CHARLOTTE, NC – June 21, 2019 – Araknis Networks®, SnapAV’s exclusive networking brand, has released two new wireless access point models designed to deliver high speed for installs with multiple wireless clients.
The Araknis Networks 510- and 810-Series Indoor Wireless Access Points are powered by Wave 2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, allowing these access points to simultaneously communicate with multiple devices while increasing throughput and decreasing network congestion.
“Wave 2 technology is a critical upgrade, particularly for our commercial dealers who need the ability to increase speed and support more devices on high-density networks,” said Kenny Kim, SnapAV’s Vice President of Connected Products. “This feature is valuable for residential installers as well, because faster speed is important to end-users across the board. The average consumer has more IoT devices than ever before and adding technology that lets an access point talk to multiple devices at once results in a noticeable performance improvement.”
These new Wireless Access Points join the existing family of Araknis products for a complete networking solution. While the current the 500-Series WAP is designed for installations that require more range, the new 510-Series will be a dealer’s go-to access point for high-density applications. The new 810-Series is ideal for an integrator’s most robust networking installs, as it can easily handle hundreds of devices at lightning-fast speed.
“The 510- and 810-Series Wireless Access Points are a great addition to the Araknis line,” said Nima Jamshidi, SnapAV’s Senior Product Manager of Networking. “The 510 offers a solid midrange solution, while the 810-Series is our highest-capacity wireless access point to date. When combined with a 4×4:4 Wave 2 AC antenna, you can install incredible speeds up to 2600Mbps.”
Beyond their powerful performance, these new wireless access points come in a stylish round design that blends into any environment. The signature Araknis blue LED is embedded in these new models, making for a gentle, diffused light that won’t attract a customer’s attention. The new models also feature two ports, PoE, and a unique dealer-friendly installation method that
allows for easy slotting.
As with all Araknis products, these WAPs are compatible with OvrC, SnapAV’s award-winning free remote management system. This makes setting up and managing a clients’ Araknis Networking wireless devices quick and easy. Dealers can check and resolve connectivity if product falls offline and can even create user profiles that customers can use to schedule and restrict Wi-Fi access. Together, OvrC and Araknis eliminate unnecessary truck rolls by giving dealers advanced remote troubleshooting capability.
In combination with Araknis 100-, 300-, 500-, and 700-Series Wireless Access Points, these two new models give dealers more options than ever before. They can choose, based on the property, whether to install a longer range or higher density access point, and can also mix & match square and round models to match a customer’s aesthetic preference.
Concluded Kim, “Dealers know that keeping pace with technology and ever-growing network demands is critical for their business. These new Araknis Wireless Access Points will help integrators create a solid network infrastructure for their clients that will provide years of reliable and seamless connectivity.”
