“We are particularly proud to have been selected for inclusion in CRN’s Network Connectivity Partner Program Guide this year because it highlights our dedication to helping our channel partners grow their businesses and increase their revenues through the new ZyXEL Freedom Program,” explained Jeff Gallifent, Channel Chief and Director of Channel Sales for ZyXEL. “ZyXEL’s comprehensive portfolio of networking products and solutions, combined with the benefits provided through our robust, but simplified partner program truly gives resellers a vendor partner that is dedicated to helping them succeed. This type of vendor dedication to the channel is becoming increasingly rare as many of our competitors continue to pull back from the channel to shift their focus to online sales.”

Co-channel interference is an unavoidable dilemma of today's fast evolving 802.11ac technology, simply because the channel width is higher and the available channels become fewer. This means more Wi-Fi APs are operating on the same channel and interfering with each other. Reducing transmission power is an obvious thought, but it results in worse coverage and dead zones. The research team compared the APs in co-channel interference environments and found that ZyXEL’s WAC6503D-S outperformed competing APs with as much as 75 percent higher throughput.

The high-performance router delivers fast, stable connectivity and incorporates advanced features that maximize the performance of bandwidth-intensive, latency-sensitive applications such as 4k UHD video streaming and online gaming.
