All LANCOM routers and LANCOM Wireless Access Points use the same operating system: LCOS. The operating system developed by LANCOM Systems itself is not attackable from the outside, and thus offers high security. The consistent use of LCOS ensures a comfortable and constant operation of all LANCOM products. The extensive feature set is available throughout all LANCOM products (provided respective support by hardware), and continuously receives further enhancements by free, regular software updates.
