Zyxel Wall-Plate Access Point Delivers High-Speed Connectivity in Hospitality Environments


Zyxel Communications, a leading provider of secure broadband networking, Internet access and connected home products, today announced that it has begun shipping the WAC5302D-S 802.11ac Wall-Plate Unified Access Point, a compact, high-performance wired and wireless networking solution designed for the unique connectivity demands of hotel environments.

The new WAC5302D-S features an enterprise-class 802.11ac access point with smart antenna and beamforming technologies that enables guests to easily log onto a reliable, high-speed wireless network that delivers speeds up to 1.2 Gbps. The WAC5302D-S also incorporates three Gigabit Ethernet ports, including one Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) port, for delivering in-room services over Smart TVs, VoIP phones and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

The WAC5302D-S can be easily mounted inconspicuously on an outlet box, wall or desk without the need for an additional mounting kit, making the WAC5302D-S an ideal wireless solution for supporting IP cameras in hallways, or printers and computers in a business center, while simultaneously providing the ubiquitous WiFi coverage that guests have come to expect throughout the property.

These days, a guest's satisfaction is largely based upon the reliability and speed of the in-room Internet connection," explained Shawn Rogers, Market Development Manager at Zyxel. "Our new WAC5302D-S allows hotels to provide guests with the reliable WiFi connectivity they expect by placing the network access in the room in a compact, inconspicuous housing that will not detract from the room's décor."
