Grandstream GWN7605LR Outdoor Wireless Access Point — 802.11ac 1.27 Gbps

Discover the Grandstream GWN7605LR, an outdoor-ready wireless access point designed to extend high-speed Wi-Fi across expansive outdoor spaces and challenging indoor environments. Built to withstand harsh weather and the realities of outdoor deployments, this device brings enterprise-grade connectivity to campuses, stadiums, retail plazas, industrial sites, and large office campuses. The GWN7605LR combines a robust weatherproof enclosure with a sophisticated antenna design to deliver reliable, consistent coverage, even where traditional indoor APs struggle. As part of Grandstream's GWN series, it leverages IEEE 802.11ac (Wi‑Fi 5) technology to provide dual-band performance and a theoretical aggregate throughput up to 1.27 Gbps, enabling smooth streaming, quick-file transfers, real-time collaboration, and the responsive performance essential to modern networks. With dual-band 2x2:2 MU-MIMO, it serves multiple devices simultaneously, reducing contention and improving user experience for teams and visitors alike.

• Designed for high-density environments, the GWN7605LR supports dual-band operation with 2x2:2 MU-MIMO, delivering faster connections to more clients at the edge of the network. This means more devices—laptops, smartphones, tablets, cameras, point-of-sale terminals—can connect with fewer drops and less waiting, even during peak times. The result is improved throughput for critical applications, better video conferencing quality, and a smoother guest Wi‑Fi experience across campuses and outdoor venues.
• Built for the outdoors, the GWN7605LR features a weatherproof enclosure that protects against rain, dust, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring stable operation year-round. Whether mounted on a building façade, a street pole, or a perimeter fence, this AP maintains performance in sun, snow, and varying humidity. The rugged design minimizes maintenance needs and reduces total cost of ownership while delivering consistent coverage in parking lots, campuses, stadiums, and external retail spaces.
• Enhanced coverage is at the core of the GWN7605LR’s antenna strategy. The innovative antenna design spreads signals intelligently to extend range without compromising signal quality. This translates to fewer dead zones, better penetration into outdoor courtyards, loading docks, and indoor edge areas, and the ability to cover larger outdoor footprints from a single access point. Stakeholders can achieve reliable connectivity across large campuses and venue campuses with fewer APs, simplifying deployment and management.
• With an aggregate data rate up to 1.27 Gbps, the GWN7605LR supports bandwidth-hungry workloads—from HD video streaming and real-time collaboration to cloud-based apps and IoT devices—without compromising user experience. Administrators gain headroom to scale as device counts grow and new applications are introduced. The high throughput pairs with smart channel management to minimize interference, making this outdoor AP an excellent backbone for enterprise networks that demand consistent, predictable performance.
• Flexible deployment options and scalable management make the GWN7605LR a future-ready choice for network architects. It is designed to be deployed as a standalone outdoor AP or integrated into broader Grandstream deployments managed via cloud-based or on-prem controllers. Centralized monitoring, streamlined firmware updates, and per-AP analytics help IT teams optimize performance, ensure security, and quickly adapt to changing user patterns across mixed indoor/outdoor environments.
