Features:
- Two independently configurable WLAN radios support parallel 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network planning.
- Six integrated antennas and 3 x 3 MIMO deliver up to 450 Mbit/s per radio interface.
- Gigabit Ethernet, PoE, redundant 24 V DC, C-PLUG, and IP65 protection suit exposed industrial cells.
The Siemens 6GK5786-2HC00-0AA0 places two radio interfaces in one SCALANCE W786-2IA enclosure so separate wireless cells or frequency bands can be engineered without adding a second access point.
Each radio uses three internal antennas for 3 x 3 MIMO, while VLAN, WPA/WPA2, IEEE 802.11i, and multiple SSIDs organize and protect plant communication.
The RJ45 uplink, PoE input, redundant 24 V DC terminals, C-PLUG slot, and wide ambient range support maintainable installations near machinery or outdoor process areas.
The Siemens 6GK5786-2HC00-0AA0 SCALANCE W786-2IA RJ45 IWLAN Access Point may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Two-Radio Wireless Architecture
- Radio count: Two independently configurable radio interfaces share one access-point enclosure.
- Band planning: Each interface can be assigned within the supported 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ranges.
- MIMO paths: Three internal antennas serve each radio for 3 x 3 operation.
- Cell separation: Multiple SSIDs and VLAN functions separate device groups and traffic policies.
Uplink and Supply Planning
- Ethernet uplink: One RJ45 interface supports 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit/s communication.
- PoE supply: Data and power can share the Ethernet connection where the network design permits.
- DC supply: Redundant 24 V DC terminals provide an alternative or resilient power path.
- Configuration transfer: A C-PLUG can retain configuration data for maintenance replacement.
Network Segmentation and Authentication
- Authentication: WPA, WPA2, and IEEE 802.11i mechanisms protect wireless access.
- Traffic separation: VLAN assignment keeps selected wireless clients in defined network segments.
- Service sets: Up to 16 SSIDs support multiple logical wireless networks.
- Industrial timing: iPCF functions support deterministic communication planning for mobile automation devices.
Industrial Installation Conditions
- Protection: The IP65 enclosure is designed for dusty or wet industrial surroundings.
- Temperature range: Operation is specified from -40 to +60 °C.
- Antenna arrangement: Internal antennas avoid separate antenna-cable routing at the mounting location.
- Commissioning check: Channel allocation, power source, grounding, and enclosure clearances must be verified before service.
