At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) from February 26 – 29 in Barcelona, German network-infrastructure and security supplier LANCOM Systems is providing a first insight into their future portfolio of Wi-Fi 7 access points. At the stand of LANCOM parent company Rohde & Schwarz (hall 5, booth 5A80), visitors will have an exclusive preview of the first devices to be available from summer 2024. The LANCOM Wi-Fi 7 portfolio offers all of the advantages of the latest wireless LAN generation, which are supplemented by a number of innovative features such as a Scan Radio, redundant PoE supply, and intelligent energy management. The new access points also feature a completely new housing design.
The latest standard Wi-Fi 7, also known as IEEE 802.11be, offers higher data densities, greater channel widths, higher speeds, and innovative functions such as multi-link operation, multi-RU, and puncturing. Like Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7 uses the 6-GHz frequency band, which is reserved exclusively for wireless LAN, as well as the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands. This enables interference-free Wi-Fi operation with minimal latency and maximum data throughput, all of which are essential for real-time applications such as machine controls or virtual reality.
The two new Wi-Fi 7 access points LANCOM LX-7500 and LANCOM LX-7300 were designed with the clear aim of making professional networks more secure and sustainable while at the same time easing the workload on administrators through high levels of automation:
Secure
