A 2.5G port makes the EAP670 ideal for adding to a multi-gigabit network and unlocks the full speed potential of Wi-Fi 6. The unit can be powered over Ethernet by using PoE (802.3at). This makes it easier to deploy in parts of a building where there’s no power outlet. For those not using PoE, TP-Link bundles a 12V DC adapter in the price.
The new Omada EAP610-Outdoor is a wireless access point that’s fully weatherproofed to IP67. It can withstand operating temperatures from -22°F to 158 °F and is protected against 6KV of lightning protection. These protective ratings mean the EAP610-Outdoor can be located almost anywhere outside and so is ideal for use in sports clubs, open-air pools, outdoor restaurants etc.
The EAP610-Outdoor offers fast 1.8 Gbps Wi-Fi 6 speeds and long-range transmission up to a radius of 800ft. A dual-antenna design and high-power amplifier along with enhanced security features safeguard user networks. Powered by 48V/0.5A Passive PoE (PoE adapter included) or 802.3af PoE, the EAP610-Outdoor has a simple mounting design that makes it easy and convenient to deploy virtually anywhere. Thanks to built-in mesh technology, the EAP610-Outdoor can provide complete coverage of very large outdoor areas simply by adding extra units.
Omada’s Software-Defined Networking (SDN) platform integrates network devices – including access points, switches and gateways – providing a centralized place for managing the entire network from the cloud. TP-Link’s Omada makes it possible to build a highly scalable network controlled by a single interface. Seamless wireless and wired connections are provided which makes the system ideal for use in hospitality, education, retail, offices and many more business settings.
Pricing & Availability: The EAP610-Outdoor is priced at $129.99 and will be available from mid-June 2022. The EAP670 is priced at $149.99 and will be available from May 16, 2022. Both access points will be available for purchase via Amazon.
