A spokesman said that the speed hike was possible thanks to a leap from 256-QAM to 1024-QAM, and a reduction in latency and improvements in efficiency. 

The access points promise speeds of up to 3,000 Mbps, with dual-band capabilities offering up to 2402 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band.

Features like band steering, 2x2 MU-MIMO, and beamforming ensure minimal congestion and a smoother Wi-Fi experience. Additionally, a 2.5-Gigabit PoE LAN port eliminates bottlenecks, while streamlined installation with 802.3at PoE simplifies deployment for businesses of any size. 

For indoor spaces, the DAP-X3060 provides flexible installation options such as wall or ceiling mounting, while the DAP-X3060OU is built for outdoor environments. Featuring IP68-certified weatherproofing and the ability to withstand temperatures from -30°C to 60°C, the outdoor model is ideal for public venues like parks, resorts, and campuses. 

D-Link’s Nuclias Connect platform enhances these devices further, offering seamless on-premises network management without added complexity.

“Our new access points, combined with Nuclias Connect, represent a transformative solution for businesses looking to optimise performance and efficiency,” a D-Link spokesperson said. 

The DAP-X3060 and DAP-X3060OU are now available through D-Link’s global network of distributors and resellers.
