Organizations today are finding that offering wireless connections is becoming a must. And as the need for wireless connections increases in demand, so does a need for new wireless access points that are more practical than other standard access points have been.
For this reason, HD Communications (
News -
Alert) Corp. has introduced the HD24613, a new wireless access point that installs right into the wall using a gang box and with a standard CAT5 Ethernet
cable for both power and data.
The new in-wall access point is expected to begin shipping by the end of the month and will sell via the company's Website hdwifi.com, for $199.
Don Davis, President and CEO of HD Communications Corp. explained in a statement to the press, "there have been other in-wall access points offered by others but they are too big, too expensive, and often required additional proprietary equipment to use them. We just made it simple, requiring only a PoE injector which we supply with the HD24613."
"Hotels, motels, schools, hospitals, businesses, and homes can now replace their standard in-wall network jack with our new in-wall access point," also said Davis.
For organizations that are looking to offer both wired and wireless options, the HD24613 gives them the ability to have both.
"The HD24613 has an RJ-45 connector on the front of the unit so a user will not lose their wired connection while obtaining a wireless connection in each room," Davis stated.
According to a news release, the company also offers a low-voltage install ring as an option and for large installations, "a PoE switch is available to support up to 24 in-wall access points."
