 Achieve Maximum Throughput for Outdoor Wi-Fi Deployment
New generation of outdoor wireless solution, built in EnGenius EnJet technology, which is based on proprietary technology, allows each
client to send and receive data using pre-designated time slots scheduled by EnJet protocol, which can eliminate hidden node collisions
and maximize airtime efficiency. The data transmission between AP and clients can have noise immunity to prevent latency and have better
throughput and scalability.

EnGenius outdoor APs/CPEs built in EnJet technology, is specifically designed and engineered to network over great distance and to transfer
heavy data at consistence wireless speeds in point-to-point or point-to-multi-points deployments. The Intelligent QoS Priority is given to
voice/video for seamless streaming.

EnWiFi APP
Ideal deployment when initializing Wireless Access Points

EnGenius EnWiFi is a simple Wi-Fi management and configuration platform that is developed for EnGenius outdoor
and indoor WiFi devices. Users can easily configure their devices on-site and monitor the installed or deployed devices
on their smart phones or tablets.

The EnWifi APP facilitate the set-up of a single or a group of WiFi devices from a single interface and provides
real-time connection status. Simple diagnostic and site-survey tools allows installers to make deployment adjust
on-site and also help future easy maintenance.

Overview:

•  Configuring AP via mobile smart devices.

•  Managing a single device or a group of devices
•  Easy selection of different operating modes
•  Real-time monitoring on status of on-site wireless devices
•  Backup of configuration files

Large School Wireless Upgrade

The usage of mobile devices (tablets, laptops, etc.) continues to
rapidly grow and have cemented their lace as the new essential
technology tool for the education space since the early 2000s.

week and 38% say inadequate network infrastructure is one of the
greatest challenges to providing access to education technology
for their students.” - The State of Education Technology 2015.

More schools are implementing and/or upgrading their wireless
infrastructure in order to cater to the increasing demand of concur-
rent users, data throughput and to stay up to date with the latest
technology. In today’s society, a stable wireless connection is not
just an additional feature, but a necessity to be able to stay
connected with the rest of the world.

Smart Wi-Fi Solution for Small Office

Intro
Offices are spaces where people are working at a desk. Mostly they work with PC’s and they highly depend on reliable and secure connec-
tion with the data network. Nowadays a big part of users prefer to be connected wirelessly with their office PC and also with their company
and or private mobile device. Currently we see that 802.11n dual band Wi-Fi, is already a minimum requirement, and 11ac and even 11ac
wave 2 is preferable to ensure the investments are future proof.

Situation & Requirement

In this example we are highlighting a small office situation with less than 100 employ-
ees, one floor of a modern building with common indoor walls with low wireless
penetration. Data throughput is average for office users, but mandatory for continu-
ous workflow. Staff has limited movement to break- out- and meeting rooms.
Sometimes guest will enter the office and require basic internet access, preferably
separated from office data traffic. Discrete placement of ceiling mount Access Points
is preferable and it would be also nice if these devices would be powered by PoE for
easy installation

cater Wi-Fi for up to 40 users per radio within a

radius of about 30 meter in case of line of sight.

In this office definition we can assume that and

EAP1300 would be able penetrate one indoor
wall. Since EAP1300 access points are Wave 2
devices, they are very energy efficient and only
require 802.3af PoE power supply. This results in
a lower total power budget requirement when
calculating the required PoE switches.
