help you choose the right solution for your network

What does "4x4" mean in the context of an Access Point?

In the context of an Access Point, "4x4" refers to the number of antennas used for transmitting and receiving data. Specifically, it means the device has four transmit antennas and four receive antennas for each radio band. This is a form of MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, which allows the Access Point to transmit and receive data from multiple client devices simultaneously.

For the ion12xe_h2, the "4x4 [5 GHz] + 4x4 [2.4 GHz]" specification means it uses four spatial streams on both the 5 GHz band and the 2.4 GHz band, resulting in up to 8 streams of Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. This significantly boosts overall spectrum use, maximizes coverage, and optimizes per-user throughput, making it particularly effective in very high-density areas.

What are some common applications for outdoor access points?

Outdoor Access Points are essential for extending Wi-Fi coverage to large external areas. Common applications include:

  • Public Venues: Providing high-density Wi-Fi in stadiums, parks, and outdoor arenas.
  • Smart Cities: Powering public hotspots and supporting smart city infrastructure like smart lighting and sensors.
  • Transportation: Offering seamless connectivity at airports, railway stations, and transit hubs.
  • Commercial Use: Extending the network to outdoor seating areas at restaurants, hotel pools, and outdoor shopping centers.

What Wi-Fi challenges do warehouses face, and how do outdoor Access Points help?

Warehouses need continuous connectivity for real-time inventory tracking and logistics, but traditional Wi-Fi often struggles with coverage in large facilities and outdoor yards. Outdoor Access Points like the ion12xe_h2 deliver reliable Wi-Fi across the entire site, including loading docks and storage yards. This ensures seamless data transfer for handheld scanners and devices, enabling accurate inventory management and uninterrupted operations.

Why are outdoor Access Points important for metro stations and mass transit hubs?

Metro stations experience high commuter density and constant movement, which makes it difficult for traditional Wi-Fi to deliver stable, high-speed connectivity. Outdoor APs such as ion12xe_h2 support Wi-Fi 6 and up to 1024 concurrent clients, using MU-MIMO to maintain fast, reliable connections. This ensures commuters enjoy smooth access to navigation, travel updates, and online services, even in crowded environments.

How do outdoor access points improve connectivity in car parking zones?

Parking areas rely on secure Wi-Fi for digital payments, surveillance, and navigation systems. Standard networking equipment often fails due to exposure to dust, rain, and extreme temperatures. IP67-rated outdoor APs like the ion12xe_h2 are weatherproof and operate in extreme conditions (-40°C to 60°C). They provide reliable, secure Wi-Fi for payment terminals, navigation apps, and security cameras, with WPA3 encryption to protect sensitive data.
