1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
The RG-AP680-AR is a 802.11ax, quad-band, enhanced, and industrial wireless access
point (AP) provided by Ruijie Networks for higher education, wireless city, energy,
business mall, rail transit, and other scenarios.
The RG-AP680-AR supports the 802.11ax, 802.11ac Wave2, 802.11ac Wave1, and 802.11n
protocols. With hardware-independent quad-band design, the AP can provide up to
11.617 Gbps access rate. The ultra-fast wireless network makes performance no longer a
bottleneck.
Important factors such as the wireless network security, radio control, mobile access,
Quality of Service (QoS), seamless roaming, and expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT)
module are fully taken into account for this product. Therefore, this AP can be used in
combination with Ruijie Access Controllers (ACs) and WIS to implement STA data
forwarding, security, access control, and IoT application extension.
Thanks to its IP68 rated housing, the RG-AP680-AR is suitable for use in extreme
industrial environments and capable of effectively withstanding harsh weather and
environments. It is highly adaptable to colder and wet climates, allowing for easier
installation and maintenance.
The RG-AP680-AR supports the local power supply and power over Ethernet (PoE).
Customers can select the power supply mode based on the site environment. The
RG-AP680-AR can switch between the built-in and external antennas to meet Wi-Fi
network coverage and networking requirements in most environments.
