MikroTik cAP ac

Elevate your networking experience with the MikroTik cAP ac, a dual-band wireless access point designed for seamless integration on ceilings or walls. This device is crafted for discreet placement, making it ideal for visually sensitive environments like offices, hotels, and airports. The low-profile design ensures a clean and professional appearance, strategically optimizing coverage in open spaces and reducing signal interference. The cAP ac combines power with aesthetics, featuring a sleek enclosure that seamlessly blends into any environment. The customizable mode button allows you to tailor the device to your preferences – from turning off all lights and sounds to launching specific RouterOS scripts. Additionally, the package includes two enclosures, giving you the freedom to choose the design that best suits your taste.

Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, including one with PoE output, the cAP ac facilitates high-speed wired connectivity for efficient data transfer between the access point and connected devices. This feature is crucial for streaming high-definition content, supporting multimedia applications, and accommodating devices with high bandwidth requirements. The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) output streamlines installations, providing power to other connected devices like IP cameras or additional access points through the same cable, eliminating clutter and enhancing flexibility in device placement.

Your network management will benefit from the cAP ac's advanced capability to integrate into a centralized hEX PoE setup. Utilizing the Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, the cAP ac eliminates the need for separate power sources, paving the way for simplified installations and reduced cable clutter.

In conjunction with the hEX PoE serving as a CAPsMAN server, the cAP ac takes network control to new heights. CAPsMAN (Controlled Access Point system Manager) in MikroTik RouterOS provides centralized management and configuration for multiple wireless access points (CAPs). With CAPsMAN's centralized management, network administrators gain efficient control over all access points, enabling the synchronization of configurations and settings across the network. This efficient configuration management, along with CAPsMAN's traffic control features like load balancing, ensures optimal wireless network performance. Furthermore, the integration of streamlined configurations enhances the user experience by simplifying the setup and management of network devices. With user-friendly interfaces, automation tools, and centralized control facilitated by CAPsMAN, network administrators can efficiently manage and configure multiple devices from a central location. Streamlined configurations not only reduce the manual effort required for configuration but also optimize features and settings for efficient network performance, minimizing the likelihood of errors or misconfigurations.

Complementing the chipset's processing capabilities, the cAP ac is equipped with 128 MB of RAM, providing a spacious workspace for actively running processes and applications. This ample memory capacity allows the device to smoothly handle multiple concurrent operations, ensuring a responsive and efficient networking experience in indoor environments. Further enhancing its capabilities, the cAP ac incorporates 16 MB of storage memory, functioning as flash storage for the device. This storage space is dedicated to storing essential elements such as firmware, operating system data, and configuration files. This non-volatile memory ensures that critical data is retained even when the device is powered off, facilitating firmware upgrades and preserving configuration data.
