D-Link has unveiled one new addition to its range of Wireless AC products, helping network administrators cope with the ever increasing demands from more devices, higher traffic levels and greater performance expectations.

The Wireless AC1750 Simultaneous Dual-Band PoE Access Point (DAP-2695) provides enhanced dual-band performance to provide a more stable, secure and faster wireless connection. Furthermore, it can be configured to work in a number of modes for added deployment options.

"Wireless AC provides a range of benefits to users. As well as speeds comparable to a Gigabit wired network, Wireless AC ensures better coverage, more stable connectivity and more devices to be connected to the network. As such, it is starting to gain traction throughout homes and now businesses are starting to look for ways to harness these benefits for themselves," said Kevin Wen, President of D-Link Europe Ltd.

"Access points like these can help network administrators of small and medium businesses deliver all the benefits of Wireless AC to their network, allowing larger files to be transferred faster and data backed up wirelessly. Also the various deployment options mean that these devices can be used in a variety of scenarios – making them versatile and ensuring they can be adapted as business needs change."

The flagship Wireless AC1750 Simultaneous Dual-Band PoE Access Point allows network administrators to deploy a highly manageable and extremely robust simultaneous dual-band wireless network. All six antennas are detachable and can provide optimal wireless coverage with maximum speeds of up to 450Mbps over the 2.4GHz band and 1300Mbps over the 5GHz band.

It can also be used in multiple operation modes: as an access point, wireless distribution system (WDS) with access point, WDS/bridge or as a wireless client with WDS support. Network administrators are able to set up multiple units throughout a facility and configure them to bridge with one another while also providing network access to individual clients. As such the Wireless AC1750 Simultaneous Dual-Band PoE Access Point can be used to join networks between different buildings without the need to lay additional wiring.

This access point also incorporates advanced features such as load balancing when multiple units are deployed and as it supports Power other Ethernet (PoE), it can be connected and powered with a single Ethernet cable.

Administrators have the ability to virtually pool these devices, using the D-Link AP Manager II or D-View SNMP management module to configure, check and maintain multiple access points from a single location.

As well as the latest wireless standards, this access point offers total security and advanced management features including authentication features, wireless encryption, MAC address filtering, user limits and partitioning.

The Wireless AC1750 Simultaneous Dual-Band PoE Access Point (DAP-2695) is available now at a recommended retail price of € 299,99 including VAT.
