LOS ANGELES, CA (August 29, 2019) – Access Networks, the premier enterprise-grade networking solutions provider and CE Pro ‘Bullet Brand’, continues to evolve its offering to deliver the right networking products at the right price. Debuting during CEDIA Expo 2019 in booth 1326 will be the new Access Networks switches powered by Ruckus and an entry-level wireless access point. The Access Networks team and its partners will also offer educational opportunities throughout the show, illustrating the company’s commitment to offering the best products, service, support, and ongoing education to support the modern smart home.

NEW A320 Access Point Delivers 802.11ac Wave 2 Wireless Networking

Adding to its best-in-class lineup of networking products, Access Networks will introduce an exciting new entry-level access point at CEDIA Expo. The A320 is now shipping and delivers reliable 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless networking at an affordable price. Offering superior user experience at extended ranges, the A320 features patented BeamFlex adaptive antenna technology utilizing multi-directional antenna patterns for performance optimization and interference mitigation. The A320 provides an ideal combination of features and performance, and is available in Standard and Unleashed versions.

NEW Access Networks-branded switches Powered by Ruckus

Access Networks will also be introducing its own line of Access Networks-branded switches at the booth. These new switches will be powered by Ruckus and build upon the relationship that Access Networks and Ruckus have forged, bringing affordable products to market specifically designed for the custom residential market with the same enterprise-grade standard.

Access Networks Emphasizes Education with Course Offerings and New Booth Design

Network requirements are changing rapidly, and it’s sometimes hard to keep pace. The network core is the heart of the smart home, and knowing how to integrate and manage it effectively increases customer satisfaction and improves profitability for integrators. Access Networks is, therefore, offering valuable training sessions for CEDIA Expo attendees throughout the show.

“AV over IP” (MPT016, MPT017, MPT036), will discuss technologies used in AV over IP deployment and how a properly designed and configured LAN ensures the best client experience. The session will dive deep into multicast traffic and how it differs from ethernet traffic; why enterprise-grade networking hardware is important (especially with Video over IP); basic tips when troubleshooting Video over IP installations; and more.

“What Is Wi-Fi 6?” (MPT018, MPT019, MPT037) will walk CEDIA attendees through the new, and vastly different, sixth-generation standard—Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). This session will discuss Wi-Fi 6’s features aimed at improving Wi-Fi efficiency and the potential performance increase over Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), especially in dense deployment areas.

Attendees visiting the Access Networks booth are also encouraged to inquire about the Access Networks Certified Expert (ACE) training program, one-day, in-person, regional training sessions developed to give residential integrators the skills for deploying, troubleshooting and supporting networks.

Access Networks has also redesigned its booth for this year’s CEDIA Expo, with a new double-decker design optimized for dealer meetings and education. Upstairs is a relaxed environment for dealer meetings; downstairs is a dedicated education and training space where representatives from Access Networks can engage with attendees to answer questions, offer insights, and share ways integrators can build a robust foundation for their smart-home installations by partnering with Access Networks.

Josh.ai Relies on Access Networks Enterprise-Grade Networking at CEDIA Booth

As the complexity of residential AV systems increases, both integrators and manufacturers understand the need for enterprise-grade networking. That’s why, for its demos at this year’s CEDIA Expo, Josh.ai (booth 4319) has partnered with Access Networks to provide robust, reliable networking to power demanding booth demos.

“Access Networks is dedicated to building and supporting reliable, scalable networks for the CEDIA channel. At Josh.ai, we believe the network is the backbone to any high-functioning home, and Hagai [Feiner] and his team at Access Networks have been a joy to work with,” says Alex Capecelatro, co-founder and CEO of Josh.ai. “We’re looking forward to using Access Networks products in our demonstrations during CEDIA Expo and encourage attendees to get to know both Josh.ai and Access Networks during the show.”

Attendees are encouraged to visit booth 1326 not just for valuable learning opportunities and new product intros, but to meet the team and “Say ‘Hi’ to Hagai,” a fun promotion where attendees are invited to meet and speak with Access Networks founder and CEO Hagai Feiner. Hagai is an approachable and notable industry executive who is happy to share ideas, insights, and information, as is the rest of the Access Networks team. He will also be a judge of CEDIA’s TechStarter, a new program in which Innovation Alley exhibitors pitch their business models.
