Tigo TAP Wireless Access Point - Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Band AX1800, PoE, Gigabit

The Tigo TAP is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 access point engineered to wirelessly communicate directly with Tigo TS4 units, enabling effortless module-level monitoring without the need for extensive cabling. Delivering combined data rates of up to 1775 Mbps (AX1800) across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it ensures fast, reliable data transmission for residential and commercial solar installations. Installation is quick and tool-free, as the TAP clips directly onto the module frame, while PoE support simplifies power and network connectivity over a single cable.

Advantages

With Wi-Fi 6 technology, the Tigo TAP provides robust performance even in dense wireless environments. Dual-band 2x2 MIMO, MU-MIMO, and OFDMA maximize throughput and efficiency, while band steering and airtime fairness optimize spectrum usage for all connected devices. Security is reinforced with WPA3 encryption, ensuring that sensitive monitoring data remains protected. The access point supports multiple operating modes including Access Point, Repeater, and Client, offering deployment flexibility. Cloud management and SNMP enable remote supervision, making it an ideal choice for solar projects of any scale.
