NWA3560-N

Low-cost WLAN expansion for growing businesses

The ZyXEL NWA3000-N Unified Pro Series is a highly versatile WLAN solution that offers optimal investment protection for growing businesses. NWA3000-N Series Unified Pro APs feature a 3-in-1 design that allows them to function as either a standalone AP, managed AP, or controller AP. Small businesses can initially use the NWA3000-N Series in standalone AP mode; and as the company grows and more APs are added to the network, they can be set to controller AP mode to offer centralized management of up to 24 other APs. This solution can be further expanded with a ZyXEL NXC5200 Wireless LAN Controller, which can manage up to 240 APs with granular access control.

Double the bandwidth, better performance

Mobility and the trend of BYOD have ushered in the need for more Wi-Fi bandwidth and higher Wi-Fi capacity in the workplace. Companies today need a faster, more reliable wireless network to satisfy the access needs of a growing amount of mobile Internet devices. Designed in compliance with IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n standards, the ZyXEL NWA3000-N Series can provide dual-band Wi-Fi with data rates up to 300 Mbps to solve the network overloading and signal interference problems of crowded Wi-Fi environments. The NWA3160-N dual-band model allows users to set it to work in either the 2.4 or 5 GHz band for added deployment flexibility, while the NWA3560-N and NWA3550-N dual-radio models provide concurrent 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless connectivity. These solutions allow IT administrators to direct some of the wireless traffic to the 5 GHz band to balance network loading and provide better Wi-Fi quality for a larger amount of users.

Effortless deployment with PoE, auto-discovery and auto-provisioning

ZyXEL NWA3000-N Series Unified Pro APs provide a variety of features to make configuration and installation quick and effortless. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, all models in the NWA3000-N Series can be powered by PoE switches via Ethernet cable, which makes installation more flexible and eliminates the need to install electrical outlets near every access point. Once installed and powered up, NWA3000-N Series APs use the auto-discovery function to look for the controller and join the management group automatically. The auto-provisioning function enables secure, automatic provisioning to be established between the controller and the managed APs effortlessly

Conveniently designed for SMB deployments

ZyXEL NWA3000-N Series Unified Pro APs provide enterprise-grade security for SMBs with WPA/WPA2-Enterprise authentication. NWA3000-N Series Unified Pro APs are also conveniently designed with embedded RADIUS servers that help SMBs save the expenses and maintenance effort on using standalone RADIUS servers. Additionally, all indoor models of the NWA3000-N Series adopt LSOH material and comply with the UL 2043 standard. These plenum-rated APs can be conveniently installed in plenum spaces, and would produce the least amount of toxic or corrosive smoke should a fire occur.
