Easy RF planning with same 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal coverage (NWA1123-NI, NWA1123-AC)
Most Wi-Fi devices around us operate in the crowded 2.4 GHz band where only three non-overlapping channels can be used for deployments, and
complaints for the unsatisfactory network performance are not uncommon. As many recent mobile or laptop devices support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands, users tend to choose the 5 GHz band as their first priority; as a result, serving the 5 GHz devices becomes more important than before. However,
the coverage of the higher-frequency 5 GHz band is inherently smaller comparing to the 2.4 GHz band, given the same output power. With a fine-tuned 5
GHz radio mechanism that boosts performance at the frequency, the coverage of NWA1123-NI and NWA1123-AC becomes comparable to which at the 2.4
GHz band to reduce the complexity of deployments considerably.

Multi-operation flexibility and practical business features
The NWA1120 Series of PoE Access Points supports multiple operating modes including stand-alone access point, wireless client and repeater/root-AP
mode. The wireless client mode enables office peripherals like printers or fax machines to connect to the network in case they are located in places
difficult for cabling. The NWA1120 Series also extends Wi-Fi services utilizing the repeater or root-AP mode to prevent excessive cable constructions. The
NWA1120 Series is the best choice for small businesses for its practical features designed for business deployments: multiple SSID, solid Wi-Fi security of
WPA2 Enterprise, Layer-2 isolation and 802.1 x radius authentication. All these practical features along with the high-performance RF design make the
