D-Link has introduced the DAP-2660, a new high power 802.11ac wireless access point designed for ceiling or wall mount applications in schools, office buildings, hospitals, government facilities, hotels, and more.
The DAP-2660 delivers high-speed wireless performance using the latest 802.11ac standard, with maximum wireless signal rates of up to 300 Mbps using the 2.4 GHz band, and 867 Mbps using the 5 GHz band.
“Our newest 802.11ac access point supports advanced radio management features, such as band steering, airtime fairness, and load balancing,” says Steven Olen, director of product marketing, D-Link Systems Inc. “Since access points need to connect to a variety of wireless clients that support different speeds and standards, these advanced features are integral to ensure optimal network performance.”
