Nokia AirScale Wi-Fi Access Point AC400i

High Performance Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Point with 802.11ac Wave2 and 4x4 MIMO

Nokia Wi-Fi Access Point AC400i is a compact, robust, high performance, highly
secure Indoor Access Point that delivers lowest cost per bit while assuring great
wireless experience for end users. It provides simplified yet secured means of
Wi-Fi network access for a multitude of client devices ranging from legacy to
latest. The Access Point utilizes Hotspot 2.0 technology to offer seamless
cellular-like experience over Wi-Fi. It also presents flexible options for traffic
forwarding and can provide uninterrupted roaming across access points under a
mobility zone. The QoS support helps establish a QoS-aware network that
smartly handles priorities of different types of traffic such as VoWiFi. Fast and
easy network rollouts of these Access Points can be realized through plug & play.
