ECW5212
802.11ac Dual-Band Adaptive MIMO (A-MIMO)
Smart Antenna Wireless Stand-alone Access Point
Product Overview
The ECW5212 is an indoor 802.11a/b/g/n/ac dual-band, dual-radio enterprise AP with A-MIMO smart antenna
technology. The AP is suitable for high-density and noisy environments, providing better coverage, improved
throughput, and more stable connectivity. The ECW5212 supports 802.3af PoE, which enables the AP to be powered
remotely by a PoE switch. An AC power adapter option is also included for locations where PoE is not available.
Key Features and Benefits
Wireless 802.11ac Technology
Through its adaptive-MIMO smart antenna array, the
ECW5212 can create up to 512 pattern combinations
per band that steer peaks and nulls over a
hemispherical coverage area. This significantly
improves coverage and throughput at the network
edge, while also increasing interference rejection. The
result is a stable wireless network with consistent
air-link quality and improved connection reliability.
A-MIMO Smart Antenna Key Benefits
■ Coverage-edge throughput improvement
■ Coverage-variety for high density multi-user throughput
improvement
■ Reduction of blind/dead spots
■ Provides stable and consistent air-link quality – connection
reliability
■ Cost-effective solution with competitive-edge performance
