NWA1123-AC-EU0101F
The ZyXEL NWA1120 Series is a standard-based, SNMP-managed PoE Access Point (AP) that
includes two 802.11n models: the 2.4 GHz NWA1121-NI and concurrent 2.4/5 GHz NWA1123-
NI as well as the newly introduced NWA1123-AC featuring the advanced 802.11ac technology.
The smoke detector look exterior makes the NWA1120 Series perfect for indoor ceiling-mount
installation; with the optimized antennas built-in, its design solves the common interference issue
in ceiling-mount deployments. The NWA1120 Series supports multiple operating modes, such as
wireless client and repeater, which make it an ideal, flexible solution for small business, hotels and
school environments.

Benefits
Ceiling-mount design with best interior wireless performance
Different from traditional business wireless APs struggling between performance and environment
cohesion, the ZyXEL NWA1120 Series of PoE AP features embedded antennas and ceiling-mount
capability without sacrificing wireless performance. In typical ceiling-mount installations, the access
points with external antennas are mostly hidden in the plenum area; to prevent performance
degradation, the antennas usually stick out of the ceiling—messy for indoor deployments. The smoke
detector-style exterior of ZyXEL NWA1120 Series is suitable for ceiling installation that prevents
equipment theft. Although the NWA1120 Series uses built-in antennas, it outperforms APs with internal
antennas and blends into the interior better as well.

In addition, the ZyXEL NWA1120 Series adopts non-toxic casing material, since it’s usually placed in
plenum areas, to prevent hazardous vapor emission in case of fire; this is especially important to public
venues such as offices, hotels and schools.

High-density with high-quality user experience
It’s now common for a user to carry two or more devices that use different Wi-Fi bands; this challenges
many places that still use legacy Wi-Fi AP with insufficient capability to serve the high-bandwidth
devices. Both NWA1123-NI and NWA1123-AC are compatible with concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
Wi-Fi bands to support more users at the same time. Featuring the latest IEEE 802.11ac technology,
including the expanded channel binding of 80 MHz and the highest 256 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation), the new NWA1123-AC delivers data speeds of up to 3 times faster. This brings the best user
experience through higher number of parallel video data streams for minimized latency on the network.
