Access Point LANCOM LX-6500E Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz 5 GHz 6 GHz

The LANCOM LX-6500E is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6E access point designed to provide robust, multi-gigabit connectivity across the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz frequency bands. With a maximum aggregate data transfer rate of 8400 Mbit/s, this device is engineered to handle bandwidth-intensive applications and high-density environments with ease. It features an integrated radio module for digital signage and IoT applications, ensuring that modern business environments remain connected and efficient. The sleek white design and flexible management options make it a versatile choice for professional networking infrastructures.

Advantages

The device leverages Wi-Fi 6E technology to provide an interference-free 6 GHz spectrum, significantly reducing congestion in crowded network environments. By utilizing 4x4 MU-MIMO in both downlink and uplink, the access point ensures that multiple devices can communicate simultaneously without bottlenecks. The integration of OFDMA technology optimizes data traffic by splitting channels into smaller sub-carriers, which is particularly beneficial for IoT devices and small data packets. Furthermore, the inclusion of Target Wake Time (TWT) helps extend the battery life of connected client devices by coordinating communication schedules. The access point also offers flexible power options via Power over Ethernet (PoE) or an external power supply, alongside versatile management through cloud, web interface, or centralized controllers.

Suitable for

• High-density office environments and enterprise networks
• Digital signage and electronic price tag management
• Industrial IoT applications and asset tracking
• Bandwidth-heavy tasks like 4K/8K video streaming and AR/VR
• Environments requiring low-latency communication

This access point may not be suitable for small residential setups where the advanced enterprise-grade features, such as centralized controller management or multi-band 6 GHz support, are not required. Additionally, it may be overkill for environments that lack PoE infrastructure or do not have Wi-Fi 6E compatible client devices to fully utilize the 6 GHz band.

Key specifications

• Frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz
• Maximum data transfer rate: 8400 Mbit/s
• Ethernet LAN ports: 2 (RJ-45)
• Ethernet data rates: 10, 100, 1000, 2500 Mbit/s
• Security protocols: EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, TKIP
• Power consumption: 33 W
• Networking standards: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/d/h/i/v

To use the LANCOM LX-6500E, connect the device to your network infrastructure using the provided Ethernet ports. Power can be supplied via a PoE-capable switch or an optional external power adapter. Once powered, you can configure the device through the intuitive WEBconfig interface, a centralized WLAN controller, or the LANCOM Management Cloud. Ensure that your network switches support the required speeds to take full advantage of the 2.5 Gbps Ethernet capability.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your existing network infrastructure supports PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) for optimal performance.
• Verify that your client devices support Wi-Fi 6E to utilize the 6 GHz frequency band.
• Consider the mounting location to ensure optimal signal coverage for the tri-band radio.
• Determine your preferred management method: cloud, local web interface, or hardware controller.

Usage recommendations: For the best performance in high-density areas, position the access point centrally on the ceiling. Regularly update the firmware via the management interface to ensure the latest security patches and performance optimizations are applied.
