Cambium cnPilot e501S is an external Access Point business class (enterprise outdoor) from Cambium Networks. It is ideal for demanding applications in high density and extensive coverage environments such as industrial plants, educational institutions, businesses, hotels, parks, recreational areas or other outdoor environments that need WLAN access points that are cost effective and managed from the controller level.
All access points Cambium cnPilot classes Enterprise outdoor offer roaming controller-less, dynamic channel selection, automatic transmit power control, beam control and many other functions necessary for easy Wi-Fi.
The presented device is characterized by fast configuration of multi-stage mesh networks by assigning one radio unit (e.g. 5 GHz) for mesh backhauling or by using both bands for simultaneous access by customers.
Port Aux PoE in the e501S outdoor will eliminate the need for an additional power circuit by using the PoE injector, allowing you to connect 802.3af compliant cameras or PMP450 or ePMP subscriber modules to create Wi-Fi hotspots with wireless backhaul.
Dual Active/Standby memory banks provide higher availability. The e501S can store both software versions and use a working version if needed, reducing the need for service visits and increasing network availability time. The kit has a standard 3 year warranty.
