Dual-optimized Antenna Switch

Dual-optimized Antenna Switch Introduction

 What is Dual-optimized Antenna Switch?

Today, most access points in the market are designed with single static radiation pattern,

typically for ceiling-mount. When an AP with ceiling-mount pattern is installed in a

wall-mount scenario, its signal coverage does not fit the wall-mount deployment. Adapting an

AP with external antenna may be an alternative option. However, external antenna

installation requires know-hows for antenna selection, and it would seem awkward for

interior decoration.

The WAC6103D-I is an 802.11ac AP designed for dual-way installation of wall and

ceiling-mount. Its dual-optimized antenna allows pattern optimization to adapt to both the

wall and ceiling-mount installations. The installation technician can instantly change the

antenna pattern via the physical antenna switch without rebooting the device. If needed,

administrators can perform granular signal optimization per floor plan via software

configuration remotely. With this flexibility, the WAC6103D-I easily fits wall-mount or

ceiling-mount deployment without the hassles of antenna selection and signal coverage

adjustment.

 This Technology helps:

The dual-optimized antenna allows radiation pattern to be changed manually by adapting to

versatile installations, thus delivering benefits such as:

 Coverage Optimization

 Dead Spots Elimination

 User Experience Improvement
