Introduction
The IPmitter ceiling and wall access point (IPMIT100) boasts dual band technology and can
simultaneously connect equipment to your LAN on both 5.8GHz and 2.4GHz channels. A fast data rate of
750Mbs means it’s a great Access Point for heavy Wi-Fi uses. Streaming media and video les or linking
TV equipment to a network.
With a maximum of 90 connected concurrent devices it’s aimed at professional, domestic or commercial
installations. Using the common UK PoE voltage of 48V the access point can plug straight into a standard
48V PoE switch or LAN for power and connectivity for neat easy connection. The low prole and
attractive case can be installed on a ceiling or wall for a nice tidy installation. The cables can come down
to the IPMIT100 to help hide and disguise cables going in to it when installed high up on a wall near the
ceiling.
The IPMIT100 works in 3 modes, Super WDS, Repeater mode and AP mode.
IPMIT100 Can be powered using 48V PoE (Not supplied) or can be powered using 12V DC (Not supplied).
