The LANCOM OAP-382 outdoor access point is the right choice for anybody taking high-speed 802.11n wireless LAN to outdoor areas. Its two radio modules make this
access point suitable for a wide range of applications: For example, it can operate as a relay station in a link to a backbone while simultaneously providing Internet access
for WLAN clients. With its water-jet resistant IP-66 housing, integrated heating and cooling, and the sturdy fittings for wall and pole-mounting, the device can be operated
wherever the highest standards for stability and robustness apply—be it in the mountains or from rooftop to rooftop in the city. The LANCOM OAP-382 can be easily and
economically mounted up to 50 m from the nearest power supply thanks to Power over Ethernet. In case you have longer distances, you are recommended to use the
LANCOM fiber kit and the LANCOM OAP-380 PSU.
More flexibility.
The LANCOM OAP-382 can be networked via Ethernet or fiber optics. The externally accessible SFP slot provides a variety of options for implementing the fiber-optic
connection. The device also offers versatility in the choice of power supply: Depending on the local situation, the LANCOM 382-OAP can be powered either by the supplied
Gigabit High Power PoE injector or via an optionally available 48V cable.
More security.
LANCOM ensures the highest security standards as it supports a comprehensive range of encryption and authentication mechanisms, including 802.11i, 802.1x, and WPA2.
With the aid of Multi-SSID and protocol filters, up to 8 different user groups can each be assigned with different levels of security. VLAN technology, matured quality-of-service
functions and bandwidth limitation enable the reliable transmission of video and multimedia data.
More management.
A management system is vital outdoors where conditions are difficult, for example when it is hard to see the LEDs on an access point mounted on a tall mast. The free
LCMS LANCOM Management System allows the monitoring of all device functions and provides an overview of the entire network. For example, it is possible to check
whether the access points are transmitting and, if so, on which channels, how much data each one is sending, which clients are logged in and where, what encryption
method is active, and a whole lot more. The LANCOM Management System also helps you to optimize performance over wireless bridges. Additionally, the LANCOM
OAP-382 supports . Using the AAA protocol ("authentication, authorization, accounting") it is possible to track all activities relating to the configuration of the
access point.
More reliability for the future.
LANCOM products are fundamentally designed for a product life spanning several years. They are equipped with hardware dimensioned for the future. Even reaching back
to older product generations, updates to the LANCOM Operating System—LCOS—are available several times a year, free of charge and offering major features.
