II. 5GHz Band Core Advantages
2.1 Core Technical Features
802.11ax WiFi 6 Core Technologies
- 1024-QAM Modulation: 25% higher modulation efficiency compared to WiFi 5's 256-QAM, single-stream rate up to 1.2Gbps
- 160MHz Channel Width: Doubled channel bandwidth for maximum throughput in controlled interference environments
- OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access): Divides channels into sub-channels, enabling simultaneous transmission from multiple devices, significantly reducing latency
- TWT (Target Wake Time): Devices can enter sleep mode, reducing power consumption and signal interference
- 2×2 MIMO: Spatial diversity technology for doubled throughput and better interference resistance
2.2 5G ax Synergy — Perfect Fusion of Mature Spectrum and New Standard
5GHz Band + 802.11ax Standard = Reliable Choice for Professional Wireless Communications
① Global Compatibility and Interoperability
The 5GHz band is widely deployed worldwide with mature and stable regulatory frameworks. The YNW ax Series supports the full 5.15–5.85 GHz spectrum and is backward compatible with legacy 802.11n/ac devices, protecting customer investments. Whether upgrading existing networks or deploying new ones, seamless integration is guaranteed.
- Global Certifications: FCC, CE, IC, and other major market certifications
- Backward Compatibility: Supports 802.11a/n/ac/ax mixed networking
- Mature Ecosystem: Comprehensive ecosystem of antennas, accessories, and management platforms
② 2.5G PoE Port Eliminates Wired Bottlenecks
Traditional gigabit ports are the biggest bottleneck for 5GHz 802.11ax — the wireless side can reach 1500Mbps, but wired side is limited to 1000Mbps. The YNW ax Series comes standard with 2.5G PoE uplink ports, ensuring end-to-end throughput is not constrained. PoE OUT support simplifies remote deployments by powering peripherals.
- 2.5G PoE IN: 100/1000/2500 Base-T, 802.3at Active PoE
- Gigabit PoE OUT: Power for IPC or other devices, max 13W
- End-to-End High Throughput: Full 1500Mbps wireless throughput delivered to wired network
③ IP67 Protection and All-Metal Shielding Design
The corrosion-resistant metal enclosure achieves IP67 protection rating for reliable long-term operation in harsh outdoor environments. The all-metal housing also serves as a heat sink, enabling fanless passive cooling for stable operation across the full temperature range of -40°C to +65°C. When multiple devices are installed at the same location, the metal cavity effectively reduces RF coupling interference.
- IP67 Protection: Dustproof and waterproof, suitable for all outdoor weather conditions
- Wide Temperature Range: -40°C to +65°C, covering extreme cold to hot environments
- Surge Protection: EN61000-4-5, 6kV line-to-ground / 2kV line-to-line
