WELINK-LR Stand Alone

Product Information

The WELINK-LR PMP Radio AP/CPE is a high-performance radio head designed for cost-effective and efficient wireless connectivity. It is engineered to provide multi-gigabit connections of up to 2.5Gbps at distances of nearly 1km with 99.99% availability. The compact and sleek design allows for inconspicuous installation in any environment.

Key Features:

60 GHz baseband modem + RF 2.5 Gbps Aggregate Capacity
Interfaces: x1 2.5Gbps (Nbase-T) Eth with PoE in, x1 2.5Gbps (Nbase-T) Eth with PoE out (optional use)
Antenna Gain: 18dBi Antenna Pattern
Power Consumption: x15W (Max)
Operating Environment: -30 to 65°C, IP65
Mechanical Dimensions: 11in x 3.7in x 1.5in, Weight: 2.5lbs

Product Usage Instructions

Standalone Configuration:
To operate the PMP Radio in standalone access point mode, you will need the WeLink MBU. Without the MBU, the standalone operation is not possible. However, you can still power the radio for testing, configuration, and firmware updates by using a 48v .5A (4,5+:7,8-) POE injector (not included) or operate it in CPE mode.

Planning:
Prior to installation, it is recommended to coordinate a network-wide frequency plan, considering factors such as topography, climate, interferences, and other challenges.

Colocation: 6 Channels at 2000MHz
Line of Sight

Installation

Tool List: Hose Clamp + Flathead Screwdriver

Other Requirements: Typical J-Arm installation or 50mm pole. Ensure that all mounting hardware is properly grounded per local building codes.

Note: The user manual includes a statement prohibiting the use of the product on aircraft or satellites.

Local Configuration – Ethernet:
Connect a Cat cable from your computer to the LAN port on the power over ethernet injector.
