Access Point LANCOM OX-6402 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11ac

The LANCOM OX-6402 is an outdoor-capable access point offering dual‑band Wi‑Fi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with Wi‑Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) support. Housed in an IP67 metal enclosure, it is designed for high-density outdoor environments and delivers aggregated wireless throughput up to 3,550 Mbps (up to 2,400 Mbps on 5 GHz and up to 1,150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz). The unit includes four omnidirectional external antennas with N-type connectors and provides Ethernet connectivity with multi-gigabit ports supporting 10/100/1000/2,500 Mbit/s. Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation is supported and PoE Passthrough allows the device to power a downstream PoE device such as an IP camera. Advanced EAP authentication methods (EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS) and cloud-management capability enable secure, centrally managed deployments.

Advantages

The OX-6402 combines Wi‑Fi 6 performance, rugged IP67 protection and flexible antenna options to suit wide-area or focused coverage needs. Multi-gig Ethernet and PoE/PoE Passthrough reduce cabling complexity while enabling connected devices to be powered from a single cable. External antenna connectors allow the use of sector or directional antennas for targeted coverage or medium-distance point‑to‑point links. The access point supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.1) and USB 3.0 for IoT integrations and peripheral devices. Regular firmware releases and the LANCOM lifecycle policy provide ongoing software updates and technical support.

Suitable for

• High-density outdoor areas such as stadiums, amusement parks and schoolyards
• Outdoor coverage for campuses, industrial sites and public hotspots
• Installations requiring PoE Passthrough to power additional devices (e.g., IP cameras)
• Deployments needing centralized cloud or controller-based management

• Additional interfaces: Bluetooth Low Energy (5.1) and USB 3.0 for IoT peripherals

How to use

Mount the access point in a weather-protected or exposed outdoor location using appropriate brackets and ensure external antennas are fitted or replaced as required for the desired coverage. Connect the primary Ethernet port to a PoE-capable switch or injector that supports IEEE 802.3at or IEEE 802.3bt to provide power; when using a PoE 802.3bt source the device can also supply a downstream PoE device via PoE Passthrough. Integrate the device into a LANCOM Management Cloud installation or a compatible WLAN controller to enable zero‑touch provisioning and centralized configuration. Configure SSIDs, security (EAP methods) and guest network separation via the management platform and verify firmware is up to date before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

For optimal coverage in high-density outdoor areas, position the access point to minimize obstructions and choose external sector or directional antennas for focused coverage of crowded zones. Use a PoE 802.3bt source when powering additional downstream devices via PoE Passthrough, and enable centralized management for scalable deployment and regular security updates.
