DWL-8620APE
Wireless AC2600 Wave 2 Dual-Band Unied Access Point
with External Antenna
Centrally Managed
When working in conjunction with D-Link Wireless Controllers, the
DWL-8620APE can be centrally managed. This allows for a large number of
access points to be deployed and managed easily and eciently. Once the APs
are discovered by the controller, the administrator can push the conguration
to them as a group, instead of conguring each access point individually.
Additionally, Radio Frequency (RF) resource management
1
allows wireless
coverage to be managed centrally, providing the best coverage possible for
wireless clients.
Automatic Radio Frequency (RF) Management
When access points are deployed in close proximity to each other, there may
be interference between channels if RF management is not implemented.
When the DWL-8620APE senses a neighbour nearby, it will automatically
select a non-interfering channel. This greatly reduces RF interference and
will allow the administrator to deploy APs more densely. To further minimise
interference, when a nearby AP is on the same channel, the DWL-8620APE will
automatically lower its transmission power
1
. When, for whatever reason, the
nearby AP is no longer present, the access point will increase its transmission
power to expand coverage.
Advanced Wireless Features
The DDWL-8620APE support 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced
throughput and better performance of time-sensitive trac like VoIP and
streaming DSCP. It also supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), so in the event of
network congestion, time-sensitive trac can be given priority ahead of other
trac. Furthermore, when a number of access points are in close proximity
to each other, an access point will refuse new association requests once its
resources are fully utilised, allowing the association request to be picked up
by a neighbouring unit, distributing the load over multiple APs. Band steering
technology enables the DWL-8620APE to intelligently place clients on the
optimal wireless band to avoid congestion and allows for smooth streaming
of video, seamless browsing, and fast downloads for mobile devices. Airtime
Fairness ensures that equal airtime is given to each client, providing increased
performance even if slower devices are connected. 802.11k Fast Roaming

is
also supported, which allows the wireless client to roam seamlessly between
access points.
