Dual radios to meet increased capacity demands

Not only is there a dramatic increase in types of mobile devices, there is also an increase in the number of devices per user – a guest or tenant often has a smart phone and tablet or laptop computer. No matter how many devices you need to support, the TW-522 is ready for the job. Dual radios enable concurrent support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz mobile devices. And the 802.11ac radio increases the wireless network capacity and growth to support up to four times more mobile devices than typical legacy networks.

“Invisible” design blends into your environment

The TW-522 hides in plain sight in the room – designed to cover the existing phone jack, it blends right into the wall.

All the in-room connections you need

In addition to 802.11n Wi-Fi access, the TW-522 provides two 10/100MB managed Ethernet ports and a pass-through RJ-11 port for an in-room analog telephone.

Installation is a snap

Installation is fast and easy. All you need is a screwdriver – no special tools or in-room CAT5 wiring are required.

“Set it and forget it” technology

Once installed, the TW-522 is powered, adopted, provisioned and monitored by the TS-524 PowerBroadband Switch located in the central wiring closet. For integration into a large managed network with different types of access points, the TS-524 PowerBroadband Switch can be managed in the Network Operations Center through Zebra NX 7500, NX 9600, or VX 9000 controllers. In both scenarios, the RF environment is constantly monitored and optimized in real-time for best performance – no need to worry about on-going maintenance, updates or outages on a room-by-room basis.

Tamper-proof

The snap-on Wallplate access point is completely self-contained, with a double-latch design and no accessible cables. Even the LEDs can be turned off remotely to avoid disturbing the tenant or hotel guest.
