6.14
More network performance for existing installations
Get the most out of your Wi-Fi installations with LCOS LX 6.14 and benefit from an improved Wi-Fi user experience in existing environments: By using Radio Resource Management in accordance with IEEE 802.11k, detailed data is collected on neighbouring access points and roaming processes are optimized. Antenna connectors can now be switched on and off individually for the precise use of external Wi-Fi antennas. In addition, improved power management for Wi-Fi 6E access points now allows the 6 GHz frequency band to be used in PoE mode in accordance with IEEE 802.3at.
Seamless Roaming Experience with Radio Resource Management (IEEE 802.11k)
Improved Wi-Fi user experience through accelerated roaming processes: An environment scan is used to identify neighboring access points that are suitable for roaming and detailed information (SSID, radio channels used, etc.) is distributed to the Wi-Fi clients via 802.11k. On this basis, roaming processes from one access point to another are noticeably optimized.
- Antenna connectors can now be switched on and off individually when using external Wi-Fi antennas
- Improved power management for Wi-Fi 6E access points to utilize the 6 GHz frequency band even with PoE operation via IEEE 802.3at
- LANCOM UUID enables site survey tools such as Ekahau to combine BSSIDs for multi-radio access points

Software lifecycle management
With LANCOM Systems you have a manufacturer at your side who offers unparalleled investment protection. The lifecycle policies from LANCOM also provide full transparency and reliable planning with regard to the firmware updates and product support for your LANCOM infrastructure.
LANCOM release process
Our aim is the optimal preparation of our operating systems and other software, not only for its use in practice, but also to adapt it to the wishes of our customers. This is why we enter into active dialog with our customers even during the development phase as part of our release procedure.
Before any LCOS LX update, be sure to backup your current device configuration. Devices featuring the "Firmsafe" function have the option of an initial "test mode" firmware upload. The new firmware is activated permanently only if the device has been accessed with a log-in or for configuration purposes before the pre-set time period has expired. Otherwise, the device switches back to its former version.
