4ipnet OWL550 is an enterprise-grade, concurrent dual-band 802.11ac wave 2 outdoor access point, designed specifically to withstand harsh weather conditions by IP68 rated, rust-resistant plastic housing in outdoor and industrial environments. The OWL550 features two 2x2:2 MU-MIMO radios that can each transmit data to multiple clients simultaneously, and together have a combined data rate of up to 1.2 Gbps. OWL550's integration with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) also enables new value-added applications such as location tracking, iBeacon, and other location-based services. Besides, with a built-in GPS receiver, IT administrators can easily keep track of the location of all OWL550s deployed, simplifying the maintenance task and adding a new potential of location related services.
When OWL550 is deployed and centrally managed by 4ipnet WHG Controller, additional value-added applications such as bandwidth control, user authentication, and captive portals can be used to provide an ideal solution for all types of businesses.
