoE access point with the latest 802.11ac wireless technology,
advanced management features and superior encryption standard yet cost-effective. Meeting enterprise
demand, the WDAP-1750AC has enhanced security and management features including multiple SSIDs,
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, WPA/WPA2-enterprise security, RADIUS MAC authentication and so forth. With the
multiple reversed-polarity SMA male antenna connectors, the WDAP-1750AC is able to connect its
suitable external antenna and booster in such wireless environments as warehouses, campuses and
enterprises.

11ac Innovations Bring Excellent Data Link Speed

The WDAP-1750AC has 3 highly-sensitive antennas which provide stronger signal and excellent coverage
even in the wide-ranging or bad environment. With adjustable transmit power option, the administrator can
flexibly reduce or increase the output power for various environments, thus reducing interference to
achieve maximum performance. To provide extremely high-speed user experience, the WDAP-1750AC
adopts IEEE 802.11ac technology to extend the 802.11n 40MHz channel binding to 80MHz and the
implementation of 256-QAM modulation where higher transmitting/receiving rates go up to 1300Mbps in
5GHz less interference frequency band. In addition, the WDAP-1750AC is equipped with Gigabit LAN port
to eliminate the restriction of 100Mbps Fast Ethernet wired connection to let users fully enjoy the high
speed provided by wireless. The IEEE 802.11ac also optimizes MU-MIMO (Multi-User MIMO) mechanism
to serve multiple devices simultaneously.

Wall Mount Designed for Highly-efficient Wireless Coverage

As it is a highly-reliable industrial wall-mount design, the WDAP-1750AC can be firmly installed on the wall
conveniently. Its stylish body with three antennas also gives effects of embellishment in the surroundings.
Moreover, the WDAP-1750AC is compliant with the IEEE 802.3at PoE standard, so it is easy and flexible
in client-side installation. It is definitely nice to have this eye-catching access point mount on the walls of
campuses, hotels, exhibit halls, and other establishments.

Wireless Security Encryption and Wireless Value-added Features

In aspect of security, besides 64/128-bit WEP encryption, the WDAP-1750AC is integrated with WPA /
WPA2, WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK and 802.1x Radius authority to secure and protect your wireless LAN. It
provides the wireless MAC filtering and SSID broadcast control to consolidate the wireless network
security and prevent unauthorized wireless connection.

 Product Specification of WDAP-1750AC

Multiple Operation Modes for Various Applications

The WDAP-1750AC supports AP, WDS Bridge, and Repeater modes, through which it provides more
flexibility for users when wireless network is established. Compared with general wireless access point, the
WDAP-1750AC offers more powerful and flexible capability for wireless clients.

Flexible Deployment with PoE Feature

Compliant with the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet standard, the WDAP-1750AC can be powered and
networked by a single UTP cable. It thus reduces the needs of extra cables and dedicated electrical outlets
on the wall, ceiling or any other place where it is difficult to reach. The wireless network deployment
becomes more flexible and worry-free from the power outlet locations.

Easy Installation and Management

With user-friendly Web UI, the WDAP-1750AC is easy to install, even for users who never experience
setting up a wireless network. Furthermore, with SNMP-based management interface, the WDAP-1750AC
is convenient to be managed and configured remotely in a small business wireless network.
