Microsoft Academic Dual‑Band 802.11ac Wireless Access Point with PoE

The Microsoft Academic Dual‑Band Wireless Access Point delivers enterprise‑grade performance and reliability for schools, universities and research organisations across Australia. Built around the latest 802.11ac standard, it provides simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz coverage, ensuring fast, low‑latency connections for high‑definition video streaming, virtual labs and cloud‑based learning platforms. With Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, the unit can be installed anywhere without the need for separate power cabling, simplifying deployment in classrooms, libraries and campus corridors. Designed for the academic environment, the AP integrates with Microsoft’s cloud‑based management console, allowing IT administrators to configure, monitor and secure the network from a single dashboard. Advanced security features such as WPA3‑Enterprise, guest network isolation and automatic firmware updates protect sensitive student data and comply with Australian privacy regulations. The compact, fan‑less chassis operates silently and is built to withstand the rigours of high‑traffic campus settings, providing continuous connectivity when it matters most.
