Overview
The goal of zero-latency-roaming is to allow clients to seamlessly
maintain their communications as they move from one access point to
another. Moxa’s next generation Turbo Roaming technology together
with the WAC-1001 enables 50 ms roaming for enabled AWK-RTG series
devices. This advanced roaming technology delivers high-speed, secure
handoffs within the same subnet and enables clients to roam between APs
in under 50 milliseconds while upholding stringent security in extremely
demanding environments. The WAC-1001 is rated to operate at
temperatures of 0 to 60°C for standard models and -40 to 75°C for
extended temperature models, and is rugged enough for on-site
installation in any harsh industrial environment.
