Exceptional Network Performance

Moxa AWK 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 solutions provide speeds of up to 1.775 Gbps and 80 MHz channels, with a focus on demanding IIOT applications. Wi-Fi 6 significantly enhances wireless performance through MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple input, multiple output) and OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access). MU-MIMO increases data throughput capabilities, carrying data for multiple users simultaneously, and supports up to eight spatial streams for uploads and downloads. OFDMA maximizes spectrum efficiency for high-speed, low-latency communications and can support more connections in crowded spaces when connectivity is at a premium. For instance, faster and neighboring autonomous mobile robots (AMR) can share a single warehouse access point with other devices while maintaining the same level of signal and bandwidth. These features are vital for real-time wireless communication in robotic systems, AMRs, and other mobile platforms that require low latency and high bandwidth to function reliably.

More Dependable Wireless Communications

Built for critical operations in extreme environments, the AWK Series uses Turbo Roaming to offer seamless transitions between access points to maintain wireless connectivity consistency, even in fast-moving or mobile applications. When environmental conditions become difficult, the devices are built into a rugged form to operate in temperature ranges from -40 to 75°C. Also, they are resistant to EMI and other industrial interferences, so they can be used confidently in demanding settings such as automation plants and remote installations.

Industrial-Grade Security Tailored for Operational Technology

Moxa’s AWK Wi-Fi 6 access points are backed by industrial-grade security standards aligned with IEC 62443-4-2 Level 2, featuring internal protections that ensure the safety of operational assets. Supporting WPA3 and integrated NAT functionality, these devices are designed to simplify secure outbound communications and protect against unauthorized access. Protective security capabilities like these allow industrial enterprises to comply with regulatory standards for cybersecurity while still supporting modern wireless networking.

Effortless Machine Integration

The AWK Series from Moxa has been designed to be compact to make installation into machines easier. The AWK-1160 Series, Moxa’s entry-level Wi-Fi 6 Series product, is one of the smallest standalone industrial Wi-Fi 6 AP/clients, designed for integration alongside machines with small cabinets. The AWK-1165A Series and AWK-1165C Series, the five-port versions of the AWK-1160 Series, include 5 embedded switch ports to facilitate machine integration and lessen the amount of installation space required.

Seamless Network Management

Moxa’s AeroMesh technology allows the advanced AWK Wi-Fi 6 Series to provide resilient, intelligent Wi-Fi networks consisting of self-forming and self-healing mesh connections. MXview One Wireless add-on provides a layer of management efficiency by visualizing dynamic wireless connections and link changes, facilitating more efficient monitoring and troubleshooting in real time. For global deployments in countries, compliance with RF regulations is key. With the AWK Series universal (UN) models, you can configure a country or region code to ensure your wireless network meets local/regional requirements.
