LANCOM LX-6500E

Combined power for
Wi-Fi 6E and digital signage
The LANCOM LX-6500E is your ticket to the VIP lounge in Wi-Fi: In addition to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, you can now also use the 6 GHz band reserved exclusively for Wi-Fi applications! The Wi-Fi 6E access point doubles the previously available radio spectrum, providing a power data rate of 8.4 Gbps, aggregated over all frequency bands. An additional radio module enables digital signage solutions for electronic price tags and industrial IoT applications that coexist with your Wi-Fi without any problems. Experience an exclusive, particularly low-latency, high-throughput and stable Wi-Fi, which performs perfectly even with bandwidth-hungry applications such as video streaming and high-end device densities!

Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E with up to 8,400 Mbps for your highest throughput and most reliable WLAN yet
Wi-Fi 6E (IEEE 802.11ax standard) delivers multi-gigabit speeds and smooth WLAN operation. The LANCOM LX-6500E opens up the newly released, interference-free 6 GHz frequency band for your network. This makes it possible to integrate clients in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands as well as modern end devices in the 6 GHz band. The better distribution of clients to the radio spectra and channels that suit them leads to transmission rates of up to 4,800 Mbps in 6 GHz and, in parallel, up to 2,400 Mbps in 5 GHz and up to 1,150 Mbps in 2.4 GHz. The result: All available WLAN frequency bands are used efficiently and Wi-Fi operation remains stable and powerful.

Integrated radio module for digital signage
The radio module integrated in the LANCOM LX-6500E for controlling digital displays from the manufacturers VUSION and PDi Digital enables the smooth and cost-efficient implementation of digital signage projects. Electronic price tags or shelf labels in the warehouse, status updates at workstations, information displays - digital signage offers numerous application possibilities. This access point with Wi-Fi 6E ensures both fast, reliable Wi-Fi and parallel, interference-free communication with digital displays.

Interference-free 6 GHz frequency band for even the most advanced devices and applications
A dedicated frequency band just for WLAN, free of interference, and perfect for business-critical, modern applications such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), 4K and 8K video streaming, and cloud and collaboration tools – sounds like an exclusive VIP club in WLAN? The LANCOM LX-6500E gives you access to use the 6 GHz frequency band. With an extra 480 MHz of radio spectrum and the 6 additional 80 MHz channels or the 3 additional 160 MHz channels, modern high-end devices operate undisturbed in 6 GHz and older, overcrowded radio frequencies are offloaded. Double your previously available WLAN spectrum with the LX-6500E: as a Wi-Fi 6E access point, it handles channel widths of 20, 40, 80 MHz as well as 160 MHz with 4 streams, ensuring the lowest possible latency.

Advantages

Less data congestion with 4x4 multi-user MIMO in the downlink and uplink
Applications with high data throughputs could run even smoother and more reliably for you? Then rely on the increased capacity of the LX-6500E! Thanks to Wi-Fi 6E, the effective multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO for short) can be used in the downlink as well as in the uplink, making the best possible use of the available total capacity in the radio spectrum. Waiting clients are distributed across all available spatial streams, thus minimizing bottleneck effects.

Carpooling in the radio field – OFDMA for more efficient data traffic
The radio field can be used even more optimally: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) splits the frequency range of a Wi-Fi channel into several frequency blocks within a unit of time, creating subchannels (subcarriers) with a narrow channel width of up to 2 MHz. Small data packets, which among other things often originate from IoT devices, can thus no longer take up and block an entire channel of 20, 40 or even 80 MHz width. By bundling several subchannels, the LX-6500E also creates a kind of carpool for data packets and thus enables radio traffic to flow as freely and smoothly as possible.

Flexible operation via cloud, WEBconfig, or WLAN controller
You control your Wi-Fi and you choose how you manage it: Via the LANCOM Management Cloud, WEBconfig, or a WLAN controller. Cloud operation makes the LANCOM LX-6500E part of a user-friendly, holistic, and automated network orchestration. Stand-alone operation also offers fast configuration and comprehensive management & monitoring of the LX-6500E with an intuitive, clearly structured WEBconfig. As a third option, management can also be selected centrally via a WLAN controller.

Higher battery runtimes of clients with TWT
Wi-Fi 6E significantly reduces the power consumption of clients such as smartphones, tablets, or notebooks with Target Wake Time (TWT): Access point and client now negotiate when exactly the receiver will wake up to receive the data packets, instead of assuming that the devices are always in a battery-consuming permanent receive state.

Flexible power supply via PoE or power supply unit
The LANCOM LX-6500E can be operated flexibly on any PoE-powered Ethernet port via Power over Ethernet (PoE) in accordance with IEEE 802.3bt. For optimum operation, ideally a corresponding PoE switch (4PPoE, PoE++) is used. Alternatively, you can supply the access point with power via the optionally available power supply unit.

Further IoT support via BLE and USB
With the LANCOM LX-6500E, you can easily dive into the world of the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Support for Bluetooth Low Energy (5.1) and USB 3.0 opens up many possibilities for you to communicate with modern WLAN sensors in devices or objects and use innovative applications such as asset tracking.
