The 802.11n-compliant LANCOM OAP-321 outdoor access point is designed for easy-to-set-up high-speed outdoor wireless bridges. The integrated 5-GHz antenna allows data rates that match cable-based broadband connections. It makes history of the labor-intensive process of installing and aligning an additional antenna! The LANCOM OAP-321 can be used to establish site-to-site connections over several kilometers. It is the right choice for wireless ISPs wishing to provide customers with a fast and dependable wireless connection. The unit provides maximum flexibility thanks to additional connections for external antennas in the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz frequency ranges.
More Performance
The latest 802.11n WLAN standard and the multipath propagation of the integrated dual polarization antennas provide excellent results over 5-GHz wireless bridge links. 40-MHz channel bundling, which can be configured in LANconfig, provides an additional performance boost enabling transmission paths with high throughput rates over many kilometers.
More Simplicity
The LANCOM OAP-321 makes it particularly easy to install powerful wireless transmission paths in the 5-GHz range. The device already has an integrated antenna, so there is no need to install and align an external antenna. The benefits of this are: There is no loss in antenna performance because there are no adapters or antenna cables to attenuate the signals and reduce wireless performance. This allows the full 17-dBI performance to be used for high throughput over several kilometers.
More Management
A management system is vital outdoors where conditions are difficult, for example when it is difficult to see the LEDs on an access point mounted on a tall mast. The free LCMS LANCOM Management System allows the monitoring of all device functions and provides an overview of the entire network. It is possible to check whether the access points are transmitting and, if so, on which channels, how much data each one is sending, which clients are logged in and where, what encryption method is active, and a whole lot more. Maximum control is also possible with regard to configuration: The access point supports TACACS+. Using the AAA protocol ("authentication, authorization, accounting") it is possible to track all activities relating to the configuration of the access point.
More Reliability for the future
LANCOM products stand for durability and dependability. For this reason we invest a great deal of time in designing our equipment and in corresponding quality assurance measures. With outdoor products we attach great importance to the right materials for housings and coatings. This enables LANCOM outdoor devices to resist the elements for many years. The hardware components inside our units are selected in such a way that there will be enough memory to accommodate future software versions without impacting performance. A LANCOM access point also guarantees a long life with regard to software: We provide updates several times a year for our LCOS operating system containing new features and improved functionality.
