Core Features & Differentiators

MU-MIMO & High-Order Modulation
AP6050DN’s 4×4 MU-MIMO serves up to four clients per band simultaneously, while 256-QAM boosts 5 GHz rates to 2.13 Gbps—2.16× faster than 802.11n.
80 MHz Channel Support
Wider channels double sub-carrier counts for data transmission, optimizing throughput for video streaming, desktop cloud, and large-file transfers.
Dual-GE Link Aggregation
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports can be bonded for 2 Gbps uplink capacity and redundancy, eliminating bottlenecks during peak traffic.
Smart Antenna Array
Built-in omni antennas with beamforming dynamically focus RF energy toward clients, enhancing coverage uniformity and interference immunity.
Seamless Roaming
Standards-based 802.11k/v/r fast-handoff ensures <50 ms roam times, preserving VoIP and video sessions across the coverage area.
Flexible Mounting
Ceiling-tile and wall-mount brackets allow graceful integration into modern office ceilings or corridor walls, preserving aesthetics.
