Altai’s Super WiFi A8n (ac) base station is an advanced 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WiFi solution. With its 8×8 MIMO and Altai’s smart antenna technology, it is designed for broadest coverage range and best non-line–of-sight (NLOS) performance.
Key Features:
- A8n model with the 5 GHz radio upgraded to 802.11a/n/ac standards.
- Operating concurrently in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band.
- 8 antenna ports for 4 dual-slant sector antennas, providing flexible 90° to 360° coverage.
- 8×8 MIMO combined with Altai’s proprietary smart antenna technology for the best available uniform large-area coverage.
- The multiple antennas of A8n series can be configured to provide coverage that is optimised for area, pattern and elevation.
- Provides up to 3 times the range and 10 times the area of coverage as compared to standard access points.
- 50 cm co-location with 3G/4G cell sites on a single-pole.
- Up to 300 Mbps (access) plus 867 Mbps (access/backhaul for ac model) /300 Mbps (access/backhaul for n model) capacity per base station.
- Extended reach, with up to a 30 km backhauling range.
- Fast and simple installation using a single-pole mount for radios and antennas.
- Altai’s AirFi technology for higher capacity and efficiency per WiFi channel.
