The power package for high-performance networks

We would like to invite you to test the newest developments of the LANCOM Operating System (LCOS): The LCOS 10.20 Release Candidate 2 now ready for a further practical test!

Apart from a variety of new features and improvement, with LCOS 10.20 RC2 you extend your LANCOM access points, WLAN controllers, routers, and gateways with full-fledged highlight functionalities for maximum quality enhancements as well as excellent network control.

Feature Highlights

NEW: WPA3 – State-of-the-art Wi-Fi security

The latest generation of Wi-Fi encryption – WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – now offers you more security for your WLAN infrastructure. As the successor of WPA2, WPA3 offers important extensions and security features for small (“WPA3-Personal”) and large networks (“WPA3-Enterprise”). With LCOS 10.20, all LANCOM access points and WLAN routers support the new Wi-Fi security standard. Learn more in our Whitepaper

NEW: Auto Updater – always up-to-date

The Auto Updater keeps your installations up-to-date automatically: If desired, LANCOM devices can search for new software updates, and download and install them without any user interaction. You can choose whether to install only security updates, release updates, or all updates automatically. If automatic updates are not desired, the feature can still be used to check for new updates, which can then be installed with a single click.

Client Management – for best-ever Wi-Fi

Client Management steers Wi-Fi clients to the best available access point and frequency band. This feature improves the quality of wireless networks of all sizes—whether they operate stand-alone or orchestrated by the LANCOM Management Cloud. The popular Band Steering and Client Steering, which so far were separate features, have now been combined and even operate without a WLAN controller.

LEPS-U & LEPS-MAC

Keep control of who is in your Wi-Fi. With LEPS-U (LANCOM Enhanced Passphrase Security – User), individual clients or entire groups each receive a unique Wi-Fi password for an SSID. Using LEPS-MAC, you additionally authenticate the clients by their MAC address—ideal for secure corporate networks.

 

WAN Policy-Based NAT

WAN Policy-Based NAT allows an easy assignment of static WAN IPv4 addresses to desired services. Due to a NAT action in the firewall rules internal addresses are masked behind a WAN address from the Internet access provider. Ideal for scenarios e.g. for the operation of mail servers and web servers with different WAN addresses.
