AV-QSys network and WAP Mesh suggestions
Hello
I have a project on a metal passenger ship that is all metal.
The sound system runs with QSC Qsys (Qlan) network as well as wireless communication for control.
The 3 to 4 APs should be mesh formatted and run in conjunction with the
Netgear GSM4212P-100NAS switch and will cover small localized areas.
One of the APs should be weatherproof.
This with carry very little wireless traffic with only a handful of users.
It will act as a local network only. No connection to the internet.
Potentially this would carry communication for retail point of sale devices as well.
What APs would you suggest for this?
Thank you

Since WBE700Y and WBE708Y are rated with IP66 - which means it can withstand rain, snow, dust I recommend going with it for outdoor deployment. It supports mesh and can be managed remotely through Insight. Depending up on the budget any one of the WiFi 7 models (WBE 750/758, WBE 710/718, or WBE 700/708) can be used for indoor. All these APs can connect to WBE 700Y / 708Y over mesh.
NGs wireless AP models with a Y after the model# are outdoor rated.
WAX610Y or WBE700Y or WBE708Y would be models to review and see what fits your needs.
