Lancom LX-6400 Wi-Fi 6

Highly efficient Wi-Fi 6 for universal use
Wi-Fi is ubiquitous today, whether in offices, schools, universities, shopping centers, sports stadiums, or event venues. The LANCOM LX-6400 delivers an excellent Wi-Fi experience. This Wi-Fi 6 access point offers low latency and high throughput per client, even with a high density of connected devices. Rely on the power of High Efficiency Wireless – Made by LANCOM.

Dual Concurrent Wi-Fi 6 with aggregate data rate of up to 3,550 Mbps
The LANCOM LX-6400 offers Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) and can provide fast Wi-Fi to both clients in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and modern devices in the 5 GHz band. Wi-Fi 6 technology enables transmission rates of up to 2,400 Mbps in the 5 GHz band and up to 1,150 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band simultaneously.

4x4 multi-user MIMO in downlink and uplink
Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO for short) enables the distribution of all available spatial streams from the LANCOM LX-6400 to multiple different clients simultaneously, instead of serving them sequentially as before. This allows for efficient use of available bandwidth and significantly reduces latency in the wireless network. With Wi-Fi 6, MU-MIMO can be used not only in the downlink but also in the uplink.

OFDMA - Carpooling in the radio field
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) divides the frequency range of a Wi-Fi channel into multiple frequency blocks within a unit of time. This creates sub-channels (sub-carriers) that can be as narrow as 2 MHz. Small data packets, such as those expected from IoT devices, no longer block an entire channel with a width of 20, 40, or even 80 MHz. Furthermore, the Wi-Fi 6 access point can combine and transmit multiple sub-channels together. This is similar to carpooling, preventing many single-occupant cars from clogging traffic and instead allowing fewer cars with multiple occupants to clear the roads.

160 MHz channel width
The access point supports channel bandwidths of 20, 40, and 80 MHz (with 4 streams) as well as 160 MHz (with 2 streams). Devices with two antennas that support 160 MHz reception thus benefit from high data rates of up to 2,400 Mbps in the 5 GHz frequency band.

Longer battery life thanks to TWT
Previously, smartphones, tablets, and laptops had to be constantly ready to receive data to avoid missing any incoming data packets. This quickly drained their battery. Wi-Fi 6 introduces a new technology that counteracts power consumption on the client side. Target Wake Time, or TWT for short, reduces consumption by having the access point and client negotiate precisely when the receiver will wake up to receive the data packets.

Band Steering
Optimal load balancing in your wireless network thanks to active control of clients to the less congested and more powerful 5 GHz frequency band.

Operation via LANCOM Management Cloud
The LANCOM LX-6400 offers maximum user-friendliness: Managed via the LANCOM Management Cloud, it is integrated into a holistic, automated network orchestration based on software-defined networking technology.

Operation via WLC is in preparation
Operation of the LANCOM LX-6400 Access Point via Wireless LAN Controller will follow in early 2020. Alternatively, we would like to point out the possibility of management via the LANCOM Management Cloud.

WLAN security standard WPA3
WPA3, the successor to WPA2, offers important enhancements and security features for small (“WPA3-Personal”) and large networks (“WPA3-Enterprise”).

LANCOM security for wireless networks
With numerous integrated security features such as IEEE 802.1X, this enterprise access point ensures optimal network security. This allows both administrators and employees to benefit from professional network security policies.

Flexible power supply
The LANCOM LX-6400 can be flexibly powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3at at any PoE-powered Ethernet port. Alternatively, the access point can be powered via the included power supply unit with various plug adapters (EU, UK, US, AU).
