4x4 business class dual band 802.11ac
The NETGEAR® Premium Business 802.11ac 4x4 Wave 2 Wireless Access
Point (AP) delivers high performance with maximum client density for enter-
prises requiring ubiquitous and reliable wireless for all business applications.
The WAC740 is a controller managed Access Point with ease of centralized
management with all NETGEAR wireless controllers from small (WC7500) to
mid-size (WC7600) and large-size (WC9500) deployment. The WAC740
operates with Multi-User MIMO and can achieve speeds up to 600Mbps
for 2.4GHz and 1.7Gbps at 5GHz. The WAC740 comes with 2 Power over
Ethernet (PoE) ports, including one port that can handle up to 2.5Gbps of
throughput, enabling a single wire to connect to a 2.5Gbps capable switch
for ease of wiring installation.
Features
•MU-MIMO maximizes the use of wireless
medium for delivery of high throughput
content
•Compact and elegant design stylishly blends
into the environment
•Concurrent operation in 2.4GHz (600Mbps)
and 5GHz (1.7Gbps) for maximum wireless
throughput
•Backward compatibility with 802.11a,
802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n network
devices
•Integrated Power over Ethernet (802.3af
and 802.3at) lowers deployment costs
•Controller managed by WC7500,
WC7600 and WC9500 allowing centralized
management up to 600 Access Points in a
cluster of controllers.
•Business-class security features include
WPA, WPA2, rogue AP detection and
802.1x with RADIUS support
•Easy mounting mechanism for quick wall or
ceiling installation
•Internal antennas factory-optimized for
maximum RF performance
•Antenna take-os enable optional
accessory antenna attachment for 2.4GHz
and/or 5GHz operations

on the network, identify sources of
interference. Log alerts on channel quality
drop or overload
Product Highlights
•ProSAFE 802.11ac AP Wave 2 provides a theoretical connection rate of up to 2.6Gbps per radio—roughly double the rates
oered by today’s high-end 802.11ac access points
•Reliable wireless coverage with 4 streams of data based on 4x4 (Transmit and Receive) optimized internal antennas
•Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) increases eciency and capacity – enabling clients to utilize the RF spectrum much more
eciently by allowing multiple-AP-to client transmissions, beamforming, wider bandwidth, and improved encoding
•AirQual feature enables spectrum analysis and interference identification
•Centrally managed by ProSAFE Wireless Controllers
•2.5GBASE-T Multi-Gigabit support eliminates bottlenecks associated with standard Gigabit Ethernet (NBASE-T switch
required to obtain speeds higher than 1Gbps w/ a single port)
