However, capacitycontinues to be a challenge, namely,supporting a large number of concurrentusers. This requirement is particularlyacute for businesses, where very highthroughput to each individual devicemay not be the paramount requirement.Rather, it is providing network connectivityto a large number of client devices, withgood throughput, stable connection,and robust responses to environmentalchanges that is most important.With the updated WiFi 6 (802.11ax)technology such as OFDMA, upstreamand downstream MU-MIMO, andincreased speeds, coverage, and capacity,you can feel confident that you’re gettingthe highest performance WiFi that’s set foryears to come! Plus the assurance that youcan now add more connected devices onyour business WiFi network without anyslowdowns or blind spots.The WAX610, a WiFi 6 Business AccessPoint, combined with Insight, helps smalland medium businesses with an easy wayto manage their network without an ITexpert, providing great WiFi connectionleaving each of their customers satisfiedas a network user. NETGEAR empowersbusinesses with an all new WiFi 6 BusinessAccess Point for high performance andhigh coverage for the years to come.The WAX610Y is the outdoor version of theWAX610. WAX610Y is waterproof and dustproof protected by a P2i nano-coating andmeets the IP55 rating to withstand the rainand outdoor atmosphere.PAGE 1 of 8
