Description
MX821-1F is a Zone 1 explosion-proof WiFi 6 (802.11ax) industrial access point certified to GB/T 3836 Exd IIB T6 Gb / Ex tD A21 IP68 T80℃ for use in gas and dust explosive atmospheres. Delivering 1773.5Mbps dual-band concurrent throughput (573.5Mbps @ 2.4GHz + 1200Mbps @ 5GHz) with 2×2 MU-MIMO, it outperforms legacy WiFi 5 ATEX solutions by up to 3× in bandwidth efficiency and device density.
Designed for oil & gas refineries, chemical plants, underground mining, pharmaceutical facilities, and smart factories, the MX821-1F supports AP / Client / WDS AP / WDS Client modes with 802.11k/v/r fast roaming and wireless positioning for personnel tracking, AGV navigation, and IoT sensor networks. Its SUS304 stainless steel enclosure and IP68 sealing withstand corrosive chemicals, high-pressure washdown, and immersion in harsh industrial environments.
With 2.5Gbps SFP fiber uplink, PoE++ (802.3bt) power, and centralized AC management, the MX821-1F provides enterprise-grade wireless infrastructure for mission-critical hazardous area deployments.
