Introduction

The AWK-1161A Series is a range of compact industrial wireless APs designed for streamlined connectivity in demanding indoor environments. They are ideal for providing a dedicated, high-performance wireless link to a single machine, controller, or mobile equipment in factory automation systems. The compact design allows for flexible installation in control cabinets or equipment housing, ensuring stable operations where space is limited. Leveraging Wi-Fi 6 OFDMA and spatial reuse technologies, these APs deliver robust and efficient communication, even in high-density environments. The AWK-1161A Series’ robust design with a wide -40 to 75°C operating temperature range ensures optimal reliability. For consistent connectivity, the built-in 2.4/5 GHz band-pass filter minimizes out-of-band interference, while antenna isolation protects against ESD and power surges.

WLAN Interface

WLAN Standards
2.4 GHz: 802.11ax with 1024 QAM support, 20/40 MHz 5 GHz: 802.11ax with 1024 QAM support, 20/40/80 MHz WMM for QoS
Frequency Band for UN (20 MHz operating channels)
2.412 to 2.472 GHz (13 channels) 5.180 to 5.240 GHz (4 channels) 5.745 to 5.825 GHz (5 channels) Available channels change depending on the selected country or region code. 5.500 to 5.700 GHz (11 channels) DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) channel support: In AP mode, when a radar signal is detected, the device will automatically switch to another channel. However, according to regulations, after switching channels, a 60-second availability check period is required before starting the service. 5.260 to 5.320 GHz (4 channels) DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) channel support: In AP mode, when a radar signal is detected, the device will automatically switch to another channel. However, according to regulations, after switching channels, a 60-second availability check period is required before starting the service.
