Introducing the latest firmware for the ‘free cloud-based software controller’ for Tenda i29 (3000Mbps Wi-Fi 6 long-range indoor ceiling access point) and Tenda i24 (1200Mbps wave2 gigabit indoor ceiling access point) which is compatible with Tenda CloudFi v1.0. With this free cloud-based software controller, one can effortlessly manage and monitor their access points from anywhere, anytime, using our user-friendly cloud-based platform.
IT teams are always looking for the best solution and alternatives to provide seamless wireless network coverage to large areas such as office buildings, malls, showrooms, factories, and other such environments. Conventional access points may fulfill the requirement for coverage, but what they could end up with is flaky network signals when users tend to move around from one point to another.
Tenda, a known player in supplying networking devices and equipment, addresses these issues with the announcement of ‘free cloud-based software controller’ two ceiling-mount dual-band PoE access points that promise high throughput speeds of up to 3000Mbps with Wi-Fi 6 (AX) technology, and a wide coverage of up to 500m for seamless connectivity of devices moving around the floor.
The Tenda i24 AC1200 wave2 gigabit access point and i29 AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 dual band ceiling mount access point are designed specifically for large areas, multiple device connectivity, and an easy-to-use central management and control system.
Tenda i24
The i24 is a gigabit dual-band (5GHz/2.4GHz) ceiling AP (IEEE 802.11AC Wave 2) that offers a concurrent data rate of up to 1.2Gbps. It is powered by MU-MIMO and uses built-in omnidirectional antennas for a broader wireless coverage with just a single AP with the option to adjust the power transmission as required.
Featuring multiple interference-mitigation technologies, the i24 can automatically choose the best channel and adjust the transmit power to a reasonable value, significantly optimizing wireless signals by mitigating co-channel interference and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
It is powered by PoE to achieve long-distance power supply without tampering with the existing grid network, while also allowing the use of Tenda access controllers (AC) to configure and manage multiple i24s in a centralized manner. Other features include AP/Client AP Modes, VLAN, up to 12 SSIDs, maximum clients of up to 256 per AP, OFDMA, Dual Power PoE / DC option, and a few more.
Tenda i29
The i29 uses the latest Wi-Fi 6 (AX) technology that takes advantage of the 160Mhz channel width over the 5GHz band to supply blazing fast data throughputs of up to 2.4Gbps — 3X higher than ordinary Wi-Fi 5GHz APs and twice more than conventional Wi-Fi 6 APs. What makes this beast stand out is the application of new technologies such as OFDMA, spatial multiplexing, and 2 x 2 MU-MIMO that drive the network capacity of a single i29 access point to 4 times the conventional performance.
Using its built-in high-power RF design, the AP can maintain the quality of the Wi-Fi signal even over a longer distance, so wireless clients can seamlessly connect over a wider floor space. The Tenda i29 is a perfect choice for businesses and hotels which require high-performance Wi-Fi networks. Other features include VLAN, up to 11 SSIDs, maximum clients of up to 254 per AP, OFDMA, and a few more.
