Review Summary
The ZyxEL Wireless LAN Access Point NWA-3500 is a "hybrid" AP that acts as a enterprise-class AP in "stand-alone" mode and/or in "AP controller" mode at the same time. The hybrid AP has full flexibility to deploy secure and reliable WLAN networks and is able to manage up to 24 APs and is suitable for companies with 300-500 staffs. In the initial phase constructing a WLAN, the NWA-3500 can be configured as a fully functional AP in "stand-alone" mode; with more APs installed, the NWA-3500 can be set to the AP controller mode to manage all other access points. When a new branch office is established, one of the managed NWA-3500 can become another controller to manage a separate WLAN network.
The NWA-3500 meets the security and high availability demanded by enterprises as all communications between the hybrid AP and managed AP are performed in a secured tunnel. Since no configuration data is stored on the managed AP, sensitive setup information is not exposed even if the AP is stolen. The hybrid AP also provides the scalability to manage APs across different networks.
The NWA-3500 is a series of full-function, enterprise-class AP providing 802.11a/b/g connectivity, up to 8 SSIDs per radio, profile-based management, leading QoS technology for VoWiFi applications, as well as comprehensive management features for massive deployments.
The NWA-3500 is also equipped with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) capabilities designed for small to medium enterprises. It is built with LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material and is compliant with UL2043, the so-called plenum rating. It reduces the amount of toxic and corrosive gases emitted during the production process to protect people and equipments from the harmful emission. With the mentioned features, NWA-3500 is the best choice to add wireless access to your existing business network or hospitality environment.
