LANCOM LN-862

Dual-radio enterprise-class 11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi access point with up to 867 Mbps – 100% Cloud-ready

The LANCOM LN-862 is a high-performance 11ac Wi-Fi Wave 2 enterprise access point. Based on the Wi-Fi

standard IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2, this device significantly increases the efficiency of any wireless network. Featuring

Multi-User MIMO, it allows all of the available streams to be used by several clients at the same time. The clients

also benefit from beamforming for a better signal. The LANCOM LN-862 provides fast Wi-Fi to 11n-clients in

the 2.4-GHz frequency band as well as the growing number of 11ac-enabled devices in the 5-GHz band. On top

of that, the access point can be versatilely operated: it can be orchestrated via the LANCOM Management Cloud,

centrally managed by a WLAN controller or operated as a stand-alone device.

Dual concurrent Wi-Fi – parallel operation at 2.4 and 5 GHz with up to 867 Mbps

with IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 and 300 Mbps with IEEE 802.11n

2x2 Multi-User MIMO for simultaneous beam-steering for multiple clients

Beamforming steers the signal towards the Wi-Fi clients

Supports 160-MHz channel width

Dynamic WLAN optimization thanks to LANCOM Active Radio Control (ARC)

Professional security features such as IEEE 802.1X

SD-WLAN – automatic WLAN configuration via the LANCOM Management Cloud

Integrated layer-7 application detection

LANCOM LN-862

Dual concurrent Wi-Fi with up to 867 Mbps

The LANCOM LN-862 features two Wi-Fi radio modules, one

offering IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 and the other offering IEEE

802.11n. This provides fast Wi-Fi to 11n-clients in the

2.4-GHz frequency band and also the growing number of

modern 11ac-enabled devices in the 5-GHz band.

2x2 Multi-User MIMO

Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO for short) simultaneously

distributes all of the available spatial streams of the LANCOM

LN-862 between several different Wave 2 clients, rather than

one after the other as was formerly the case. The available

bandwidth is used more efficiently and delays in the wireless

network are substantially reduced.

Beamforming

The LANCOM LN-862 uses beamforming to actively steer

the signal to the clients and minimize interfering radio signals

for other clients. In combination with MU-MIMO, the clients

receive dedicated spatial streams with a minimum of

interference, which positively influences the data rates for

all of the clients.

160-MHz channel width

Increasing the channel width from 80 to 160 MHz doubles

the performance for Wave 2 clients. By optimizing the use

of the radio spectrum, a client can be supplied with a data

rate of up to 867 Mbps.

Active Radio Control for dynamic radio-field

optimization

The LANCOM LN-862 supports the WLAN optimization

feature LANCOM Active Radio Control. This intelligent

combination of innovative features included with the LCOS

operating system—such as Band Steering, Adaptive Noise

Immunity, Adaptive RF Optimization, Airtime Fairness 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, this enterprise-class access point provides optimal

security for networks. Administrators and employees alike

benefit from professional security policies on the network.

Operation via LANCOM Management Cloud, WLAN

controller or stand-alone

The LANCOM LN-862 can be versatilely operated: Managed

via the LANCOM Management Cloud it is integrated into a

comprehensive, automized network orchestration, based on

Software-defined Networking technology. It can also be

operated via a LANCOM WLAN controller or be applied in

stand-alone oparation.

Layer-7 application detection

Knowing what the bandwidth in your network is actually

being used for can be crucial in any industry. Layer-7

application detection gives you a completely transparent

overview. This means that the user-friendly LANCOM

Management Cloud delivers clear and professional insight

into exactly which applications (such as YouTube, Netflix,

etc.) are operating anywhere on the network—true added

value for all-round network monitoring.

Elegant LANCOM design with external antennas

The white LANCOM LN-862 with external antennas has a

fascinating, puristic elegance. Its modern design is ideal for

operation in any industry as it blends seamlessly into any

environment. It also has connectors for external antennas

for maximum flexibility and tailor-made Wi-Fi coverage,

whatever your needs.
