Cambium CNPILOT E501S Outdoor EU | Access point | AC MIMO, 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 2x RJ45 1000Mb/s, without PoE Injector

Cambium cnPilot e501S is an external Access Point business class (enterprise outdoor) from Cambium Networks. It is ideal for high density and extensive coverage areas, such as industrial plants, educational institutions, businesses, hotels, parks, recreational areas or other outdoor environments that need WLAN access points cost-effectively and managed from the controller level.
All access points Cambium cnPilot classes Enterprise 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 on the e501S eliminates the need for an additional power circuit by using PoE 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.

In a home or office there is, for example, one router that provides the Internet as far as the antennas allow, and elements that may hinder it, i.e. walls or buildings. A mesh system is made up of many such routers that cover a much larger area, because they connect with each other and form one large network, and the user has the impression that he or she is connecting all the time with one access device.
CAMBIUM CNPILOT E501S has 2 10/100/1000BaseTX (RJ45) LAN ports with Gigabit Ethernet standard and maximum wireless transmission speed up to 1200 mbps.
