ZyXEL Launches Future-Proof Wireless LAN Solution for Growing Businesses


ZyXEL Communications, a leading provider of secure broadband networking, Internet access and connected home products, today announced the launch of the NWA5123-AC 802.11ac Dual-Radio Unified Access Point (News - Alert). Designed to function as either a standalone or managed solution, the new enterprise-class access point is ideal for growing businesses, hospitality, and education environments.

The plenum-rated NWA5123-AC, which features an unobtrusive smoke detector ceiling mount design and is PoE-capable for easy deployment, can be configured as a fully-functional standalone device or can be centrally managed by a WLAN controller.

"Our new NWA5123-AC provides users with an enterprise-class WLAN solution that can be quickly and easily scaled from one or two standalone access points in a small office environment to a complete centrally-managed solution for midsize and larger nvironments. Using our ZyXEL One Network (News - Alert), the network can be quickly expanded without extensive IT experience making this an ideal solution for even the smallest of businesses."
