Access Points

For Indoor Access Points the typical range is 80-100m. However, it depends on the location where access point is deployed for example- existence of concrete walls, wooden furniture and interference in the environment etc.

For Outdoor Access Points with Integrated antenna the typical range is 80-100m. However, it depends on the location where access point is deployed for example- existence of concrete walls, buildings and interference in the environment etc. For Outdoor APs with External antenna range depends on Gain of antenna.

HFCL IO Access Points are powered using PoE(Power over Ethernet) Switches/PoE injector following IEEE 802.3 at/af standard. In addition to that ion8i and ion4xi have DC powering option.

HFCL IO indoor APs support Table top, wall and ceiling mounting. HFCL IO outdoor APs support Pole and wall mounting.

If the required coverage is very high then we go with external antenna else integrated antenna will be sufficient.

Yes, We can enable NAT mode to provide IPs to clients in absence of DHCP server.

Yes, this functionality can be used on AP.

Our product provides wireless encryption with the latest standards like WPA2 and WPA3.

HFCL IO Access Points have ACS functionality to choose the best available channel by scanning and sensing the interference in all available channels.

Yes, HFCL IO Access Point supports 802.11r- fast roaming and fast handover.

Yes we can serve both from a single Access Point by creating a separate SSID for each client type.

It will be based on the User requirement whether the customer wants to manage the APs individually or centrally. Typically for small deployments the controller may not be deployed and for large deployments the controller is used.

In cloud based controller the controller application is hosted on a public or private cloud which can be accessed remotely whereas in server based controller the application is hosted on a physical hardware generally deployed at customer premises.

It depends on customer requirement whether they wish to host controller at their premises itself or not.

Technically there is no limit and the iCon controller is flexible to manage any number of access points, provided the underlying instance in case of cloud or the hardware in case of premise has availability of enough resources.

iCon licensing is done on a per Access Point basis

Yes, controller is used for monitoring and management of APs and does not hinder access points general functioning if connection breaks.

Yes, iCon controller provides Multiple Controller redundancy (1:1and N:1).

Yes, iCon controllers can be integrated with third party NMS using REST API’s.

For Indoor Access Points, the typical range is 40-50m. However, it depends on the location where access point is deployed. For example- existence of concrete walls, wooden furniture and interference in the environment etc. For Outdoor Access Points with Integrated directional Antenna, the typical range is 80-100m. However, it depends on the location where access point is deployed. For example- existence of concrete walls, buildings and interference in the environment etc. For Outdoor APs with External antenna range depends on Gain of antenna.

HFCL IO Access Points are powered using PoE. (Power over Ethernet) Switches/ PoE
Injectors following IEEE 802.3 at/af standard. In addition to that, ion8i, ion4xi, ion4xi_w,
ion4i_w and ion12xi_h have DC powering option.

Yes, we can enable NAT mode to provide IPs to clients in absence of DHCP server.

Yes, iCon controllers can be integrated with third party NMS using REST API’s.

In cloud-based controller, the controller application is hosted on a public or private cloud that can be accessed remotely whereas in a server-based controller, the application is hosted on a physical hardware server, generally deployed at the customer premises.

The type of configuration is purely based on the User requirement- whether the customer wants to manage the APs individually or centrally. Typically, for small deployments, the controller may not be deployed and for large deployments, the controller is advised.

Technically, there is no limit, and the iCon controller is flexible to manage any number of access points, provided the underlying instance in case of cloud or the hardware in case of premise has availability of enough resources.

iCon licensing is done on a per Access Point basis.

Yes, all C1 series switches comply with Energy Efficient Ethernet Standards (802.3az).

C1 series switches offer various security features including L2/L3/L4 ACLs, Mask based MAC ACL, 802.1X EAP Authentication, 802.1X MAC Authentication, Storm Control, Port Security, IP-MAC Static binding, DHCP snooping, and IP Source Guard.

Yes, all C1 series switches support jumbo frames with MTU up to 9216 Bytes.

All C1 series switches come with an integrated single AC power supply (100-240 VAC).

Yes, HFCL offers region-specific power cables for India, US, Europe, UK, and Australia, which can be ordered separately.
