Overview

802.11ac in-room performance for hospitality and higher education

The AP122 is the first wall plate access point specifically designed to meet the ever-increasing mobile data needs of hotel guests and resident college and university students. With gigabit- data rates, the AP122 is perfectly suited for in-room deployment needs of the hotel, cruise line and higher-education residence-hall markets.

Designed to be placed in any location flush to a wall utilizing a standard junction box, the AP122 can be installed by standard service personnel using existing CAT5/6 cabling connected from a standard wall junction box. For wired connectivity, it features two 10/100 BASE-T switch ports to support a range of in-room IP device and user connectivity options. Additionally, one of the wired ports can operate as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE Out port offering up to 13 watts of power, capable of powering devices such as IP telephones. This reduces costs in additional cabling, switch ports, and power sourcing equipment. An additional pass-through port allows connectivity for digital phones and a USB port offers options for future uses. The AP122 is built to provide years of trouble-free operation and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

With guest surveys commonly ranking Wi-Fi as the most requested guest amenity for the hospitality industry, ensuring a high-quality mobile experience has never been more critical. Like other Fortinet access points, the AP122 integrates seamlessly with our Network Manager, Mobile Connect, and other application solutions to bring intelligent management and resilient wireless services to your network. The AP122 is ideal for supporting IP-based services such as VoIP, IPTV, high-speed Internet access and in-room device connectivity. With Fortinet organizations can easily offer tiered services to different users, differentiating guests, employees, students and facility.

Additionally, Fortinet’s single-channel option within the Mobile FLEX platform uniquely allows the AP122 to support pervasively, full channel 802.11ac in real-world deployments, which more than double the data rate over legacy 802.11n solutions. This architecture also greatly simplifies RF coverage planning and significantly reduces wireless LAN (WLAN) deployment costs.
