High-Gain Antennas: Optional directional antennas for specialized coverage patterns.

Core Features & Differentiators

8×8 MU-MIMO & High-Order QAM
The AP7060DN’s eight-stream 5 GHz radio employs MU-MIMO to serve up to eight clients simultaneously, utilizing 1024-QAM for 4.8 Gbps peak rates—ideal for high-density zones.
OFDMA & Airtime Fairness
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) subdivides channels for simultaneous multi-client uplink/downlink, while airtime fairness prevents slow devices from degrading overall performance.
10 GbE Uplink for No Bottleneck
A 10 GbE uplink interface (auto-sensing down to 1 GbE) ensures backhaul keeps pace with the AP’s wireless capacity, eliminating aggregation chokepoints.
Seamless Fast Roaming
Supports 802.11k/v/r for sub-50 ms handoffs, preserving voice and video sessions as users move across APs.

Security & Authentication

WPA3 & WPA2 EnterpriseSAE handshake and GCMP-256 encryption guard against brute-force and replay attacks.
