AWK-4252A Series-1

AWK-4252A Series Outdoor industrial IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless AP/bridge/client Features and Benefits • IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 AP/bridge/client • Concurrent dual-band Wi-Fi with aggregated data rates up to 1.267 Gbps • Latest WPA3 encryption for enhanced wireless network security • Universal (UN) models with configurable country or region code for more flexible deployment • Easy network setup with Network Address Translation (NAT) • Millisecond-level Client-based Turbo Roaming1 • Built-in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band pass filter for more reliable wireless connections • IP68-rated weatherproof housing designed for outdoor applications and -40 to 75°C wide operating temperature range • Integrated antenna isolation • Developed according to the IEC 62443-4-1 and compliant with the IEC 62443-4-2 industrial cybersecurity standards Introduction The AWK-4252A Series 3-in-1 industrial wireless AP/bridge/client is designed to meet the growing need for faster data transmission speeds through IEEE 802.11ac technology for aggregated data rates of up to 1.267 Gbps. The AWK-4252A is compliant with industrial standards and approvals covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration. The two redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply, and the AWK-4252A can be powered via PoE to facilitate flexible deployment. The AWK-4252A can operate concurrently on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and is backwards-compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g/n deployments to future-proof your wireless investments. The AWK-4252A Series is compliant with the IEC 62443-4-2 and IEC 62443-4-1 Industrial Cybersecurity certifications, which cover both product security and secure development life-cycle requirements, helping our customers meet the compliance requirements of secure industrial network design. Advanced 802.11ac Industrial Wireless Solution • 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compliant AP/bridge/client for flexible deployment • DFS channel support allows a wider range of 5 GHz channel selection to avoid interference from existing wireless infrastructure Advanced Wireless Technology • Seamless roaming with client-based Turbo Roaming1 for < 150 ms roaming recovery time between APs (Client Mode) Industrial Ruggedness • -40 to 75°C wide operating temperature for smooth wireless communication in harsh environments • Enhanced antenna port isolation protection designed to withstand up to 30 kV ESD and 6 kV surge protection The Turbo Roaming recovery time indicated herein is an average of test results documented, in optimized conditions, across APs configured with interference-free 20-MHz RF channels, WPA2-PSK security, and default Turbo Roaming parameters. The clients are configured with 3-channel roaming at 100 Kbps traffic load. Other conditions may also impact roaming performance.
