Dual radio offering peak data rate of up to 5.95 Gbps

ion8x is integrated with concurrent dual radio to offer a combined peak data rate of 5.95 Gbps, up to 4800 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and 1150 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Technologies like transmit beamforming and enhanced receiver sensitivity allows the ion8x to support a higher client density resulting in better performance for more clients connected to each Access Point.

Bi-Directional, Multi-User-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)

The Access Point offers MU-MIMO and OFDMA for transmission that is more efficient to multiple clients. This is especially suited for environments with numerous varied devices, with each supporting latest or legacy Wi-Fi standards. MU-MIMO enables multiple clients to transmit and receive data simultaneously. This increases the total network performance and improves the end user experience.

EasyMesh Networking

Eliminating the need for expensive cabling, Access Points automatically form a wireless mesh, and provides connectivity in every possible corner. With self-healing and self-optimization functionality, in case of a mesh node failure, the surrounding nodes automatically re-connect and resume service without downtime. Support for EasyMesh means that it is interoperable with third party Access Points and/or Routers and can quickly be deployed as standalone or converged with the existing network. This eliminates the need for locking-in with a single vendor, driving down the total cost of ownership of the network.

Better Coverage with Integrated Antenna

Transmit power of up to 29 dBm along with integrated antenna gain of 8 dBi (ion8x) helps transmit data to a larger coverage. This ensures more clients can be connected at far off places.

Traffic shaping & Application Aware

The ion8x includes an integrated layer 2-Layer 7-packet inspection, classification, and control engine, enabling the configuration of QoS policies based on traffic type, helping to prioritize mission-critical applications while setting limits on recreational traffic like peer-to-peer, gaming and video streaming. Policies can be implemented per network, per SSID, per user group, or per individual user for maximum flexibility and control.

Higher security & Guest Access

The ion8x comes with WPA3 - the latest Wi-Fi security standards, offering more security from hacker attacks. It builds a security shield so hackers cannot crack off-site, brute-force, dictionary-based cracking attempts. Integrated, easy-to-use security provides secure connectivity for employees and guests alike. Advanced security features such as AES hardware-based encryption and Enterprise authentication with 802.1X and Active Directory integration provide wired-like security while still being easy to configure. One-click guest isolation provides secure, Internet-only access for visitors.

Improved Battery Life

Unscheduled automatic power save delivery (U-APSD) and Target Wake Time (TWT) feature enables devices such as smartphones and laptops to determine when and how frequently they will communicate with the Access Point. Benefits of these features are multifold such as an increased sleep time for the device, less consumption of battery and band- width, optimized spectral efficiency for IoT devices by reduction in overlaps and conflicts.

Centralized control

Centralized management of the entire network on our highly intuitive, flexible, and scalable cloud network manager or on-premise controller. It provide the flexibility to distribute the network, allocate varying bandwidths, manage, track, troubleshoot, configure communicate, and enforce policies on all Access Points in the network. The controller has in-built analytics and reporting capabilities to gain insight into usage patterns
