The new LANCOM LW-700 access point combines advanced Wi-Fi 7 technology with an attractive price-performance ratio, specially developed for small to medium-sized business environments.
LANCOM Systems is expanding its portfolio with the LW-700, a compact and economical Wi-Fi 7 access point that offers the perfect entry point into the world of the latest wireless standard. This new model specifically targets organizations with moderate Wi-Fi requirements, such as hotels, offices, and medical practices.
Easy integration into existing infrastructure
The LANCOM LW-700 immediately stands out with its discreet, modern design featuring integrated antennas. The device blends seamlessly into various environments without disrupting aesthetics. For IT resellers, it’s worth noting that the mounting plate is compatible with the mounting holes of previous models LW-600 and LW-500, making upgrades significantly easier.
Management of the LW-700 can be done in several ways: via the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC), the intuitive WEBconfig web interface, or traditionally through a WLAN controller. This flexibility makes the product suitable for diverse IT infrastructures and management preferences.
Wi-Fi 7 performance at a competitive price
With dual-radio Wi-Fi for simultaneous operation in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the LW-700 achieves an aggregated maximum data rate of 3.6 Gbps. The 2×2 MU-MIMO technology enables simultaneous communication with multiple clients in both downlink and uplink.
The Wi-Fi 7 standard brings several improvements:
• Multi-Link Operation (MLO) automatically uses the optimal frequency band or multiple bands in parallel for maximum bandwidth and minimal latency.
• Multi-RU (Resource Units) allows for more flexible and efficient use of the radio spectrum, especially in environments with many simultaneously active devices.
• Enhanced 4096-QAM modulation increases data rates and ensures more efficient use of channel capacity.
Sustainability at the core with Active Power Control
A notable feature of the LW-700 is LANCOM’s Active Power Control functionality. This intelligent, cloud-based optimization solution dynamically adjusts the available Wi-Fi capacity and reduces power consumption without compromising operational reliability.
In “Sustainability Mode,” the functions of access points are minimized during idle periods, resulting in lower power consumption. A centralized energy monitoring system provides full transparency on energy usage – an important USP in times of rising energy costs and increasing sustainability demands.
Technical specifications for professionals
The LW-700 features a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port and is powered via Power over Ethernet in accordance with IEEE 802.3at. The device supports the WPA3 security standard and is suitable for use with medical electrical equipment (EN 60601-1), expanding its application possibilities in the healthcare sector.
LANCOM guarantees future-proof support with uncompromising standards for warranty, support, and software lifecycle management – a key argument for resellers building long-term relationships with customers.
Market position and opportunities for resellers
The LANCOM LW-700 positions itself as the ideal gateway to Wi-Fi 7 for the SMB segment. By combining advanced features, ease of use, and a competitive price-performance ratio, this product offers resellers excellent opportunities to upgrade customers to the latest wireless standard.
Its compact design, based on decades of market experience and valuable user feedback, makes the LW-700 suitable for a wide range of deployments – from small office environments to more specialized applications in healthcare.
