Wireless Access Point Alcatel-Lucent OAW-AP1362-RW

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Outdoor AP1360 series access point (model OAW-AP1362-RW) is a rugged, high-performance Wi‑Fi device that supports 802.11ax (Wi‑Fi 6) dual‑band operation on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Designed for outdoor enterprise and IoT deployments, the AP1362-RW integrates four radios — dual radios for client service on 2.4/5 GHz, a full‑band scanning radio, and an integrated Bluetooth/Zigbee radio — and provides Multigig Ethernet uplink and optional SFP backhaul. The unit is IP67 rated for harsh outdoor environments and supports aggregate data rates up to approximately 3 Gbps (2.4 Gbps in 5 GHz and 574 Mbps in 2.4 GHz). Security features include support for WPA2 and WPA3-Enterprise.

Advantages

The AP1362-RW combines high capacity Wi‑Fi 6 features such as OFDMA, MU‑MIMO and 1024‑QAM with a rugged IP67 enclosure, enabling reliable outdoor coverage and improved client density handling. Built‑in scanning and an additional radio for Bluetooth/Zigbee extend security monitoring and location/automation capabilities. Flexible connectivity options — Multigig Ethernet, an extra downlink Ethernet port and SFP backhaul — support varied deployment scenarios and wired IoT endpoints.

How to use

Install the AP1362-RW at the chosen outdoor location following site planning guidelines for coverage and pole or wall mounting. Connect power and network using the Multigig Ethernet uplink or SFP backhaul as required. Configure SSIDs, encryption (WPA2/WPA3‑Enterprise) and RF settings through the OmniAccess management platform or compatible controller. Use the integrated scan radio and Bluetooth/Zigbee for security monitoring and location services; connect wired IoT endpoints to the additional downlink Ethernet port when needed.

Recommendations

Place the AP clear of large metal obstructions and at sufficient height for line‑of‑sight where possible; enable OFDMA and MU‑MIMO in high‑density areas, and plan for Multigig Ethernet or SFP backhaul to leverage the device’s full throughput. For outdoor longevity, verify IP67 seals after installation and follow local grounding and surge protection practices.
