The AP332CR is designed for outdoor and rugged indoor environments. Its CR-rated housing is weather-resistant and built for harsh conditions, and it uses 4 external SMA antenna ports instead of internal antennas, giving you the flexibility to select directional or high-gain antennas based on your site requirements. The AP330 is an indoor-only model with integrated antennas.
