The AP122 is the first wall plate access point specifically designed to meet the ever-increasing mobile data needs of hotel guests and college and university students. With 1.2 gigabit-per-second data rates, the AP122 is perfectly suited for in-room deployments for hotels, cruise lines, and higher education residence halls.

Designed to be placed in any location flush to a wall surface, the AP122 can be installed by normal service personnel using existing CAT5/6 cabling connected from a standard wall junction box. For wired connectivity, it features two 10/100 BASE-T switch ports to support a range of in-room IP device and user connectivity options. Additionally, one of the wired ports can operate as an IEEE 802.3af-compliant PoE Out port, offering up to 13 watts of power and capable of powering devices such as IP telephones. This reduces costs in additional cabling, switch ports, and power sourcing equipment. An additional pass-through port allows connectivity for digital phones that require native access to an in-house PBX system, and a USB port offers options for future uses. The AP122 is built to provide years of trouble-free operation and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
