ALTAI A8n Super WiFi Base Station Owner's Manual

Altai A8n (ac) Super WiFi Base Station

The world’s leading 802.11n WiFi outdoor access point optimized for maximum coverage and highest throughput from a minimum number of installation sites. It is the A8n model with the 5 GHz radio upgraded to 802.11a/n/ac standards.

The A8n (ac) is a multi-radio base station utilizing 8×8 MIMO smart antenna technologies and a patented signal processing algorithm to provide the industry’s best coverage per base station, especially in non-line-of sight (NLOS) environments. The multiple antennas of the A8n (ac) can be configured to provide coverage that is optimized for area, pattern and elevation. The multi-beam antennas of the A8n (ac) is designed to provide up to 3 times the range and 10 times the per site coverage as standard access point. Accordingly, up to 90% fewer installation sites for the same coverage area.

Super Long Range High Throughput Coverage

Altai A8n for Wireless Broadband

The Altai A8n (ac) can serve as last mile infrastructure for a wide range of wireless broadband access applications. It provides low deployment cost and fast provisioning of Wi-Fi systems with the greatest coverage and bandwidth per installed base station.

Altai A8n (ac) for Super 3G/4G Offload

The A8n (ac) Super WiFi Base Station can be deployed in conjunction with existing 3G networks to provide low cost high bandwidth mobile data offloading solution. The A8n can be co-located with existing 3G cell sites allowing immediate Wi-Fi provisioning at much lower acquisition and operating costs.

Co-locate A8n (ac) with existing 3G/LTE cell site to offload traffic for an almost identical cell area.

As an integral part of our Super WiFi network infrastructure, key

benefits of the Altai A8n (ac) include:

• Extended coverage in a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) environment which matches the foot print of most 3G/LTE deployments in dense urban environments
• High 11ac throughout capacity up to 1,167 Mbps data rate
• 4-sector x dual slant advanced Smart Antenna Technology provides flexible 70 to 360-degree and large vertical beam width coverage with minimal holes in dense urban environments
• Multi-radio 8×8:2 MIMO platform maximizing both uplink/downlink performance and access redundancy
• 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual band concurrent access
• Backhaul redundancy and access link safe mode
• Adaptive interference control mitigates the influence from surrounding interfering sources
• Standard 802.11b/g/n access and 802.11a/n/ac access/ backhaul
• Giga Ethernet or integrated 802.11a/n/ac wireless backhaul
• Remote configuration through the Altai Wireless Management System (AWMS) or AltaiCare network management solution
