The IP-COM EW12 is an AC2600 tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi system designed for offices, hotels, restaurants, and commercial environments. It delivers combined wireless speeds of up to 2600 Mbps across 2.4GHz and dual 5GHz bands, with a dedicated 1300 Mbps backhaul link for communication between Mesh nodes. Featuring seamless roaming, Beamforming, Gigabit Ethernet ports, and cloud management, the EW12 helps provide consistent wireless coverage across larger areas
Full Technical Description
The IP-COM EW12 is a tri-band wireless Mesh router and access point designed to expand Wi-Fi coverage without requiring Ethernet cabling between every node. Using IP-COM True Mesh technology, multiple EW12 devices can form a distributed wireless network to help eliminate weak-signal areas.
Its dedicated 5GHz backhaul provides a wireless link of up to 1300 Mbps between Mesh nodes, while the other wireless bands provide connectivity for client devices. Support for 802.11ac Wave 2, Beamforming, and fast roaming helps maintain reliable wireless connectivity as users move around the network.
