Antiference

New for this year from Antiference are some additions to the Clear Flow wireless network range, including trade/multi packs of three access points for the Air 3 and Air 13 products. This reduces the packaging to a single box and these access points are supplied without the power injector or cables as these extras are often not required on larger systems where the devices are being fed from a Clear Switch PoE Ethernet switch.

In addition, the company has the WAP G, a dual band access point with dual Gb Ethernet ports. The WAP G has a total of 1200Mbps of internal data speed, allowing around 120+ concurrent users and a more powerful signal strength than the other WAP’s in the range.

Clear Flow will also soon feature the Aero 12, an outdoor dual band Gb access point for outdoor systems. This exciting new product brings a welcome solution to applications such as pub gardens or large outside spaces where the indoor network cannot reach.
