Hirschmann IT Dragonfly Enterprise Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

Hirschmann IT Dragonfly Enterprise Wi-Fi 6 Access Point

Hirschmann IT Dragonfly series Wi-Fi 6 certified access point is the last puzzle for the Hirschmann IT

enterprise network solution.

Dragonfly Wi-Fi 6 access point has indoor and outdoor version. All models  support 2.4GHz & 5GHz

dual GE uplink, OFDMA, MU-MIMO and all sort of Wi-Fi 6 features that can deliver more capacity for

bandwidth with less latency, which is ideal choice for your high-quality wireless requirement.

Featuring enhanced WLAN technology with RF Radio Dynamic Adjustment, a distributed control Wi-Fi

architecture with unified access secure network admission control, built in application intelligence and

analytics, making it ideal for enterprises wireless solution. All DAP models except DAP620 has integrated

with BLE5/Zigbee (802.15.4), making it ideal for broad scope of IoT endpoints and applications.

Plug-and-Play Deployment

The DAP  Series works in a fully redundant cluster architecture to provide simplified plug-and-play deployments.

One single access point (AP) cluster is an autonomous system that consists of a group of APs and a virtual

controller, which is performed by a selected access point for cluster management. One AP cluster supports up

to 255APs

The access point cluster architecture ensures simplified and quick deployment. Once the first AP is configured

using the configuration wizard, the remaining APs in the network will get online automatically with updated

configuration. This ensures that the whole network is up and operational within a few minutes.

Network Management Platform deployment

All Drgonfly APs can be managed by DAC (Dragonfly Access Point Virtual Controller). APs is managed as

one or more AP Groups (a logical grouping of one or more access points). The DAC is a visualized, user

friendly and hardware free management platform. It supports WLAN management together with integrated

authentication server which helps define authentication strategy and policy enforcement for Employees and

Guest devices. The network administrator can obtain a comprehensive overview of all running applications on

the network and apply adequate control to optimize the network performance for mission critical applications.

DAC Management platform provides advanced options for RF Management, as well as WIDS/WIPS for

intrusion detection and prevention.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Features

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) allows enterprises to deliver high performance wireless LAN services with increased

throughput, enabling more clients in dense environments. Furthermore, it provides high power efficiency for

Internet of Things (IoT) devices, while it remains fully backward compatible with existing 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac

deployments.  Some of the key features enabled on DAP series are:

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) enables more clients to simultaneously operate

in the same channel, therefore improved efficiency, latency, and throughput. OFDMA can simultaneously

address multiple clients in both directions downlink (DL) and uplink (UL). OFDMA is extremely effective for

lower latency applications with mass clients such as voice and video transmission.

Multi-user multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO) allows more data to be transferred at once

and enables a single access point to handle a larger number of concurrent clients.

1024 quadrature amplitude modulation mode (1024-QAM)

boosting peak data-rates by as much as 25 %.

BSS Coloring improves spatial reuse in dense environments by providing a mechanism for color

coding different overlapping BSS’s, allowing more simultaneous transmissions.

Extended Range (ER) provides increased coverage in scenarios where receiving side encounters

high path loss and channel delay spread, especially in outdoor environments.

Target wake time (TWT) improves power efficiency for Wi-Fi 6 devices. This capability lets client

devices to sleep much longer, and wake up to less contention, extending the battery life of smart

phones, IoT sensors, and other devices.
