Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to key questions about our Wi-Fi Access Points to
help you choose the right solution for your network

Why should businesses deploy multiple Access Points instead of using Wi-Fi extenders?

Wi-Fi extenders re-broadcast the signal, often reducing speed. Access Points, however, connect directly to the wired network and provide dedicated high-speed Wi-Fi, enabling enterprises to scale coverage across offices, campuses, and warehouses with seamless roaming.

How does cloud-managed Wi-Fi simplify enterprise network management?

Cloud-managed Access Points allow IT teams to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot remotely from a single dashboard. Features like network analytics, policy control, and automated firmware updates reduce operational costs and improve scalability.

How do Access Points ensure seamless roaming in offices, campuses, or warehouses?

Enterprise APs support fast roaming protocols (802.11r, k, v), allowing devices to switch between APs without dropping calls or data. This ensures uninterrupted connectivity for voice, video, and real-time applications across large facilities.

How far can an outdoor Access Point cover in open environments?

Coverage depends on design and antenna type. Outdoor APs can cover several hundred meters in open environments. With external directional antennas, range can extend to kilometers, making them ideal for stadiums, campuses, and rural broadband deployments.

What is the ion4e outdoor Access Point used for?

The ion4ewireless Access Point is designed for delivering carrier-grade, secure outdoor Wi-Fi in environments like campuses, warehouses, transport hubs, and public spaces. It provides seamless connectivity, even in challenging outdoor conditions.
