Wi-Fi 6E – the VIP Wi-Fi experience
Be among the first to harness the full power of high-throughput, future-oriented, and interference-free Wi-Fi 6E. This means faster and consistently more stable Wi-Fi, higher capacities for the latest, bandwidth-hungry applications, and lower latency. As a tri-band access point, the LANCOM LX-6500 simultaneously uses the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and now, for the first time, the 6 GHz frequency band reserved exclusively for Wi-Fi applications. With the resulting doubling of the radio spectrum and thus data rates of up to 8.4 Gbps, as well as the exclusivity of Wi-Fi in the 6 GHz range, the LANCOM LX-6500 creates a true VIP Wi-Fi experience in high-traffic Wi-Fi networks.

Your fastest and most stable Wi-Fi yet with Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E with up to 8,400 Mbps
Wi-Fi 6E (IEEE 802.11ax standard) means multi-gigabit speeds and reliable operational continuity. The LANCOM LX-6500 opens up the newly released, interference-free 6 GHz frequency band for your network. It can therefore integrate not only clients in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, but also modern end devices in the 6 GHz band. The improved distribution of clients across the appropriate radio spectrum and channels enables transmission rates of up to 4,800 Mbps in 6 GHz, and concurrently up to 2,400 Mbps in 5 GHz and up to 1,150 Mbps in 2.4 GHz. The efficient use of all available Wi-Fi frequency bands ensures consistently reliable and high-performance Wi-Fi operation.

Interference-free use of the 6 GHz frequency band for modern and future applications
Take a seat in the VIP lounge in Wi-Fi: With the first-ever use of the 6 GHz frequency band, the LANCOM LX-6500 opens up an exclusive, interference-free Wi-Fi radio field. The additional 480 MHz of radio spectrum, the six additional 80 MHz channels, or three additional 160 MHz channels, allow modern high-end devices to operate undisturbed in 6 GHz, relieving the older, overcrowded radio frequencies. As a Wi-Fi 6E access point, the LX-6500 supports channel widths of 20, 40, 80 MHz, and 160 MHz with four streams, thus doubling the previously available Wi-Fi spectrum. This enables modern, business-critical applications such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), 4K and 8K video streaming, as well as cloud and collaboration tools to perform optimally with low latency.

Advantages

Increase capacity with 4×4 Multi-User MIMO in downlink and uplink
Maximize your available bandwidth and minimize delays in the wireless field: Thanks to Wi-Fi 6E, effective multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO for short) can be used in both the downlink and uplink. The LANCOM LX-6500 distributes its available spatial streams to several different clients simultaneously, instead of serving them one after the other as was previously the case. Applications with high data throughput thus run more smoothly and reliably.

Carpooling in the radio field – OFDMA for more efficient data traffic
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) also aims to optimize the use of the radio field: The frequency range of a WLAN channel is divided into several frequency blocks within a unit of time, creating subchannels (subcarriers) with a narrow channel width of up to 2 MHz. This prevents small data packets, which often originate from IoT devices, from taking up and blocking an entire 20, 40, or even 80 MHz channel. In addition, the LX-6500 bundles several subchannels and transports them together like a carpool, enabling the freest and smoothest possible radio traffic.

Flexible operation via cloud, WEBconfig or WLAN controller
Choose freely between operation via the LANCOM Management Cloud, WEBconfig, or a WLAN controller! In cloud operation, the LANCOM LX-6500 becomes part of a user-friendly, holistic, and automated network orchestration. Even in standalone operation, the LX-6500 offers fast configuration and comprehensive management and monitoring thanks to the intuitive, clear web interface of the new WEBconfig. A third option is central management via a WLAN controller.

Longer battery life of clients with TWT
Wi-Fi 6E counteracts the battery-draining, constant reception of clients such as smartphones, tablets, or notebooks with Target Wake Time (TWT): The access point and client now negotiate exactly when the receiver will wake up to receive data packets, instead of assuming that the devices are always ready to receive. This significantly reduces power consumption on the client side.

Flexible power supply via PoE or power supply
The LANCOM LX-6500 can be flexibly operated via Power over Ethernet (PoE) according to IEEE 802.3bt on any PoE-powered Ethernet port. For optimal operation, a suitable PoE switch (4PPoE, PoE++) is ideal. Alternatively, you can power the access point using the optionally available power adapter.

Professional IoT support via BLE and USB
With the LANCOM LX-6500, you can easily immerse yourself in the world of the Internet of Things (IoT). Support for Bluetooth Low Energy (5.1) and USB 3.0 opens up numerous possibilities for communicating with modern Wi-Fi sensors in devices or objects and for using innovative applications such as asset tracking. This allows you to easily operate solutions for digital room signage, electronic shelf labels, and other ePaper applications via the optionally available LANCOM Wireless ePaper USB.
