LANCOM IAP-821
Professional Wi-Fi for the highest demands in the industry
Extreme temperatures, dust and vibrations: This rugged industrial access point stands up to any hardship. It is the ideal solution for special challenges in warehousing and logistics, for equipping mobile machines, or for covered outdoor areas. Take networks to the toughest environments using the best available Wi-Fi from reliable Wi-Fi 5 access points “Engineered in Germany”.
- Single operation WLAN – optional operation at 5 GHz with up to 867 Mbps with IEEE 802.11ac or in 2.4GHz with up to 300 Mbps in IEEE 802.11n
- Robust full metal housing with protection rating IP-50 for maximum reliability in rough environments
- Reliable even at demanding temperatures (-20°C bis +50°C)
- Dynamic WLAN optimization thanks to LANCOM Active Radio Control (ARC)
Single operation WLAN with up to 867 Mbps
The LANCOM IAP-821 is a powerful 11ac WLAN industrial access point. It provides 11n and 11ac clients optionally in the 2.4-GHz frequency band or 5-GHz band with 867 Mbps WLAN.
Robust full metal housing
Thanks to the resistant full metal housing the industrial access point convinces even in rough environments with a heavy dust occurrence with a high robustness. Thus, the device is optimally protected against external influences and ideally suits for WLAN applications in warehouses or covered event areas.
Extended temperature range
Thanks to an extended temperature range from -20 °C to +50 °C the device offers a reliable radio connection and a high WLAN availability even at extreme conditions.
Active Radio Control for dynamic radio-field optimization
The LANCOM IAP-821 supports the WLAN optimization concept LANCOM Active Radio Control. This intelligent combination of innovative features included with the LCOS operating system – such as Adaptive Noise Immunity, RF Optimization, and Client Steering – sustainably increases WLAN performance and supports administrators with professional tools for WLAN management.
LANCOM security for wireless networks
With numerous integrated security features, such as IEEE 802.1X, the LANCOM IAP-821 provides optimal security for networks. As a result, employees and visitors all benefit from security policies in the network.
Support for zero-touch deployment
By supporting zero-touch deployment, the LANCOM IAP-821 is quickly and easily integrated and configured without having to access the configuration UI. In combination with a WLAN controller or the LANCOM Management Cloud the access point receives an appropriate configuration immediately after network authentication.
Secure integration of external users
In combination with the LANCOM Public Spot Option, the LANCOM IAP-821 is ideal for operating hotspots. Users benefits from a hotspot that is secure and easy-to-use, while hotspot operators can be sure that their own network remains separate from the hotspot.
Maximum future viability
LANCOM products are designed for a service life of several years and are equipped with hardware dimensioned for the future. Even reaching back to older product generations, updates to the LANCOM Operating System – LCOS – are available several times a year, free of charge and offering major features.
Wi-Fi out of the box
“The sound planning and implementation of a professional Wi-Fi according to the needs of the companies contributes to providing a reliable and secure wireless IT network connection. If the number of devices with their data transfer requirements exceeds the capacity of the IT network, the performance suffers, the susceptibility to interference increases and work processes are slowed down or even interrupted. Data loss and economic damage such as loss of productivity and revenue are the consequences. Outdated IT networks with low radio frequencies can no longer meet the growing data transfer challenges and quickly turn into bottlenecks.” – techconsult survey from 2023
Wi-Fi optimization at the push of a button: LANCOM Active Radio Control 2.0
With the new automation solution LANCOM Active Radio Control 2.0 (ARC 2.0), you rely on holistic, self-learning optimization of your Wi-Fi installation.
