At the end of May, Duxbury Networking is launching its Duxbury WiFi range of wireless access points (APs) and point-to-point (PTP) bridges to meet the demand for cost-effective APs and bridges.
The new range will include:
- WiFi 5 and WiFi 6
- Indoor (ceiling mounted) and outdoor options
- Wireless point-to-point and point-to-multi-point (PTMP) bridges
- 5GHz and a dual band option
- Outdoor units
The indoor APs in the range include:
- 3 x WiFi 6 options with AX1800 and AX3600 speeds. The top of the range AP will ship with a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, the other two with 1Gbps ports. Model references are DUX880AP, DUX840AP and DUX820AP.
- 2 x WiFi 5 options with AC1200 speed, capable of supporting 128 maximum users per AP. Wave 2 is supported on both the DUX240AP and DUX420AP access points.
The outdoor AP range includes:
- 1 x WiFi 6 AP (DUX840AP) supporting AX1800 speeds
- 1 x WiFi 5 AP (DUX420APO) supporting AC1200 speeds
The PTP and PTMP bridge range includes:
- One dual band bridge (DUX2200CPE), with AC1200 speeds supported
- Two 5GHz bridges (DUX512CPE and DUX450CPE) supporting 900Mbps speeds. 14dBi panel antennas are built into the bridges.
“All the products will be POE powered but can also be powered using an optional 12V power supply. Initially the products will support a free, but very basic, cloud management system. We will add wireless controllers to the product portfolio in the second half of the year, which will offer more advanced features. We are also currently investigating the possibility of hosting our own local cloud servers in South Africa,” says Tobie van Schalkwyk, product manager for NETGEAR at Duxbury Networking.
