Powerful WAP-C3 from Pakedge is Ideal for Touch Panels & Long Distance

Burlingame, CA - Pakedge Device & Software trumpeted its latest masterpiece this Summer with the WAP-C3. This Enterprise-Class, ultra high power, wireless access point installs directly in the ceiling and comes packed with enhanced features. For ideal placement and for consistent, long range performance, the WAP-C3 sets the bar.

Custom Installers love longer range with touch panels
"When we boast about the WAP-C3 standing head-and-shoulders above others in the field, we're being quite literal," remarks Victor Pak, President and Co-Founder of Pakedge, referencing the WAP-C3's in-ceiling position. "Custom installers get great results from the new WAP-C3. They recommend us because of the extra long distance the WAP-C3 gets. And they especially like what we've done to make the WAP-C3 compatible with touch panels." This new feature, Pakedge's XTP touch panel mode, ensures excellent connectivity between the WAP-C3 and most electronic wireless touch panels and personal wireless devices on the market.

Highest power and sensitivity, longer range
Because the WAP-C3 is feature-rich and uniquely installed over-head, this new offering from Pakedge defies the barriers for wireless networking. The WAP-C3 has the highest power output rating with almost 28 dBm of power output (30 dBm = 1.0 Watt). The WAP-C3 puts longer range on the agenda without risking through-put capabilities.

802.11a, b, & g
One of the most exciting features of the new WAP-C3 is its expanded spectrum capabilities. Its dual band operation means the WAP-C3 supports both 802.11a and 802.11b/g. In addition, the WAP-C3 sets the mind at ease with simple installs, intuitive configuration, and a tight connection right out of the box. The power output can be adjusted using the WAP-C3's web interface to control coverage and promote network security.

"This one is our baby. We struggled to engineer the WAP-C3 to perform smoother, function easier, and go even farther than anything else you can buy," says Nickolas Phillips, Vice President of Engineering and Design for Pakedge Device & Software. "As soon as you fire this one up and see what it can do, you'll be as proud of the C3 as we are!"

The WAP-C3 is found exclusively through authorized Pakedge retailers who specialize in custom electronics, home automation, and computer network installation.

MORE FACTS ON THE WAP-C3

* The WAP-C3 requires only one Category 5e cable due to its "Power-over-Ethernet," or PoE, engineering. Using PoE eliminates the need for a separate power cable as well as an electrical outlet near the access point, resulting in a simplified, lower cost installation. The WAP-C3's PoE is fully compatible with 802.3af standards and can be used with most PoE devices on the market. The WAP-C3 also features circuit protectors that will disconnect power if the LAN cable is shorted.

* The WAP-C3 supports 802.11a, b, & g. On the 802.11a 5.0 GHz spectrum, the WAP-C3 supports all FCC allowable channels including DFS, Dynamic Frequency Selection.

* In either the kitchen or the attic, the WAP-C3's tough aluminum housing and smooth, attractive cover allow the WAP-C3 to be installed in both highly visible areas and demanding interior environments. The WAP-C3 minimizes interference, maximizes cooling, and looks great in any setting.

* WAP-C3 slides into ceiling mount easily to replace Pakedge legacy in-ceiling and in-wall products with no extra effort.
