ENS1200
Operating on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands and supporting 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
standards, the ENS1200 features wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz and
866 Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency bands and a Gigabit port for connecting to 802.3at-
capable PoE Switches. The ENS1200 is built with a higher signal strength and sensitivity
than other Access Points in its class allowing for fewer Access Points required in a
deployment. These specications assist in reducing dead zones in a deployed WLAN and
help boost received signal quality on both ends of the AP as well as client devices in the
network.
The ENS1200 can be congured in a number of different modes such as Access Point,
WDS AP and WDS Bridge modes which give VARs, system integrators, IT managers, and
installers the ability to congure the device for discrete functionality based on their unique
network topology or scalable needs. Unlike ordinary outdoor APs, the ENS1200 can be
used in a number of congurations and supports connectivity to and from other outdoor
client bridges in multiple-building campus deployments.
For secure network congurations, the ENS1200 includes wireless encryption standards
such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) Encryption and IEEE 802.1X with
RADIUS. MAC Address Filtering is also included allowing network administrators to allow
or deny network access to clients devices (computers, tablet PCs, NAS, smartphones,
etc.) according to their MAC addresses.
The ENS1200 supports Fast Roaming for clients authenticated to a RADIUS server. This
means that employees can be constantly connected to the network – whether they are
warehouse workers scanning and capturing barcode information, employees on Wi-Fi
phone calls while walking to meetings on another part of a corporate campus, healthcare
professionals capturing patient information on mobile devices, or security personnel who
need uninterrupted video surveillance on a mobile device when they are alerted to and
making their way to the location of an incident.

Dual Band Wireless AC1200
Outdoor Access Point
Extend your wireless coverage to the outdoors with the high-powered
ENS1200, an 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2x2 long-range Dual Band Wireless AC1200
Outdoor Access Point with speeds up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz and
866 Mbps on the 5 GHz frequency bands that functions as a stand-alone
Access Point or as part of an EnGenius Electron Series Solution of mix-and-
match business-class networking products. Congurable in a number of
operation modes, the ENS1200 can support a wide variety of applications,
making it ideal for small-to-medium sized companies that wish to provide
outdoor access to the company network for their employees or to provide
network and/or Internet connectivity via a company’s existing broadband
connection.

In addition, the ENS1200 employs Band Steering, a feature that automatically
detects Dual Band clients and moves them from the 2.4 GHz band to the 5 GHz
band. This allows applications such as video streaming to ow more easily and
helps to eliminate trafc congestion on the 2.4 GHz band.
Network administrators can also congure an additional layer of security by tagging
each of the ENS1200’s SSIDs to a company’s established VLANs. This added feature
helps to ensure that only users in specic VLANs are accessing information they have
been authorized to access even when they work outside the building or from another
building on the corporate campus that has been bridged to a main ofce via one or
more ENS1200 units. These settings are available upon initial installation with the
device’s browser-based Graphical User Interface and through EZ Controller.
With EnGenius’ EZ Controller
™
Management Software, units that have already been
deployed on rooftops or other difcult to access locations and other EnGenius APs
or Client Bridges in the network can be recongured to a different operational mode
or upgraded remotely without having to manually reconnect to them or re-install them
onsite. When used together with its included PoE injector, the ENS1200 can support
a tethered IP camera on the available 802.3af Gigabit port for security applications
such as warehouses, stadiums, airports, corporate campuses and more.
The ENS1200’s internal MIMO antenna array is comprised of two (2) internal 5
dBi omni-directional high-gain antennas for 2.4 GHz and two (2) internal 5 dBi
omni-directional high-gain antennas for 5 Ghz . This combination of high transmit
power and enhanced receive sensitivity results in long range connectivity to
client devices and in some venues can minimize the number of Access Points
necessary for a deployment.
The ENS1200 is easy to install in virtually any location as well with its included PoE
(Power over Ethernet) injector for quick outdoor installation. The Access Point’s
internal electronics have been mounted in an IP55-rated enclosure, one of the
highest waterproof and dustproof ratings available, designed to withstand extreme
environmental conditions including severe and prolonged exposure to sunlight,
extreme cold, frost, snow, rainfall, hail and humidity. These protective measures
make the ENS1200 an ideal outdoor wireless solution for virtually any locale or
any venue including ski and beach resorts, sports arenas, college and corporate
campuses, indoor industrial environments, and businesses located in snowy, rainy,
and arid climates.
Faster File Transfers and Smoother Video Streaming
Up to 866 Mbps on the 5 GHz and up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz frequency bands
for faster le transfers and smoother video streaming.
High-Power and Long-Range Coverage
Up to 27 dBm transmit power, enabling long range connectivity.
Dual Band Operation for Less Congested Networks
Enables 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands to be used for expanded user capacity.
Greater number of channels available on the 5 GHz frequency spectrum supports
higher bandwidth applications like HD video streaming while relieving congestion on
the 2.4 GHz band.
Maximize RF Performance With High Gain Antennas
Built-in 5 dBi high gain internal antennas for each band.
Keeps Employees, Staff Constantly Connected to the Network
When used with a RADIUS server, Fast Roaming feature enables users to be
constantly connected to a network as they move throughout a building. This is
especially useful for voice and video applications preventing delays and dropped
signals for users on mobile devices.
Improve and Optimize Wireless Trafc with Band Steering
Band Steering automatically detects Dual Band clients and moves them from the 2.4
GHz band to the 5 GHz band. This allows applications such as video streaming to
ow more easily and helps to eliminate trafc congestion on the 2.4 GHz band.
Flexible Deployment Scenarios
Choose one of two (2) modes available to the ENS1200 depending on user needs:
Access Point or WDS (AP & Bridge).
Simplied AP Monitoring and Management
For easier monitoring and maintenance after deployment on rooftops and other hard
to reach places, users can monitor the Access Point remotely with SNMP-based
EZ Controller wireless Access Point software for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux
(available online as a free download).
Combat the Elements with IP55-Rated Waterproof Housing
Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions via its waterproof IP55-Rated
housing.
SSID-to-VLAN Tagging
Can be congured to broadcast up to sixteen (16) SSIDs (eight (8) SSIDs per band).
Each SSID can be tagged to a specied company network VLAN for different user
access based on established access rights.
User-Friendly Installation Kit
Includes a proprietary PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) kit comprised of a PoE injector and
Power Adapter. Also includes a mast mount kit with binding strap.
