LANCOM LX-6402
Versatile Wi-Fi 6 with high-efficiency throughput for large numbers of devices
In high-density environments, wireless networks with many concurrent users— such as at schools, universities,
sports stadiums, concert halls, open-plan offices, shopping centers, or environments with a high density of IoT
devices— are guaranteed an excellent Wi-Fi experience when operating the LANCOM LX-6402. This Wi-Fi 6
access point offers low latency and high throughput for every client, even with large numbers of concurrent
users. External Wi-Fi antenna connectors deliver maximum versatility. So put your trust in high-efficiency
wireless— made by LANCOM, “ Made in Germany” .

LANCOM LX-6402
Dual concurrent Wi-Fi with up to 2400 Mbps
The LANCOM LX-6402 offers the Wi-Fi 6 standard (IEEE
802.11ax) for clients in the 2.4- and 5-GHz bands. Wi-Fi 6
technology features an 80-MHz channel width and a higher
modulation density with QAM-1024 to achieve transmission
rates of up to 2400 Mbps at 5 GHz and simultaneously up
to 1200 Mbps at 2.4 GHz.
4x4 Multi-User MIMO for downlinks and uplinks
Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO for short) simultaneously
distributes all of the available spatial streams of the LANCOM
LX-6402 between several different clients, rather than one
after the other as was formerly the case. The available
bandwidth is used efficiently and delays in the wireless
network are substantially reduced. With Wi-Fi 6, MU-MIMO
operates not only for the downlink but for the uplink as well.
OFDMA – carpooling in the radio field
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
divides the frequency range of a Wi-Fi channel into a number
of frequency blocks per unit of time. This creates subcarriers,
which can be as narrow as just 2 MHz. Small data packets,
so typical of IoT devices, no longer block entire 20-, 40- or
even 80-MHz channels all by themselves. On the other hand,
the Wi-Fi 6 access point is able to bundle multiple subcarriers.
This is bit like carpooling, which stops the traffic being
blocked by cars with just one occupant: Instead, the streets
are freed up with just a few cars carrying several occupants.
160 MHz channel width
The access point can handle channel bandwidths of 20, 40
and 80 MHz (with 4 streams) and 160 MHz (with 2 streams).
The channel width of 160 MHz enables a data throughput
of up to 2400 Mbps on appropriate terminals with two
antennas that support the reception of two streams at 160
MHz.
Longer battery life thanks to TWT
Previously, smartphones, tablets and notebooks had to be
ready to receive all the time so as not to miss their data
packets. This can quickly use up battery charge. Wi-Fi 6
delivers a new technology to counteract power consumption
on the client side. Target Wake Time, TWT for short, reduces
consumption by allowing the access point and the client to
negotiate exactly when the receiver should wake up to hear
the sender's call.
Band steering
Optimized load balancing in your Wi-Fi by actively redirecting
clients to the less congested and higher performance 5-GHz
frequency band.
Operates via the LANCOM Management Cloud
The LANCOM LX-6402 offers unsurpassed user-friendliness:
Managed through the LANCOM Management Cloud, it
integrates into a holistic, automated network orchestration
system based on software-defined networking technology.
Operation via WLC is in preparation
The LANCOM LX-6402 access point is due to operate with
WLAN controllers as of early 2020. The alternative for
centralized management is the LANCOM Management Cloud.
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.
Versatile power supply
Thanks to the power supply via power over Ethernet as per
IEEE 802.3at, the LANCOM LX-6402 operates at any
PoE-powered Ethernet port. Alternatively, the access point
operates with a power supply unit supplied with various plug
adapters (EU, UK, US, AU).
