Why Choose MOXA?

Optimized Network Performance

The Moxa AWK 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 solutions deliver speeds of up to 1,201 Mbps and support 160 MHz channels, which makes them ideal for high-demand IIoT applications. Utilizing OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) technology, these solutions maximize spectrum efficiency to enable high-speed, low-latency operations even in densely populated networks.

Reliable Wireless Communication

The AWK Series offers advanced features such as Turbo Roaming for seamless, millisecond-level handovers. It facilitates uninterrupted connectivity in dynamic environments. Designed to endure extreme temperatures, these devices deliver dependable performance in challenging industrial conditions. Additionally, AeroMesh support in AWK 802.11ac devices ensures resilient self-healing mesh networks for optimal radio coverage.

Enhanced Network Security

Complying with the IEC 62443-4-2 industrial cybersecurity standard, the Moxa AWK Series includes robust security measures like WPA3 encryption and Network Address Translation (NAT) to meet stringent compliance requirements while simplifying outbound network connections.

Effortless Machine Integration

The Moxa AWK Series’ compact form factor makes installation in machine cabinets straightforward. These Wi-Fi 6 solutions are the smallest standalone industrial Wi-Fi 6 APs/Clients, and the AWK-1165A/C Series includes 5 embedded switch ports to simplify integration while minimizing space requirements.

Streamlined Network Management

With MXview One Wireless, users gain real-time visibility into wireless connections and link changes for effective monitoring and faster troubleshooting. For networks using AWK 802.11ac devices, AeroMesh technology further simplifies Wi-Fi setup, which establishes strong and resilient connectivity.

Applications

Industrial Applications Where Wi-Fi Shines
Seamless Material Handling

High-speed, low-latency wireless networks enable AGVs and AMRs to maintain smooth operations and bring forth efficient routing and real-time decision-making.

Reliable Medical X-ray Data Transmission

Certified for medical-grade EMC compliance, the AWK Series ensures uninterrupted transmission of high-resolution X-ray images for accurate, real-time diagnostics.

Durable Wireless in Rugged Environments

In mining, remote-controlled trucks rely on continuous, stable wireless connections to navigate challenging terrains. AeroMesh support ensures consistent connectivity for reliable operation.

Fast Vehicle Data Offloading in Depots

For public transit, high-resolution video offloading is critical for passenger and driver safety. The AWK Series supports reliable wireless connections to transfer large video files efficiently.

Enhancing Urban Transit with Reliable Charging

As eBuses continue to grow in popularity, consistent charging connectivity is crucial. Moxa’s AWK Series supports ISO 15118-compliant wireless, ensuring dependable charging and smooth eBus operations.
