4.6.9.1 Description
Figure 4-36 SCALANCE W786 access point
The SCALANCE W786 devices are intended for applications with high mechanical loads, for
example outdoors or when the installation location is open to the public. The functions
correspond to the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standards.
The access points are designed for ruggedness. No parts that can be damaged are led out
of the devices. The SCALANCE W786 devices have a housing that is resistant to impact and
shock and tensile compression.
The SCALANCE W786-1 RJ-45 device type is equipped with a wireless card, SCALANCE
W786-2 RJ-45 with two wireless cards. The access point SCALANCE W786-2 RJ-45 also
exists with six internal antennas.
The SCALANCE W786-2 SFP access point is very variable due to the use of pluggable
transceivers and can be used for various transmission media. Two wireless cards are
integrated in the device.
