Zyxel Networks has unveiled three new additions to its range of ruggedised, outdoor wireless access points, to help managed service provider (MSP) partners meet the growing demand for fast, reliable bandwidth in challenging environments.
The trio of devices is designed for use in large, industrial or semi-industrial locations, smaller businesses and homes, and where wireless connectivity needs to reach places a significant distance away from the main coverage area. All three can be managed using Zyxel Networks’ Nebula cloud platform, making them easy for MSP partners to deploy them and to subsequently monitor and optimize WiFi performance for customers.
The WBE665S can provide ultra-smooth and reliable WiFi 7 coverage in a truly weather-resistant chassis, while the NWA55AX PRO and PTP models are ideally suited to smaller outdoor and industrial sites, hospitality venues such as cafes, bars, restaurants, or people’s homes.
Hugh Simpson, EMEA Marketing Development Manager for Wireless LAN at Zyxel Networks, said: “In today’s fully connected world, it’s essential for businesses to provide reliable wireless connectivity outdoors as well as inside buildings. With these new additions to our range, MSPs can target potentially fertile and fast-growing areas of the market, offering enterprise-class performance at SMB prices and easy manageability through Nebula.”
- The WBE665S is a WiFi 7 access point with smart antenna that can make use of 6GHz frequency to provide ultra-fast connectivity and optimised performance. IP67-rated, it can operate in extreme temperatures of -40˚C to 70˚C, and is resistant to dust and water, making it ideal for industrial sites, warehouses, stadiums, educational campuses and city WiFi, once OFCOM allows use of the 6GHz frequency outdoors.
- The NWA55AX PRO provides multi-gigabit WiFi 6 speeds of up to AX3000 for responsive and reliable outdoor access that is also affordable. It is IP55-rated to provide reliable and weather-resistant everyday operation for smaller industrial sites and campuses, and for businesses or home workers who need extended coverage.
- The NWA55AX PTP solution is a paired set of point-to-point access points that provide a direct link over distances of up to 5km. This device addresses the fast-growing market for ruggedised access points capable of supporting speedy and dependable external connections. It is ideal for education campuses, stadiums and event locations, holiday resorts and public areas such as railway stations or airports.
The NWA55AX PRO and PTP access points are coming to the EMEA region in Q3 2026. The WBE665S is already available across Europe, though customers should be aware that 6GHz frequency support will depend on what is permitted by their local regulations.
