Enetrprise Class Network

Enetrprise Class Network

The foundation and backbone of any Home Automation system is the Network it works on. Below is an Enterprise class WAP by Pakedge and a Range Extender by Luxul Wireless that can extend your range by up to 10,000 sq or more. This network system also provides extreme stability provided you also have a very good quality router. I suggest the Apple Extreme for its reliability and ease of use. If you need additional ports just add an “Unmanaged” switch or hub and your ready to go. Because power is sent over Cat5 to the Pakedge WAP and the Luxul Wireless extender, placement becomes very easy and simplified.

Check out the specs below for additional information.

The WAP by Pakedge
wap-w3-main
On-Wall 802.11 a, b, & g Ultra High Power Wireless Access Point With PoE
The WAP-W3 is an Enterprise Class ultra, high power wireless access point that is wall-mountable.

Continuing the Pakedge tradition of consistent RF output and long-term reliability, the Pakedge WAP-W3 is an Enterprise-Class, ultra high power wireless access point that is wall-mountable or can be set on a flat surface. The WAP-W3 features adjustable power output/range. We optimized the WAP-W3 for use with touch panels and other control devices without sacrificing data throughput.

The WAP-W3 not only supports 802.11b/g (2.4GHz), but 802.11a (5.0GHz) as well. On the 5.0GHz spectrum, the WAP-W3 supports all FCC allowable channels, including DFS. Designed for the custom installer, the WAP-W3 is networked and powered by a single Cat5e cable. In addition, it can be powered by most PoE switches on the market today because it is fully 802.3af compliant.

The WAP-W3 housing is made of a rugged, heavy gauge aluminum that can handle any interior environment such as an attic or a wiring closet. At the same time, it is sleek and unobtrusive enough to appear in any formal setting.
