Technical Features of the Cambium XV2-2T0 Access Point

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) Technology

The Cambium XV2-2T0 access point leverages the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard to deliver faster speeds, greater capacity, and enhanced performance in dense environments. This enables it to support data rates of up to 1.78 Gbps across its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

High-efficiency Dual-Band Omni Antennas

The XV2-2T0 access point comes equipped with high-efficiency omnidirectional antennas that support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. This dual-band configuration allows the access point to offer balanced performance across both channels, ensuring better throughput and reduced interference. The XV2-2T0’s high-efficiency antennas deliver a maximum of 9 dBi and an average of 7 dBi gain over 360 degrees in 5 GHz, delivering maximum gain and minimum nulls. 

2x2 MU-MIMO Configuration

In addition to the omnidirectional antennas, the Cambium XV2-2T0 access point features a 2x2 MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output) configuration. This enhances its ability to handle multiple client devices simultaneously, which results in improved overall network efficiency, particularly in environments with high user density, such as public Wi-Fi, campus-wide connectivity, outdoor events with large crowds and smart city deployments supporting IoT devices.

Flexible Power Options

The XV2-2T0 outdoor access point supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) 802.3at, also known as PoE+, which allows it to receive both power and data through a single Ethernet cable. For installations where PoE is not feasible or preferred, the XV2-2T0 can also be powered using a dedicated DC power source. This flexibility makes the Cambium XV2-2T0 access point easier to integrate into diverse network configurations and outdoor deployment scenarios.

IP67-Rated Weatherproof Design

The Cambium XV2-2T0 access point is built for outdoor environments, with an IP67-rated enclosure that protects it from dust, water, and extreme weather conditions. This rugged design ensures reliable performance in both harsh and unpredictable outdoor scenarios.

Seamless Cloud Management with cnMaestro

The XV2-2T0 access point integrates with Cambium’s cloud-based management platform, cnMaestro™, allowing for easy configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Your network administrator benefits from a unified dashboard that simplifies large-scale deployments and provides real-time insights into network performance.
