Outdoor Access Point
Enterprise-Grade and Wave 2 Outdoor Performance without
the Premium Cost
Product Overview
The AP3917 is a feature rich 802.11ac Wave 2 and 802.11abgn outdoor access
point that extends aordable enterprise-grade mobility beyond the walls.
These outdoor access points are designed to operate in harsh environments
such as manufacturing plants, parks, practice facilities, and outdoor stadiums.
The AP3917 oers multiple connectivity options including WiFi 2.4GHz, WiFi
5GHz, and BLE/802.15.4 (e.g. Thread, etc.) for location services or extended
connectivity to Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices.
The energy ecient AP3917 is powered via 802.3af Power over Ethernet
(PoE). The light-weight and compact design enables easy installation on
most surfaces; optional accessories are available for fixed wall mounting,
directional wall mounting, or pole mounting. The AP3917e model requires
professional installation and includes four standard N-type antenna
connectors supporting 2.4GHz or 5GHz band antennas, as well as a fifth
standard N-type connector for a 2.4GHz antenna for BLE/802.15.4 support.
The AP3917 is built using the latest in technology, including 802.11ac
Wave 2, dynamic radio management, spectrum analysis with interference
classification, beamforming, multi-user MIMO, self-forming and self-healing
meshing, security, role-based authentication, authorization, and access
control to ensure consistent and secure connectivity to users and sensors.
