High-performance AX1800 dual-band WiFi 6 PoE in-wall access point honored for redefining remote network management and discreet enterprise connectivity

TORRANCE, Calif. – Jun. 18, 2026 - TRENDnet® (www.TRENDnet.com), a global leader and award-winning provider of reliable networking solutions for IT, surveillance, AV, transportation, and power distribution, today announces that its AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 PoE In-Wall Access point, model TEW-W960DAP, has been selected as the winner of the IT Asset Management Solution of the Year award by RemoteTech Breakthrough. The awards program recognizes the world’s best technology companies, products, and services that drive innovation in the remote work and distributed enterprise sectors.

 

The award-winning TEW-W960DAP in-wall access point (AP) features a low-profile, sleek housing designed to flush-mount into a standard 1-gang electrical box using the included wall plates. This discreet design allows the access point to blend into classrooms, hotel rooms, office spaces and multi-dwelling units. The AP supports high-performance AX1800 speeds, MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies to boost performance, and is conveniently powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE).

The defining factor for this year’s award selection is the AP's native compatibility with TRENDnet Hive™. This centralized remote cloud management platform acts as a force multiplier for IT asset managers and system integrators. Through TRENDnet Hive, admins gain consolidated visibility of all deployed TEW-W960DAP units, along with other Hive-compatible devices, across various geographic locations. It allows for bulk firmware updates, real-time traffic statistics, instant alerts, and more, allowing IT teams and integrators to preemptively fix connectivity bottlenecks before they impact end-users.

"Managing remote IT infrastructure requires tools that are not just fast and reliable, but also incredibly smart and visible,” said Sonny Su, VP of technology at TRENDnet. “Winning the RemoteTech Breakthrough Award for IT Asset Management Solution of the Year validates our commitment to creating high-performance hardware that simplifies the lives of IT professionals; keeping remote operations secure, efficient, and fully optimized; while reducing overall management time and total cost of ownership."
