bandwidth offers 5x more capacity than standard 2.4 GHz to ensure everyone in
your office or home is well connected.
Antenna Diversity
More reliable home wide, office wide coverage.
Expect consistent and strong signal strength no matter where or how a PC is
situated. It’s like having more than one ear. With only one, you don’t hear well
when you’re turned the wrong way.
Business Class
Grow without adding cost
5 GHz offers at least 20 non-overlapping channels around the world. There are
