Introduction

The AWK-1165C Series industrial wireless client is designed to meet the growing need for efficient data transmissions in high-density deployments scenarios through IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) technology. The AWK-1165C is compliant with industrial standards and approvals covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration. The compact form factor with DIN-rail or optional wall mounting easily fits into industrial machines or control cabinets, offering reliable wireless connectivity. The AWK-1165C can operate on the 2.4 or 5 GHz band and is backwards compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g/n/ac deployments to future-proof your wireless investments.

Advanced 802.11ax Industrial Wireless Solution

802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 compliant client backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 4/ Wi-Fi 5 for flexible deployment
DFS channel support allows a wider range of 5 GHz channel selection to avoid interference from existing wireless infrastructure
Wi-Fi 6 OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) technology enables concurrent communication with multiple clients for improved network efficiency
Wi-Fi 6 TWT (Target Wake Time) technology facilitates better scheduling and longer device battery life

Advanced Wireless Technology

Seamless roaming with client-based Turbo Roaming 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. For more information about Turbo Roaming parameter settings, refer to the product manual. for < 150 ms roaming recovery time between APs

Industrial Ruggedness

Integrated antenna isolation designed to provide protection against external electrical interference
-40 to 75°C wide operating temperature (-T) models for smooth wireless communication in harsh environments
