The IT Nerd

EnGenius Technologies Inc., a leading provider of networking solutions for any sized businesses, today announced the launch of the ENH500-AX, a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) 5GHz 2×2 outdoor wireless point to point client bridge. 

This innovative new product takes advantage of the latest Wi-Fi technology to deliver high-density transmissions between buildings and large outdoor properties without needing the complexity or costs of fiber cables. The EnGenius Wi-Fi 6 outdoor bridge boasts Wi-Fi 6 capabilities and features that significantly improve throughput, efficiency, and accommodates 8k ultra-HD video and heavy multi-application traffic with extended bandwidth over greater distances. 

The ENH500-AX “invisible wire” bridge comes with Qualcomm^® Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53s @ 2.0GHz CPU and is a game-changer for businesses looking to connect multiple buildings or extend their networks to outdoor spaces without the expense of running fiber cables. Designed for peak performance in harsh climates, EnGenius Fit Wi-Fi 6 outdoor access points feature IP55-rated waterproof and dustproof enclosures ensuring they can withstand harsh outdoor environments.

The ENH500-AX bridge offers high 26 dBm output power and utilizes beamforming technology to optimize client antenna signal, reception, and reliability, while it can achieve longer ranges when paired with another Wi-Fi 6 bridge in a point-point/multi-point deployment. It comes equipped with high-gain 16 dBi directional antennas that emit a narrow signal beam to limit interference and ensure stable connectivity, high bandwidth, and speeds of up to 1200Mbps for up to 5 miles.  

Key Features and Benefits: 

• Wi-Fi 6 technology for high-performance and efficient Wi-Fi in outdoor environments  
• Beamforming optimizes antenna signal, reception, and reliability for clients 
• 2×2 directional antennas to support up to 1,200 Mbps in 5 GHz 
• High transmit power extends Wi-Fi to yard or building-to-building 
• High gain integrated directional antenna extends wireless networks up to 5 miles point-to-point
• IP55-rated weatherproof & dustproof housing 
• Simple, intuitive interface via EnWiFi app for local AP configuring & monitoring 
• Flexible operation modes: access point, WDS access point, WDS station 
• Remotely & centrally manage via EnGenius Private Cloud software 
• Gigabit Ethernet PoE port supports flexible power options

The ENH500-AX is now shipping and available to order.

EnGenius expands its enterprise Cloud solution with the rugged ECW270, a top-of-the-line outdoor access point (AP). With an IP68 rating, one of the highest outdoor ratings available, it protects from extreme dust, torrential rain, and even immersion under high pressure. 

This industrial-grade Cloud Managed AP boasts Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology and a 4×4 antenna designed for superior wireless communication even in harsh outdoor environments. It can provide network coverage to many simultaneous client connections, which is perfect for business parks, apartment complexes, senior living, airports, school campuses, and outdoor venues.  

The ECW270’s high-powered radios provide the ability to mesh the access point at greater distances and blanket larger areas with Wi-Fi minimizing expensive cable runs. IT professionals can use the existing 2.4 GHz (5 dBi) and 5 GHz (7 dBi) detachable antennas to flood an area with Wi-Fi or swap out the antennas for more demanding environments with specific requirements. 

The ECW270 AP can use its primary Ethernet port, which supports 2.5 GigE PoE++, to easily be mounted and attached to light poles, sides of buildings, and exposed ceilings or racks in warehouses up to 300 ft away from the power source. The AP also provides a secondary 1 GigE PoE+ PSE port to pass internet data and power to a surveillance camera or other power-sourcing device.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High-rated, IP68-rated waterproof & dustproof housing withstands extreme environments 
• Detachable four (4) 7 dBi 5 GHz & four (4) 5 dBi 2.4 GHz, Omni 360° N-type antennas 
• Supports up to 2,400 Mbps in 5-GHz band & 1,200 Mbps in 2.4-GHz band 
• Dual-band 802.11ax with scanning radio for an improved wireless experience
• 2.5 GigE PoE++ compatible port for easy placement in outdoor spaces 
• 1 GigE port with PSE (802.3af/at) to power up IP cameras or other compliant devices 
• High-powered radios to increase meshing distances on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz 
• Built-in surge and ESD (electro-static discharge) protection 
• Wide outdoor operation ranges from -4°F ~ +149°F (-20°C ~ +65°C)

The ECW270 is managed on the EnGenius Cloud, and a single or an unlimited number of these ruggedized APs can be easily installed, configured, and monitored at scale. APs can be quickly scanned, registered, pre- & auto-configured, and remotely monitored and troubleshot. The cloud solution allows IT professionals to dive into AP specifics like device status, throughput and connectivity performance, wireless statistics, and connected wireless device status.

The ECW270 AP is now shipping and EnGenius is offering it at an unmatched value of $999 MSRP through its authorized partner channel. For more information, visit https://www.engeniustech.com/engenius-products/ecw270-wi-fi-6-4×4-outdoor-access-point/
