An access point is the radio edge of a hotel, campus or office network. The choice is not only Wi-Fi generation: the uplink, the power path and the mounting point decide whether the AP can be installed where the users are. A ceiling AP with a 2.5GE PoE port is the default for a corridor; a wall-plate AP fits a hotel room; a high-density AP covers a hall or an auditorium.
The range includes a ceiling Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 AP with a 2.5GE PoE PD port, a PoF ceiling AP with an XPON PoF input and Wi-Fi 6, wall-plate APs for hotel rooms, and high-density/Wi-Fi 7 models for large venues. The AC can be built into the optical gateway/OLT or supplied as a software AC; the APs are managed as one network with SSIDs, VLANs, firmware and roaming policy.
The power path is the design constraint. A standard ceiling AP uses PoE (100 m copper); a PoF AP uses a hybrid cable to 200 m with no local mains; a wall-plate AP uses the in-room cable. For a hotel, the typical mix is a room ONT/AP with Wi-Fi 6 and a PoF or PoE corridor AP group; for a campus, ceiling APs on each floor with a 2.5GE uplink to the building switch.
Configuration table
The numbers that decide the fit.
Values are from the model datasheet. Where a value is model-dependent, the table says so instead of guessing.
| Type | Uplink | Wi-Fi | Power | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceiling AP | 1× 2.5GE | Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 | PoE PD | Hotel / campus corridor |
| Ceiling AP | 1× GE | Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 | PoE | Office / classroom |
| PoF ceiling AP | 1× XPON PoF + 1× GE | Wi-Fi 6 AX3000 | PoF, 200 m | No-mains ceiling |
| Wall-plate AP | 1× GE | Wi-Fi 6 | PoE | Hotel room |
| High-density / Wi-Fi 7 AP | 2.5GE / 10GE | Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 7 | PoE | Hall / auditorium |
| AC | — | — | — | Built-in or software AC |
Wi-Fi 7, high-density and wall-plate models are quoted per project; the antenna count, uplink and PoE class are confirmed on the datasheet.
Engineering features
What changes on site.
Wi-Fi 6 / 7
AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 for standard coverage; Wi-Fi 7 and high-density models for large venues.
2.5GE uplink
A 2.5GE port removes the uplink bottleneck for high-density APs and multi-gigabit backhaul.
PoE or PoF
Standard APs use PoE; the PoF ceiling AP uses a hybrid cable to 200 m with no local mains.
Seamless roaming
Central AC/OLT management with one SSID and fast roaming across APs.
VLAN and auth
Per-SSID VLAN, portal/RADIUS authentication and client isolation for guest networks.
One management view
SSIDs, firmware, channel and power settings are pushed from the AC/OLT or the cloud platform.
Selection guide
Which configuration fits which site.
Start from the site, not from the model. The table is a starting point; the final check is the optical and power budget.
| Site | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel corridor | PoF ceiling AP or PoE ceiling AP | No local socket; central roaming |
| Hotel room | Wall-plate AP | In-room coverage and ports |
| Office / classroom | Ceiling Wi-Fi 6 AP, 2.5GE | Dense clients and multi-gig backhaul |
| Hall / auditorium | High-density / Wi-Fi 7 AP | High client density and capacity |
For a PoF AP, confirm the 12 W port budget; for a high-density AP, confirm the PoE class and the 2.5GE/10GE uplink.

Wi-Fi AP & AC: questions before the order.
If your question is not here, send the site details and we will answer with the calculation, not a brochure.
Ask an engineerWhat is the difference between an AP and a router?
An AP provides Wi-Fi and connects to a wired network; a router adds NAT, DHCP and WAN routing. A ceiling AP with a 2.5GE PoE uplink is an AP; a Wi-Fi 6 router can run in router or AP (fit) mode.
Can I power a ceiling AP with PoF?
Yes, with a PoF ceiling AP and a PoF splitter. The AP must be within 200 m and under 12 W per port; a standard PoE AP needs a PoE switch instead.
Do I need a separate AC?
Selected gateways/OLTs include a software AC. For a larger network, a standalone or cloud AC may be preferred; confirm the management model with the AP.
How many APs per floor?
It depends on the wall materials, client density and band. A corridor AP every 8–12 rooms is a common starting point; a site survey confirms the final count.
Does the wall-plate AP support PoE?
Selected wall-plate models use PoE; the exact uplink and PoE class are model-specific. Confirm the room cabling and the switch budget.
Can Wi-Fi 7 APs work with Wi-Fi 6 clients?
Yes. Wi-Fi 7 is backward compatible; the client sees the best rate it supports. The AP’s uplink and PoE class must match the higher capacity.
