The Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be) offers higher data capacities, greater channel widths, higher speeds, and modern functions such as multi-link operation, multi-RU, and puncturing. In addition to the classic 2.4- and 5-GHz bands, Wi-Fi 7, like Wi-Fi 6E, uses the Wi-Fi-exclusive 6-GHz band to ensure interference-free connections with minimal latency and maximum data throughput. This is particularly important for real-time applications such as machine control or virtual reality.
Both new models support all three frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz) and thus provide the best possible interface for all end devices. A fourth radio module functions as an integrated scan radio that delivers greater service quality and security as well as a better overview of the network. The IP50 protective housing and UL2043 certification demonstrate their suitability for use in demanding environments.
The LANCOM LX-7500 is a high-performance Wi-Fi 7 access point for large, high-performance wireless networks with tri-band Wi-Fi (4x4 MU-MIMO) and fast data processing even in crowded Wi-Fi networks and parallel operation in the 2.4-GHz, 5-GHz and 6-GHz bands with up to 19 Gbps. It has a 10G and a 2.5G Ethernet interface with Dual-PoE-in (2x PoE++, IEEE 802.3bt) for highest availability.
The LANCOM LX-7300 is a high-performance Wi-Fi 7 access point for medium-sized, demanding wireless networks. Its tri-band Wi-Fi with 2x2 MU-MIMO enables fast data processing in medium-load Wi-Fi networks at data transfer rates of up to 9.3 Gbps. It has a 10G and a 2.5G Ethernet interface (Single-PoE++, IEEE 802.3bt).
Both new Wi-Fi 7 access points were developed with the aim of making professional networks more secure and sustainable while at the same time easing the workload on administrators through high levels of automation:
Security:
Security scan: Radio-field monitoring with a dedicated scan radio, alerting in case of unauthorized unmounting of the device
Dual-PoE-in: Fully redundant power supply to the second switch for maximum reliability (LANCOM LX-7500)
Firmware engineered in Germany: Guaranteed freedom from backdoors, secure boot, maximum reliability, and future viability through regular feature and security updates
Integrated mounting protection against casual theft
Sustainability:
The LANCOM Sustainability Mode reduces energy consumption through technological adjustments and logical control
Energy monitoring for the whole network: Transparent display of energy consumption, savings, and CO2 emissions and reduction
Housing made from 100% recyclable materials without glued components
Optimized scope of delivery for reduced packaging and electronic waste, and minimized CO2 emissions during transport
Environmentally friendly, plastic-free packaging made of paper fibers for sorted disposal
Automation:
Cloud-managed Wi-Fi: Zero-touch commissioning, auto-config, 24/7 monitoring & alerting, and Wi-Fi anomaly detection via the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) for less manual effort
Radio Resource Management: Self-learning automation solution LANCOM Active Radio Control™ 2.0 for optimized Wi-Fi installations at the touch of a button. The scan radio allows constant radio-field monitoring
Saving energy without risk: Intelligent, cloud-based, dynamic optimization through LANCOM Active Power Control to reduce the energy consumption of the Wi-Fi infrastructure while maintaining operational reliability
The LANCOM LX-7500 is available at a price of EUR 1,190 (RRP) excl. VAT, the LX-7300 is available for EUR 899 excl. VAT.
