LANCOM OW-702
Whether in cold stores, storage areas, parking lots, or other open operating areas, the LANCOM OW-702 provides powerful Wi-Fi wherever a stable and fast connection is required under changing weather conditions. Equipped with state-of-the-art Wi-Fi 7 technology, this outdoor access point delivers exceptionally low latency and high data rates per device. With 2x2 dual-stream, this access point is particularly suitable for Wi-Fi scenarios with low to medium user density. The omnidirectional antennas included in the scope of delivery provide comprehensive Wi-Fi coverage. Optionally, suitable sector antennas can be used to target coverage to specific areas. The integrated tilt sensor, in combination with the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC), enables verification of correct device installation and detects changes in alignment caused by external influences. In case of reception issues, the mounting situation can also be analyzed remotely.

Faster data transfer
Wi-Fi 7 sets new standards in stability and efficiency for wireless networks. Thanks to Multi-Link Operation (MLO), the optimal available frequency band is always used, or multiple bands are utilized in parallel to maximize bandwidth utilization and minimize latency. Multi-RU (Resource Units) enables even more flexible and efficient use of the radio spectrum during OFDMA transmissions, particularly in environments with numerous simultaneously active client devices. The enhanced 4096-QAM modulation further increases data rates and ensures even more efficient use of channel capacity. The LANCOM OW-702 achieves an aggregated maximum data transfer rate of up to 3.6 Gbps across the supported frequency bands.
High reliability in all weather conditions
The LANCOM OW-702 has a rugged IP67 protective housing, making it completely dust- and waterproof. In addition, a temperature range of -30°C to +65°C guarantees reliable operation under extreme conditions.
Wi-Fi optimization with one click - with LANCOM Active Radio Control 2.0
Scan, analyze, and optimize – that’s all it takes to make your Wi-Fi more efficient, even at locations with data-intensive applications, high user densities, or interfering external networks. That’s exactly the task handled by the LANCOM Active Radio Control 2.0 (ARC 2.0) automation solution! Even under complex conditions, you benefit from holistic, self-learning optimization of your Wi-Fi installation with improved channel distribution, channel width usage, and transmit power. Additionally, ARC 2.0 can prioritize access points managed via the LANCOM Management Cloud according to their actual usage, providing capacity exactly where it is needed based on real usage patterns. This saves your IT administrators manual effort and ensures you get the most out of your Wi-Fi installation.
Carpooling in the radio field – OFDMA for more efficient data traffic
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) also aims to optimize the use of the radio field: The frequency range of a Wi-Fi channel is divided into several frequency blocks within a unit of time, creating sub-channels (sub-carriers) with a narrow channel width of up to 2 MHz. This prevents small data packets, which often originate from IoT devices, from taking up and blocking an entire channel with a width of 20, 40 or even 80 MHz. In addition, the OW-702 bundles several sub-channels and transports them together like a kind of carpool to enable the freest and smoothest possible radio traffic.
Flexible operation via LANCOM Management Cloud, web interface or WLC
Choose freely between operation via the LANCOM Management Cloud, stand-alone via WEBconfig or a WLAN controller! In cloud mode, the LANCOM OW-702 becomes part of a user-friendly, holistic and automated network management system. Even in stand-alone operation, the OW-702 offers fast configuration and comprehensive management and monitoring thanks to the intuitive, clear web interface of the new WEBconfig. As a third option, management can also be selected centrally via a WLAN controller.
Secure integration of external users
Using a cloud-managed hotspot via LANCOM Management Cloud, the LANCOM OW-702 is ideal for providing WLAN hotspots. The user benefits from secure and convenient Wi-Fi access, and the hotspot provider has the assurance that its own network remains separate from the guest network.
Wi-Fi coverage around buildings and central outdoor areas
In outdoor areas with low user density—such as courtyards, open company grounds, or around buildings—uniform wireless coverage in all directions is often required. The omnidirectional antenna included with the LANCOM OW-702 distributes the Wi-Fi signal evenly over a large area. This allows central outdoor areas around the installation point to be reliably covered without the need for special antenna alignment. Mobile devices, service vehicles, or industrial end devices thus benefit from a stable connection throughout the entire vicinity of the access point. The result is straightforward and comprehensive Wi-Fi coverage for typical outdoor areas with low device density.
Wi-Fi coverage in large outdoor areas
In large outdoor areas such as logistics sites, depots, or industrial facilities, the focus is often on providing targeted coverage for specific zones—such as loading zones, driveways, or storage areas. In such scenarios, the LANCOM OW-702 can be used with optionally available sector antennas to direct the Wi-Fi signal specifically in a defined direction. The directional radiation concentrates the available transmit power on the relevant area, enabling greater coverage along work and traffic zones. At the same time, radio radiation is reduced in less relevant areas. This creates a stable Wi-Fi infrastructure for mobile scanners, vehicles, machines, or industrial IoT devices—even in large and complex outdoor areas.

WLAN out of the box
“The sound planning and implementation of a professional Wi-Fi according to the needs of the companies contributes to providing a reliable and secure wireless IT network connection. If the number of devices with their data transfer requirements exceeds the capacity of the IT network, the performance suffers, the susceptibility to interference increases and work processes are slowed down or even interrupted. Data loss and economic damage such as loss of productivity and revenue are the consequences. Outdated IT networks with low radio frequencies can no longer meet the growing data transfer challenges and quickly turn into bottlenecks.” – techconsult survey from 2023
