FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- D-Link today announced the new Wireless PoE Outdoor Access Point (DAP-3320). Available now, the DAP-3320 is built to withstand outdoor environments, and expands the coverage and signal strength of any wireless network. Offering a high output power design, Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, extensive manageability, versatile operation modes, and solid security enhancements, the Wireless PoE Outdoor Access Point provides small- to medium-sized business and enterprise environments with a business-class solution for deploying a wireless network.
Equipped with high-performance 802.11n wireless connectivity, the DAP-3320 delivers wireless signal rates of up to 300 mbps1 using the 2.4 GHz band, and a built-in 2dBi omni antenna2 ensures the wireless signal will cover a wide area. The Wireless PoE Outdoor Access point can be used as a wireless bridge for an outdoor IP camera – removing the need for expensive cabling and trenching.
