Edgecore Networks rolls out the EAP115, a Wi‑Fi 7 dual‑band wall‑plate access point aimed at high‑density rooms. Built for MDUs, hotels, and offices, the compact device promises reliable, cost‑effective connectivity in tight spaces. Its 2.4 GHz/5 GHz bands support 2×2:2 MU‑MIMO, delivering up to 3.6 Gbps aggregated throughput, making it a strong contender for next‑generation in‑room deployments and enterprise networks today across the board.

The EAP115 integrates Bluetooth Low Energy and Zigbee radios, positioning it as a unified IoT gateway alongside Wi‑Fi. Support for Matter and future Wi‑Fi HaLow keeps the unit future‑ready, while its 110 × 88 × 39.9 mm form factor fits standard wall‑plate slots. 802.3af PoE compatibility cuts deployment costs by eliminating extra power supplies and streamlines installation for large‑scale projects today.

Management flexibility shines through with support for Edgecore ecCLOUD, OpenWiFi Cloud, and SDK‑based controllers, enabling Zero‑Touch Provisioning and centralized policy control. The device’s dual‑mounting options—wall, ceiling, or wall‑plate—offer installers visual discretion, while its concealed uplink cable preserves interior aesthetics. Such design choices appeal to MSPs and ISPs seeking scalable, low‑maintenance networks across diverse deployment scenarios.

By marrying Wi‑Fi 7 performance with embedded IoT radios, the EAP115 addresses a growing need for per‑room connectivity that supports streaming, video calls, and smart building services without extra hardware. Edgecore’s focus on PoE, compact size, and cloud‑ready management turns the EAP115 into an attractive, cost‑effective solution for modern residences and commercial spaces and 24/7 operations.
