More about Wi-Fi 6

High reliability in all weather conditions

The R&S®LANCOM OW-602 has a rugged IP67 protective housing, making it completely dust- and waterproof. In addition, a temperature range of -30°C to +65°C guarantees reliable operation under extreme conditions.

Wi-Fi optimization with one click - with R&S®LANCOM Active Radio Control 2.0

Scan, analyze, and optimize – that’s all it takes to make your Wi-Fi more efficient, even at locations with data-intensive applications, high user densities, or interfering external networks. That’s exactly the task handled by the R&S®LANCOM Active Radio Control 2.0 (ARC 2.0) automation solution! Even under complex conditions, you benefit from holistic, self-learning optimization of your Wi-Fi installation with improved channel distribution, channel width usage, and transmit power. Additionally, ARC 2.0 can prioritize access points managed via the R&S®LANCOM Management Cloud according to their actual usage, providing capacity exactly where it is needed based on real usage patterns. This saves your IT administrators manual effort and ensures you get the most out of your Wi-Fi installation.

Advantages

Zero-Touch Deployment

Quick and easy network integration of the access point as well as automatic configuration assignment-without manual configuration. In WLAN controller- or R&S®LANCOM Management Cloud-based installations, the access point immediately receives a suitable configuration after network authentication.

Integrated BLE technology

A radio module integrated into the R&S®LANCOM OW-602 serves as the technical foundation for modern BLE beaconing applications, such as asset tracking and visitor counting.

Secure integration of external users

Using a cloud-managed hotspot via R&S®LANCOM Management Cloud, the R&S®LANCOM OW-602 is ideal for providing WLAN hotspots. The user benefits from secure and convenient Wi-Fi access, and the hotspot provider has the assurance that its own network remains separate from the guest network.

WLAN security standard WPA3

WPA3, the successor to WPA2, offers important enhancements and security features for small ("WPA3-Personal") and large ("WPA3-Enterprise") networks. WPA3-Personal uses the modern and secure authentication method Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE).

Flexible operation via R&S®LANCOM Management Cloud, web interface or WLC

Choose freely between operation via the R&S®LANCOM Management Cloud, stand-alone via WEBconfig or a WLAN controller! In cloud mode, the R&S®LANCOM OW-602  becomes part of a user-friendly, holistic and automated network management system. Even in stand-alone operation, the OW-602 offers fast configuration and comprehensive management and monitoring thanks to the intuitive, clear web interface of the new WEBconfig. As a third option, management can also be selected centrally via a WLAN controller.

Application scenarios

Wi-Fi coverage in high-density environments

In areas with a high user density, such as airports, exhibition centers, or stadiums,…

In areas with a high user density, such as airports, exhibition centers, or stadiums, reliable Wi-Fi coverage for all clients in the network can pose particular challenges. This is where the use of Wi-Fi sector antennas is ideal. These can be used to focus the Wi-Fi signal and thus increase the signal strength and quality in a specific area. By avoiding unplanned signal scattering in all directions, interference and overlaps with other networks can be reduced at the same time, which also increases the Wi-Fi quality.

High-speed point-to-point connections (P2P)

With P2P connections, extensive areas with long distances can be bridged outdoors in a targeted manner and thus buildings located at different distances can be securely connected to each other via Wi-Fi. By setting up a wireless network with directional antennas, neither complex cabling nor an expensive dedicated line for network expansions are required.

WLAN 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
