Yamaha aims at the Wi-Fi 6 access point "WLX413" of "Monster Class"

The number of simultaneous connection terminals of WLX413 is up to 500 units.5GHz band 200 units x 2, 2.The 4GHz band is 100 units, up to 500 units at the same time.Mr. Yamamoto emphasizes that the point is that these 500 units are "connected firmly".

"The number of customers who use wireless LANs is increasing. 500 simultaneous connections are a discerning point, and it is also expected by customers.There is a foundation for realization. By connecting many terminals with one access point, it can provide stable and comfortable communication for users, and easy management for administrators. "(Mr. Yamamoto).

As for Wi-Fi 6 technology that realizes multiple connections, one channel is divided into multiple terminals to increase the number of simultaneous communications and increase the speed of "OFDMA (Orthogonal Freequence Division MultiPle Access)", and in conventional technology.There are some correspondence to the climb of “MU-MIMO”, which only supported down.For example, many companies have increased web conferences due to the recent trend of new colon viruses, but OFDMA is said to be effective for small packets, and are particularly effective in audio packets at Web conferences.

In the conventional access point, there was a major issue in building high -density wireless LAN.The channel, radio wave output, and transmission rate of access points were adjusted to create "small cells", placed on the floor, so that the whole was covered.The multi -numbered arrangement is a technically difficult part, and there are issues such as the roaming of the terminal and the radio wave interference, so it was necessary to take care of it.

However, with WLX413, one can cover many units, so the administrator can build a comfortable wireless LAN environment without having to adjust the channels and radio waves of multiple access points, making it easier to troubleshoot.right.The concept of "more" leads to a reduction of the burden on the administrator.

In the development of WLX413, Yamaha has been testing and verifying whether or not a multi -number can be realized.It seems that these data will be released as white paper at a later date, so if you are interested, please check it out.

The cluster management function can manage up to 127 slave AP (WLX413, WLX212) with one master AP.The details of this management aspect will be described later.
