Features:
- One 2x2 MIMO radio supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n operation in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
- An integrated two-port M12 switch links wired devices and accepts a Power over Ethernet supply path.
- IP65 construction, redundant 24 V DC inputs, and C-PLUG or KEY-PLUG storage suit managed industrial wireless installations.
Siemens 6GK5778-1GY00-0AA0 is the one-radio member of the SCALANCE W778-1 M12 industrial wireless platform.
Four SSIDs can separate wireless network roles, while access point and client modes use the same installed radio hardware.
The two external antenna sockets allow the radio path to be matched to approved antennas and the national frequency authorization for the installation country.
The Siemens 6GK5778-1GY00-0AA0 SCALANCE W778-1 M12 IWLAN Access Point may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Radio and Antenna Paths
- Radio layout: One permanently installed radio uses 2x2 MIMO and two spatial streams.
- Antenna pair: Two N-Connect sockets accept the external antenna connections.
- Band choice: Approved channels are selected within the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz country-specific ranges.
- Network separation: The access point can maintain as many as four SSIDs.
M12 Wired Connections
- Data ports: Two four-pole D-coded M12 sockets carry 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet.
- Local supply: The A-coded M12 power connection accepts the redundant 24 V DC feed.
- PoE supply: A 48 V Power-over-Ethernet source can power the device through the network side.
- Power demand: Typical loss is 6 W with either documented supply path.
Managed Access and Encryption
- Wireless protection: WPA/WPA2 and IEEE 802.11i use TKIP or AES encryption.
- Port authentication: IEEE 802.1x and RADIUS support authenticated network access.
- Administration: HTTPS, SSH, SNMPv3, CLI, and web management provide secured configuration paths.
- Traffic filtering: MAC-based and IP-based access-control lists restrict permitted communication.
Housing and Hazardous-Area Boundary
- Normal mounting: The enclosure supports wall installation or a 35 mm DIN rail.
- Ingress rating: The assembled access point provides IP65 protection.
- Ambient range: Operation is specified from -20 to +60 deg C without condensation.
- Zone 2 condition: Hazardous-area use requires installation inside an enclosure rated at least IP54 under the stated standard.
