AWK-1161C Series

Entry-level 1-port industrial Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless clients

Features and Benefits

  • IEEE 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 client
  • Selectable dual-band Wi-Fi with data rates up to 1,201 Mbps
  • AP-agnostic millisecond-level Client-based Turbo Roaming The Turbo Roaming recovery time indicated herein is an average of test results documented, in optimized conditions, across APs configured with interference-free 20-MHz RF channels, WPA2-PSK security, and default Turbo Roaming parameters. The clients are configured with 3-channel roaming at 100 Kbps traffic load. Other conditions may also impact roaming performance. For more information about Turbo Roaming parameter settings, refer to the product manual.
  • Compact size for easy installation
  • Easy network setup with Network Address Translation (NAT)
  • Built-in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band pass filter for more reliable wireless connections
  • Integrated antenna isolation to protect against external electrical interference

Introduction

The AWK-1161C Series is the smallest range of industrial wireless clients on the market, engineered to provide a dedicated and seamless connection for a single moving device. They are ideal for ensuring uninterrupted data transmission to AGVs, mobile inspection equipment, and robotic arms with limited onboard space. Leveraging Wi-Fi 6 OFDMA and spatial reuse technologies, these clients deliver robust and efficient communication, even in high-density environments.

At the heart of the AWK-1161C Series’ performance is the client-based Turbo Roaming technology, which achieves millisecond-level handovers between access points. This eliminates packet loss during transitions, maintaining continuous production, and enhancing operational efficiency. For maximum system flexibility, its AP-agnostic design ensures seamless interoperability with any brand of Wi-Fi access point.

Tailored Industrial Wireless Technology

  • AP-agnostic seamless roaming with client-based Turbo Roaming The Turbo Roaming recovery time indicated herein is an average of test results documented, in optimized conditions, across APs configured with interference-free 20-MHz RF channels, WPA2-PSK security, and default Turbo Roaming parameters. The clients are configured with 3-channel roaming at 100 Kbps traffic load. Other conditions may also impact roaming performance. For more information about Turbo Roaming parameter settings, refer to the product manual. for sub-150 ms roaming recovery times between APs
