LANCOM WLAN devices operate with the IEEE 802.11 standard. This is a collection of standards that build on the earlier IEEE standards for LANs. The best known of these is IEEE 802.3 for Ethernet. Among the various IEEE 802.11 standards, some specify wireless transmissions in different frequency bands and at different speeds.
By complying with these IEEE standards, LANCOM WLAN products operate with devices from other manufacturers reliably and without problems.
The WLAN module in the APs only operates in one frequency band at a time, i.e. either at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. It is impossible for a single WLAN module to operate at different frequencies simultaneously. However, APs with two WLAN modules (dual radio) can operate each module at a different frequency (depending on the hardware). As the standards are backwards compatible, different standards can be operated simultaneously on a single WLAN module, although this will result in lower data rates.
