AWK-6232 Series
Industrial IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n IP68 dual-RF wireless AP/bridge/client
Moxa’s AWK-6232 3-in-1 outdoor wireless AP/bridge/client meets 
the growing need for faster data transmission speeds and wider 
coverage by supporting IEEE 802.11n technology with a net data rate 
of up to 300 Mbps. The AWK-6232 avoids interruptions in WLAN 
transmissions with its dual 2.4/5 GHz RF modules, which allow two 
independent wireless connections over different frequencies. The 
AWK-6232 is compliant with the essential sections of EN 50155, 
covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD and 
vibration. In addition, the AWK-6232 is housed in an IP68 metal casing 
with M12 connectors for total protection against dust, water, vibration, 
and other environmental effects. 
Improved Higher Data Rate and Bandwidth
•  High-speed wireless connectivity with up to 300 Mbps data rate
•  MIMO technology to improve the capacity of multiple data stream 
transmits and receives
•  Increased channel width with channel bonding technology
Industrial and Outdoor Rated Features for Critical 
Environments
•  IP68-rated metal housing and -40 to 75°C wide operating 
temperature
•  Anti-vibration M12 design and waterproof/dust-tight RJ45 
connectors
•  Wall, DIN-Rail, and pole mounting options for versatile outdoor 
installation
