WatchGuard announces the availability of AP322, that brings secure Wi-Fi to the outdoors. This secure Wi-Fi access point is ideal for stadiums, schools, outdoor cafes, shipping docks, warehouses, and more. Its rugged, IP67-rated enclosure protects the access point from the wind, rain, dust, and cold weather, while six integrated antennas operate with three spatial streams per radio to deliver broad, fast, and reliable Wi-Fi coverage.

Key Specifications of the product:

Up to 450 Mbps for 2.4 GHz
Up to 1.3 Gbps for 5 GHz
802.11ac Wave1 support
3x3 MIMO with three spatial streams per radio
IP67 compliant exterior to withstand outdoor weather conditions
Six integrated omnidirectional antennas
Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
PoE+ powered and fully operational

The AP322, like all of WatchGuard’s new generation access points, can be managed by either WatchGuard’s Wi-Fi Cloud platform or the Gateway Wireless Controller (GWC) found inside of every Firebox appliance.

Ease into Wi-Fi with a lightweight Wi-Fi access feature set and when ready, the AP322 can be upgraded with a Wi-Fi Cloud subscription to enable all these features:

Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS)

Where other Wi-Fi platforms have tried and failed, use Wi-Fi Cloud’s patented WIPS to defend your airspace from Wi-Fi hacking without the risk of accidentally shutting down your neighbor’s Wi-Fi and running into legal trouble.

Location Analytics

Bridge the gap between online businesses and the physical, brick-and-mortar. Empower business owners, sales and marketing teams with location-based data on metrics such as dwell times, new vs. repeat visitors, and demographics on gender and age.

Captive Portals

Provide unique experiences for guests and customers and turn Wi-Fi into a key marketing tool that transforms visits into customer touchpoints, increases fans on social networks, and allows for continued engagement after people leave.

Cloud Scalability

Easily scale from one to an unlimited number of APs across multiple locations without worrying about the hardware limitations of legacy controller infrastructure. APs can be grouped in many ways including location, buildings and floors, for easy management and policy configuration.
