When operating offshore and relying on a single router to transmit signals throughout an entire vessel, reception is typically weakest in areas that are the farthest from the router, or there are “dead zones” where the signal does not reach at all.
To eradicate areas with weak or no signal, NIAT Sdn. Bhd. is providing enhanced Access Point (AP) solutions that ensure the bandwidth is not impacted by backhaul traffic and that signal problems are avoided, thereby optimizing the vessel’s WiFi performance.
Recently, our tech specialist successfully installed three units of our latest AP testing product for a valued client which can help to blanket vast surface areas and permeate thick walls, thereby disseminating a strong and reliable WiFi signal throughout its vessel.
Better technology
On the technology front, the latest AP product can deliver high-performance connectivity to lower-density environments such as offices, warehouses, vessels, and others, allowing its end-users to improve their daily operation efficiency and productivity.
- Compared to our current AP product, this latest AP offers improved features among which include:
- Cloud-based technology – This helps to modernize the system with its available management solutions that can improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability by utilizing its Edge Service Platform (ESP) and Central.
- Web and application filtering – It allows restriction of unwanted access from users.
- Segregation of multiple user groups – It offers bandwidth allocations that are configurable with desired requirements.
- Identification of foreign access point – Transmission frequency range can be referred in its graphic user interface.
Why the need of Access Point?
An AP is a device that extends the reach and enhances the performances of the end-user’s wireless network. Access point can be particularly useful in areas with poor coverage, offshore platforms or vessels, large buildings, or any places with thick walls that obstruct WiFi signals.
- Improved Coverage – AP helps to expand the coverage area of your WiFi network to every corner of any large space, ensuring that there are no dead zones or weak signals.
- Increased Capacity – When multiple devices connect to a single router, it can lead to network congestion and slower speeds. AP helps to distributes the load, thereby decreasing congestion and preserving performance.
- Enhanced Speed – AP can support the latest WiFi standards.
- Scalability – As your network needs grow, you can easily expand your coverage by adding more access points to your network. This scalability makes them a versatile solution for various setting
