The EnGenius Neutron EWS500AP Wall Plate Access Point provides in-room wireless, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and wired connectivity in a single high performance device installed onto a standard junction box. It can function as a stand-alone Access Point or part of a scalable Network Wireless Network Management solution and managed via a WLAN Controller Switch or centrally managed by ezMaster™ Network Management Software. The AP is easy-to-deploy, lowering the cost of wireless implementation for hotel guest rooms, student residences, retirement facilities, multi-tenant dwellings and classrooms.

Delivering high performance 2.4 GHz 802.11n wireless coverage with speeds to 300Mbps, an enhanced receive sensitivity MIMO and two (2) 4dBi internal antennas compliment its sleek low profile design ensuring it will not obstruct furniture placement as it blends with in-room décor.

For wired connectivity, the AP features four (4) Ethernet downlink ports including, three (3) 10/100Mbps ports to support in-room connectivity for IPTVs, networked minibars, printers or game consoles. One (1) 10/100Mbps 802.3af-compliant PoE port for powering VoIP phones directly through the AP without additional cabling, switch ports or power sourcing equipment. An additional passive RJ45 pass-through port and 110 punch-down block is available for phone or fax machine connections.
