The Watchguard AP432 has a 4×4 radio module with eight internal omnidirectional antennas according to WiFi-6 standard and a PoE + port with up to 2.5 Gbit / s. This should allow it to reliably cover large indoor areas with WLAN and provide high bandwidths to every user in it.
WatchGuard has designed the AP432 especially for indoor areas with a high number of users. In conjunction with WPA3 encryption, the device also meets the requirements for dedicated security – regardless of the number of users, according to the manufacturer.
Like all other Watchguard access points, the AP432 can also be commissioned and managed via the Watchguard Cloud. Setup and administration of users, individual capture portals (captive portals) and remote VPN configurations could be made just as intuitively as information on the device status can be retrieved. The WatchGuard cloud environment allows easy scaling from single to unlimited access points at different locations. The access points could be grouped in different ways across a distributed network, for example by location, building, customer and remote user. In this way, guidelines could be consistently adhered to.
