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 maximizes 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.

Effortless and Resilient Industrial Wi-Fi With AeroMesh
As digitalization accelerates, industrial wireless networks face rising demands for more reliability and mobility. Complementing the advanced AWK Series hardware, Moxa’s AeroMesh** technology extends Wi-Fi coverage and enhances communication reliability, especially in demanding industrial applications where seamless connectivity is critical. By dynamically forming wireless paths that can self-heal, AeroMesh eliminates costly Ethernet cabling and simplifies deployment by drastically reducing configuration time.
AeroMesh delivers robust, scalable, and easy-to-manage wireless for any industrial application, from factory floors, to large-scale oil and gas sites, to remote mining operations.
Self-forming, Low-latency Industrial Mesh Networks
Moxa's AeroMesh self-forming technology intelligently finds and establishes the best wireless path for the mesh network in hard-to-wire areas, reducing cabling cost and saving time and effort on Wi-Fi backhaul deployments.
For critical applications like remote monitoring, robotic control, and automated inspections, AeroMesh's five-hop capability enables long-distance transmissions at reduced installation costs. The ultra-low 2 to 3 ms*** per-hop latency further enhances performance for intensive applications such as real-time video streaming.
Multi-MPR Redundancy for Always-on Industrial Connectivity
For industrial applications where uptime is critical, network component redundancy is essential. By providing backup forwarding nodes, AeroMesh's multi-MPRs redundancy** minimizes the risk of network disruptions, ensuring that critical data can still be transmitted even if one mesh portal (MPR) fails.
AeroMesh in Practical Use
Seamless Roaming Infrastructure for Factory Inspections
Industrial Wi-Fi provides the communication backbone while AI acts as the brains, enabling robotic dogs to perform tasks such as inspecting hazardous environments. In large-scale smart factories, which often span thousands of square meters, it’s costly and time-consuming to extend network coverage to meet the requirements of modern applications. Moxa’s AWK Series industrial Wi-Fi solutions with AeroMesh technology help build reliable, adaptive Wi-Fi networks while reducing installation and management costs.
** The construction of an AeroMesh backhaul and multi-MPRS redundancy is only supported by the advanced
AWK-3262A and AWK-4262A Series running
firmware version 2.0 (available in Q3, 2025).
*** The listed 2-3
ms per-hop latency is based on test results using test infrastructure under optimal conditions. Actual latency
is subject to environmental conditions.
