Benefits:

Versatile mounting options in hotel guest rooms

The Zyxel WAC500’s low profile and versatile mounting design make it a perfect choice for hotel guest rooms. It easily blends into tasteful decorations and can be mounted directly on an outlet box or any obscure locations, even simply on desktop. For the best aesthetics, the Ethernet cable and coaxial cable can run out from the cable channel that keeps WAC500 slim and fit in a limited space.

Welcome your guest with high-speed Wi-Fi

Greet every guest with easy log-in and flicker-free WiFi is as important as warm smiles. Designed for hotel guest rooms, the Zyxel WAC500 features beamforming to dynamically change the signal direction to provide superb performance for each individual client. The WAC500 promises hotel guests with enjoyable, ubiquitous HD streaming experience on their mobile devices.

Extending modern in-room services with a box

Nowadays, hotels provide guests with a range of in-room services including smart TV, VoIP and network for homelike comfort. To achieve this, each room has many cables and switches that require more investment and are difficult to maintain. Let’s keep the budget and cabling effort to the minimum. More than just a WiFi AP serving highspeed networks, the Zyxel WAC500 has two local Gigabit Ethernet ports to securely attach wired devices while one of these ports supplies PoE power to the attached devices without the need for electric outlets and power cables.

NebulaFlex Pro–simply manage it your way!

The NebulaFlex Pro provides extended flexibility, allowing users to easily switch among standalone, on-promises controller or our intuitive NCC (Nebula Control Center) modes any time according to your needs without additional cost while protecting wireless technology investments. The privilege of one-year professional pack you can get once upon registration on Nebula includes wireless health, sitewide topology, 365-day statistics on the devices and clients monitoring along with more upcoming advanced features on NCC and its App.

* Zyxel Smart Connect is supported on selected models. Please refer to the specifications for more details.
