Why Choose Moxa?

Superior Network Performance

Our AWK 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 solutions offer speeds of up to 1.775 Gbps and 80 MHz channels to empower demanding IIoT applications.

Wi-Fi 6 significantly improves wireless performance with MU-MIMO (multi-user multiple input, multiple output) and OFDMA (orthogonal frequency-division multiple access). MU-MIMO increases data throughput for multiple users simultaneously, supporting up to eight spatial streams for both uploads and downloads. Meanwhile, OFDMA maximises spectrum efficiency for high-speed, low-latency communication in congested areas. This allows, for example, more AMRs to operate via a single warehouse access point without sacrificing signal quality or bandwidth. With these performance-boosting technologies, industrial Wi-Fi 6 provides a robust foundation for the real-time data-intensive applications of today’s industrial automation environment.

More Reliable Wireless Communication
Moxa’s AWK Series features Turbo Roaming, capable of millisecond-level handovers for seamless wireless connectivity in highly dynamic networking environments. The AWK’s robust design is built to withstand electrical interference and extreme temperatures from -40 to 75°C, providing optimal reliability in the most demanding environments.
Robust Network Security Protection
Our security-hardened AWK Wi-Fi 6 Series integrates a range of security features that reference IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2* to protect critical OT systems from cyberthreats and ensure reliable operations. Support for the latest WPA3 data encryption and network address translation (NAT) helps you meet the compliance requirements of secure network design and simplify outbound connections.
Seamless Machine Integration
The compact design of Moxa’s AWK Series allows for easy installation into machines. Our entry-level Wi-Fi 6 Series, the AWK-1160 Series, is among the smallest standalone industrial Wi-Fi 6 AP/Clients on the market, designed to fit in confined machine cabinets. Its five-port models, the AWK-1165A and AWK-1165C Series, provide 5 embedded switch ports to simplify machine integration and reduce installation footprint.
Effortless Network Management

Moxa’s AeroMesh technology enables advanced AWK Wi-Fi 6 Series* to create resilient, intelligent Wi-Fi networks made up of self-forming and self-healing mesh connections. The MXview One Wireless add-on boosts management efficiency by visualizing dynamic wireless connections and link changes in real-time for more efficient monitoring and troubleshooting.

When deploying global projects, regional RF compliance is critical. The AWK Series universal (UN) models feature configurable country or region code to make sure your wireless networks comply with regional requirements.
