Pakedge Device & Software, Poster City, Calif., expanded its wireless access point lineup with the introduction of its W7R Rack-Mountable Dual-Band Concurrent Wireless Access Point (WAP). The new W7R provides simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz operation and comes with symmetrical rack-mountable brackets. The W7R offers improved range, data throughput and reliability along with greater configuration options compared to conventional designs.
The W7R utilizes Pakedge-exclusive Smartwav™ technology to proactively learn the wireless environment around the WAPs and dynamically direct its signal toward client devices and around potential sources of interference, like microwaves or thick walls. This allows Pakedge devices to produce a more powerful signal with greater coverage, yet still use less power. The W7R's four Smartwav antennas allow it to broadcast constructive signals by synchronizing waveforms, further increasing range, throughput and quality of service via an extremely stable radio signal, without the peaks and valleys that characterize traditional wireless devices.
The W7R features band-steering functionality that can automatically push capable clients from the 2.4GHz band to the less-congested 5.0GHz band for improved performance. It employs Pakedge's TruStream™ suite of features designed to provide best-quality streaming media performance. TruStream allows the W7R to recognize and categorize network traffic and ensure that high-priority traffic like streaming video, music or VoIP is given precedence. TruStream avoids interference or high latency, which can cause buffering, lag or even complete interruption of streaming playback.
