Description
The D-Link DWL-8720AP is a high-performance wireless access point designed to meet the needs of modern outdoor networking environments. With its outdoor design and IP67 rating, it is built to withstand harsh weather conditions, offering reliable service in any outdoor setting. This device supports dual-band connectivity, providing both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to accommodate a wide range of devices and applications. With a data transfer rate of up to 1.3 Gbps and support for Wi-Fi 5, it ensures fast and efficient Internet access for multiple users simultaneously.
Security is a priority for the DWL-8720AP, featuring advanced encryption algorithms such as WPA3 to protect network communications. It also supports up to 32 virtual access points and 32 SSIDs, allowing for extensive network segmentation and enhanced security. Additionally, the device’s support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional power cables. With its comprehensive feature set and robust design, the D-Link DWL-8720AP is an excellent choice for any organization looking to deploy a reliable and secure outdoor wireless network.
- Dual-band wireless speeds offer a formidable 1267 Mbps throughput
- 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi supports even more simultaneous users and devices than ever before
- Support for Power of Ethernet 802.3af means less wires, for cleaner and easier deployment
- Coverage is shared more efficiently over more users with Airtime Fairness
- Band Steering intelligently manages users, pushing them onto the higher 5 GHz band
- With 802.11k support, devices pre-detect neighboring APs, switching seamlessly when roaming
- Quality of Service prioritizes time-sensitive data such as video calls or streaming, for less interruptions
- Supports WPA3 – the latest WiFi security for more protection
- IP67-rated water-resistant and dust-tight housing
- Delivers powerful Wi-Fi, even in extreme temperatures (-40 to 60°C)
- Unparalleled bandwidth and flexibility
The D-Link DWL Series Unified AC Wave 2 Wireless Access Points are designed for medium to large-sized enterprises. They provide unparalleled bandwidth and ?exibility for administrators looking to deploy a medium to large scale Wi-Fi network with manageable dual-band wireless LAN options and utilizing the cutting-edge speed of Wireless AC Wave 2. They can be centrally managed via D-Link Unified Wireless Controllers or operate in standalone mode. - Quality of service spells the end of interrupted video calls
Video conference calls and VoIP are the mainstay of any busy office. At busy times though time-sensitive traffic such as those can struggle with timely delivery. The result: interrupted streaming and calls dropping off. However, with the Quality of Service feature, time-sensitive data is intelligently prioritized over other traffic such as email or web browsing, ensuring seamless calls and video. - Slash through management time
Versatile management significantly cuts down configuration and management time, making life easier for IT admins. Paired with a highly capable Unified Wireless Controller – such as the DWC-2000 – they can be managed remotely, with no need for onsite configuration. Roll out new configurations or keep your AP’s firmware up-to-date easily with remote batch configuration, no need to do it one by one. - Connectivity, come rain or shine
As an outdoor-ready AP, the DWL-8720AP is designed to meet an IP67 ingress protection rating. This means it is completely protected against harmful dust and exceptionally resistant to water. On top of that, it is highly resilient, being able to operate in unexpectedly high or low temperatures. - Peak performance and discreet deployment with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
The DWL-8720AP is designed for rapid deployment, bringing connectivity quickly to where you need it. It is Power over Ethernet (PoE) ready, allowing for external installations where power outlets can be tricky to come across. Furthermore, it can either be pole or wall mounted, so you can quickly deploy it and gain high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity outside, as well as in.
