About EnGenius
Networking solutions provider EnGenius offers equipment and solutions for wireless communications infrastructure for both commercial and residential users. Costa Mesa, California serves as the company’s corporate headquarters. It was established in 1999. Access points, wireless bridges, routers, switches, and network cameras are just a few of the wireless networking products that EnGenius has to offer. These items are made to give families and businesses dependable, fast wireless connectivity.

Introduction

The EnGenius Neutron Series suite of Managed Indoor Access Points is enhanced-powered, long-range, Single or Dual Band concurrent Wireless 802.11a/b/g/n or 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Access Points. They are designed to operate in numerous environments; from large homes, small and medium-sized businesses, multiple-floor offices, hotels, and other venues, to larger enterprise deployments.

Their extra power and long-range characteristics make them a cost-effective alternative to ordinary Access Points that don’t have the range or reach to connect to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large hotspot or business network.

The Neutron Series marks a new performance breakthrough for Indoor Wireless Managed Access Points. Wireless users with 802.11b/g/n or 802.111b/g/n/ac* laptops, tablets, and other devices, who need to stream HD video or transfer files will find this powerful Access Point at an affordable price point and more than up to those tasks.

The EWS210AP is an 802.11b/g/n Wireless Managed 802.1n 2×2 high-powered, long-range, single radio Indoor Access Point with speeds up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band that functions as part of an EnGenius Neutron Series Wireless Management Solution or as a stand-alone AP.

The EWS310AP and EWS320AP deliver up to 6x faster wireless speeds than legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless devices. Even though the EWS310AP and EWS320AP have been designed and engineered for heavy traffic and demanding business environments, in larger housing environments as they can efficiently extend the wireless range of an existing home router. This makes it especially ideal in architecturally-challenging structures, providing whole-home connectivity.

For more robust needs,theEWS360APoffersupto450Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band and 1300 Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency band for faster file transfers and smoother video streaming, enabling it to deliver AC speeds and performance. Its high transmit power on each band provides more than twice the wireless coverage over mainstream competitors and enables the wireless signal for faster connectivity to client devices and enables the wireless signal to penetrate floors, ceilings, and walls. Its Internal 3D sectorized MIMO antenna array design provides better reception and performance as clients change their orientation.

All Neutron Series Access Points can operate as standalone Access Points connecting to third-party PoE-capable Switches but more control and versatile management of an Access Point is achievable when it is part of an EnGenius Neutron Series wireless network management solution because the AP includes firmware that enables it to be immediately discovered, configured, monitored and managed from a compatible Neutron Series PoE+ Layer 2 Switch (EWS5912FP, EWS7928P, EWS7928FP or EWS7952FP).

This capability enables IT managers to deploy and manage up to 50 Neutron Series Access Points, allowing for simplified management from one browser-based interface including simultaneous firmware upgrades, monitoring, bandwidth steering, and many other features that can be reset or reconfigured from the convenience of the IT manager’s desktop.

*Some features are available only on certain models. Please refer to the comparison chart to determine your Access Point’s capabilities and features. All Neutron Series Access Points must be connected to a Neutron Series compatible Switch to provide full management features.
