Outstanding Network Performance

Leverage the Moxa AWK 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 products that offer up to 1.775 Gbps speeds and 80 MHz channels to support demanding IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) applications. Wi-Fi 6 delivers a step change in wireless performance by harnessing the power of MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple input, multiple output) and OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access). MU-MIMO allows multiple users to transmit and subscribe to data streams at the same time, increasing users' data throughput, and includes support for eight spatial streams for both upload and download. OFDMA allows more efficient use of the spectrum to facilitate wideband, high-speed, low-latency communication in congested areas. This can allow more AMRs to operate off a single warehouse access point, because they can get a decent signal and sufficient throughput without countersignaling each other's data packets. With these technologies that increase performance, industrial Wi-Fi 6 will provide a great option to build a base for the real-time, data-demanding applications, like industrial automation

Reliable Wireless Communication

Moxa's AWK Series offers Turbo Roaming with millisecond-level handovers, keeping wireless connections fully fluid and seamless in highly mobile networking situations. The AWK's rugged design can operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C and is designed to withstand electrical interference. This will provide the best reliability in the most demanding environments.

Hardened Security for Critical OT Systems

Moxa security-hardened AWK Wi-Fi 6 Series incorporates a range of security features that reference IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2 to provide protection against cyberthreats for critical OT systems. Meanwhile, it also provides a trusted and reliable operation. The reason why you need the latest WPA3 data encryption and network address translation (NAT) lies in the fact that these features will ultimately enable you to meet the compliance requirements of secure network design and simplify outbound connections.

Compact Form Factor for Simple Machine Integration

Moxa’s AWK-1160 Series contains one of the smallest standalone industrial Wi-Fi 6 form factors available, allowing for integration into tight machine enclosures. Further, the AWK-1165A series and AWK-1165C series have five Ethernet switch ports, eliminating an additional part and having a smaller footprint, which can alleviate deployments and improve efficiency across factory automation, packaging, and assembly lines.

Centralized, Scalable Management With AeroMesh

Thanks to AeroMesh technology, advanced AWK models support self-forming and self-healing mesh networks to maintain a stable communication experience even when the network changes. Equipped with MXview One Wireless, the entire wireless topology and link status can be visualized in real-time to help teams monitor and troubleshoot more efficiently. Universal model support also contributes to an easier deployment process in multinational scenarios. Configurable RF region settings enable these industrial Wi-Fi access points to comply with the requirements of different markets, relieving some of the regulatory certification burden to help ease deployment.
