The LANCOM LW-500 features two Wi-Fi radio modules, one offering IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 and the other offering IEEE 802.11n. This provides fast Wi-Fi to 11n-clients in the 2.4-GHz frequency band and also the growing number of modern 11ac-enabled devices in the 5-GHz band.

For stand-alone operation, the intuitive web interface of the new WEBconfig provides the best overview for comprehensive management and monitoring. The device is set up in a moments. Modern dashboards clearly display the current Wi-Fi status and enable the simple configuration of individual Wi-Fi networks (SSID) and the associated network keys. Other options include smart features such as the easy integration of new clients using QR codes.

The LANCOM LW-500 offers unsurpassed user-friendliness: Managed through the LANCOM Management Cloud, it integrates into a holistic, automated network orchestration system based on software-defined networking technology.

The LANCOM LW-500 offers the best possible flexibility in terms of operating mode. In addition to stand-alone operation or integration into the LANCOM Management Cloud, management can also be performed centrally via a WLAN controller.

The white LANCOM LW-500 with integrated antennas has an unobtrusive and harmonious form. The round design similar to a smoke detector makes it ideal for unobtrusive use in hotel lobbies or conference rooms. It blends seamlessly into any environment.

Thanks to the power supply via power over Ethernet as per IEEE 802.3af, the LANCOM LW-500 operates at any PoE-powered Ethernet port. Alternatively, the access point operates with a power supply unit supplied with various plug adapters (EU, UK, US, AU).

WPA3, the successor of WPA2, offers important upgrades and security features for small ("WPA3-Personal") and large networks ("WPA3-Enterprise").

Quick and easy network integration of the LANCOM LW-500 as well as automatic assignment of the configuration—without manual effort. In combination with the LANCOM Management Cloud, the access point receives the right configuration immediately after network authentication.

With numerous integrated security features such as IEEE 802.1X, this access point provides optimal security for networks. Administrators and employees alike benefit from professional security policies on the network.

Offer your guests a secure and user-friendly hotspot with the LANCOM LW-500. This requires the access point to be operated directly on a Public Spot-enabled LANCOM device or via the LANCOM Management Cloud together with a Public Spot-enabled LANCOM device in your network. As a hotspot provider, rest assured that your internal network remains fully isolated from the hotspot.

The LANCOM LW-500 supports the high-speed WLAN standard IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 (Wi-Fi 5), so you are well equipped for future challenges. LANCOM Systems gives you a 3-year warranty on the LW-500. And you also benefit from the high LANCOM standards on the software side: several times a year you receive free major releases of the LCOS LX operating system with new, future-proof features. Even if a product is no longer avail­able, we offer free major releases, critical security fixes (security updates) based on the last available software version, and free technical manufac­turer support as part of the LANCOM software lifecycle management for at least another 2 years.
