Description
Product Specifications
The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 is a wireless access point designed for enterprise networks that require high-performance connectivity. This access point uses the IEEE 802.11ac standard, which allows for faster wireless speeds and more efficient use of the available spectrum. The device supports both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and can provide a maximum throughput of 1.90Gbit/s. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the features and capabilities of the HPE JW172-61001 AP-224.
IEEE 802.11ac Standard
The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 uses the IEEE 802.11ac standard, which is the latest Wi-Fi standard for wireless networking. This standard offers several advantages over the previous IEEE 802.11n standard. One of the primary benefits is the increased speed, which can provide a maximum data rate of up to 6.93Gbit/s. This speed is achieved by using wider channels (up to 160MHz) and more efficient modulation schemes.
The IEEE 802.11ac standard also supports multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), which allows multiple devices to simultaneously transmit and receive data from the access point. This feature can significantly improve the overall performance of the network by reducing the wait time for each device to send or receive data.
2.4GHz / 5GHz Bands
The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 supports both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, which allows it to provide connectivity to a wide range of devices. The 2.4GHz band has a longer range and can penetrate walls and other obstacles more effectively than the 5GHz band. However, it is also more prone to interference from other wireless devices, such as cordless phones and Bluetooth devices.
The 5GHz band offers faster speeds and is less congested than the 2.4GHz band. This band is ideal for high-bandwidth applications, such as video streaming and online gaming. However, it has a shorter range than the 2.4GHz band and is less effective at penetrating obstacles.
1.90Gbit/s Throughput
The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 can provide a maximum throughput of 1.90Gbit/s, which is achieved by using multiple spatial streams and wide channels. The device supports up to three spatial streams, which allows it to transmit and receive multiple data streams simultaneously. This feature can significantly improve the overall performance of the network by reducing the wait time for each device to send or receive data.
The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 also supports channel bonding, which allows it to combine multiple channels to create a wider channel. This feature can increase the available bandwidth and provide faster speeds for high-bandwidth applications.
Advanced Features
The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 includes several advanced features that make it suitable for enterprise networks. These features include:
- Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) – The device can prioritize traffic based on application type, user, or device, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.
- Flexible deployment options – The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 can be deployed in several configurations, including standalone, cluster, and controller-managed modes. This flexibility allows it to adapt to the needs of any enterprise network.
- Comprehensive security – The device includes several security features, including WPA2-Enterprise authentication, 802.1X port-based access control, and rogue AP detection.
- Easy management – The HPE JW172-61001 AP-224 can be managed using the Aruba Central cloud-based management platform, which provides a unified view of the entire network.
