MOXA launches a new industrial Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) wireless access point AWK-3252A-UN with increased wireless speed and support for WPA3 encryption. Wi-Fi 5 allows the AWK-3252A to transmit data on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz at speeds up to 1.3 Gbps, as well as connect up to 200 clients, which is useful for organizing wireless communication of multiple devices in automated warehouses and production shops.
The AWK-3252A-UN-T is also available. It is capable of operating at temperatures from -40 to +75 C, while AWK-3252A-UN operates in the range from -25 to +60 C.
See a brief comparison of AWK-3252A with the previous model AWK-3131A:
Name | AWK-3131A | AWK-3252A |
---|---|---|
Wi-Fi standard | Wi-Fi 4, 802.11n | Wi-Fi 5, 802.11ac wave 2 |
Wireless connection speed | 300 Mbps | 1300 Mbps |
Transmitter power | 26 dBm | 29 dBm |
Number of clients | 100 | 200 |
AWK-3252A access points can work both in access point mode and in client mode, as well as act as a sniffer, which allows you to identify problems during data transmission and optimize the Wi-Fi network. To ensure the protection of wireless data transfer, support for the WPA3 protocol has appeared, which guarantees a modern level of security.
The AWK-3252A-UN implements the ability to specify a country in the settings, which allows you to adjust the frequency range and output power of the transmitter in accordance with regional standards. In addition, the AWK-3252A has a Client-based Turbo Roaming feature that allows the client to switch to another access point in milliseconds, as opposed to the standard switching in a few seconds.
