Access Point LANCOM IAP-822 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Wi-Fi Standard

The LANCOM IAP-822 is a rugged industrial dual-band access point engineered for demanding environments. It supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation with combined wireless throughput up to 1000 Mbit/s, provides robust security features including 802.1X/RADIUS and AES, and is powered via Power over Ethernet. The full-metal housing and extended operating temperature range make it suitable for use in warehouses, covered outdoor areas, mobile machinery and other harsh conditions.

Advantages

The device features two separate radio modules—one for IEEE 802.11ac in the 5 GHz band and one for IEEE 802.11n in the 2.4 GHz band—enabling simultaneous support for legacy and modern clients with combined data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. A robust full-metal housing increases durability against dust and mechanical stress while an extended temperature range from -20 °C to +50 °C ensures reliable operation in extreme conditions. LANCOM Active Radio Control (Adaptive Noise Immunity, RF Optimization, Client Steering) helps optimize radio performance dynamically. Integrated security functions such as IEEE 802.1X, AES and various EAP methods provide network separation and secure authentication. The access point supports zero-touch deployment for automated configuration via a WLAN controller or LANCOM Management Cloud, and it can be combined with the LANCOM Public Spot option for secure guest hotspots.

Suitable for

• Industrial sites and production halls
• Warehouses and logistics areas
• Covered outdoor event areas and exhibition centers
• Mobile machinery and vehicles
• High-density environments where sector or external antennas are used

How to use

Install the IAP-822 at the required location and connect it to the network via an Ethernet cable that provides PoE power. For centralized configuration, provision the device through a LANCOM WLAN controller or the LANCOM Management Cloud to enable zero-touch deployment—after network authentication the access point receives its configuration automatically. Attach suitable external or sector antennas where needed to shape coverage; mounting under suspended ceilings is possible for discreet indoor installation. Verify security settings (802.1X, RADIUS, guest separation) according to your network policy before putting the access point into full operation.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density or wide-area deployments, use external sector or omnidirectional antennas to focus coverage and reduce interference. Combine the access point with LANCOM Active Radio Control features and centralized management to maintain stable radio performance and streamline large-scale rollouts.
