Secure and Reliable WLAN Connectivity
for Small- to Medium-scale Businesses
The ZyXEL NWA1100 Series is designed for small- and medium-sized businesses to extend
the existing wired networks. The ZyXEL NWA1100 Series consists of two models: NWA1100
and NWA1100-N Access Points (APs). The NWA1100-N is the 802.11n version of ZyXEL's
entry-level PoE AP with data rates of up to 300 Mbps, while the NWA1100 is an 802.11b/g
PoE AP with data rates up to 54 Mbps.
With the prevalence of the 802.11n standard, Wi-Fi is now fast enough to be considered as
the exclusive network standard for all office users, as such the ZyXEL NWA1100 Series is an
ideal solution that meets small business requirements. Featuring PoE support and multiple
operating modes, the NWA1100 Series provides the highest flexibility for WLAN
deployments.
Benefits
Multiple operating modes and PoE support for easy deployment
The NWA1100 Series has a 4-in-1 design consisting of AP, repeater, bridge and Wi-Fi client
operating modes to provide superior flexibility for WLAN network deployments.
By eliminating the need for AC power adapters, the PoE support of the NWA1100 Series makes it
easier than ever for users to overcome installation difficulties. ZyXEL's PoE switches and other
802.3af standard-based PoE devices can transmit power and data to the AP simultaneously
utilizing existing Ethernet wires.
Enhanced coverage and data throughput with 11n standard (NWA1100-N
only)
With the newly ratified 802.11n Wi-Fi standard, businesses can now take advantage of high-speed
wireless networking through the 11n-certified ZyXEL NWA1100-N. With the 11n standard and
MIMO technology, the NWA1100-N supports data rates of up to 300 Mbps and provides a wider
coverage with the same transmit power.
Multiple SSID for multiple application services (NWA1100-N only)
The NWA1100-N supports up to 4 SSIDs on one hardware platform, and this turns the unit into
several virtual APs. Businesses can take advantage of this technology to allow the APs to support
several applications such as public Internet access and inventory control.
SNMP management and WiFi-certified security
With a web-based configuration utility, SNMPv3 can be used to configure hundreds of APs with
optional ZyXEL Enterprise Network Center* (ENC) software. The NWA1100 Series is WiFi-certified
for enterprise-class security and IEEE interoperability to work as an ideal choice to establish an
easy-to-use wireless network in the workplace.
