Edgecore Networks has launched a device that integrates both Wi-Fi HaLow access point and Matter IoT gateway functionalities. The EAP112 supports a range of wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah), BLE, Zigbee, Thread, and LTE/CBRS. It is aimed at a range of IoT use cases including smart agriculture, smart cities, multi-dwelling units (MDUs), and industrial monitoring.
It is designed for both indoor and outdoor deployments, with a construction capable of withstanding harsh outdoor conditions. It can operate between -30°C and 50°C and features an IP65-rated enclosure for water and dust resistance, broadening its application in extreme environments.
Recognising the role of backhaul transmission in network infrastructure, the EAP112 includes support for LTE-A and CBRS frequencies, as well as traditional wired Ethernet. In specific scenarios, the Wi-Fi HaLow technology facilitated by the EAP112 also doubles as a backhaul network solution.
“The EAP112 demonstrates our commitment to driving innovation in IoT connectivity,” said TengTai Hsu, Vice President of Edgecore Networks. “It meets the demands of a rapidly evolving IoT ecosystem, providing flexible and reliable solutions for our customers.”
