Key Features
17 dBi 90° Sector Antenna
90° horizontal beamwidth enables a single unit to cover an entire sector. When mounted on a tower, 3 units achieve 270° coverage and 4 units provide full 360° omni-directional coverage. Each base station can support a large number of subscriber terminals.
802.11ax OFDMA for Multi-User Efficiency
OFDMA divides channels into smaller resource units (RUs), allowing simultaneous data transmission to multiple clients in the same time slot. This significantly improves capacity and reduces latency in PtMP environments compared to 802.11ac.
2.5G Uplink Port
2.5 Gbps uplink eliminates backhaul bottlenecks, ensuring that the 1500+ Mbps aggregate wireless throughput can be fully delivered to the wired network.
PoE OUT Peripheral Power Supply
Second Ethernet port supports 802.3af/at PoE output for powering external devices such as cameras or additional radios. A single cable run handles both data and power for tower-top installations.
Metal Shielded Enclosure
All-metal enclosure doubles as a heat sink with passive cooling across -40°C to +65°C. Reduces RF coupling interference in multi-device co-location deployments.
IP67 Fully Sealed Protection
Corrosion-resistant metal housing rated IP67 for operation in rain, high humidity, salt spray, and dusty environments. Built-in surge protection meets IEC 61000-4-5 standards.
2.4 GHz Independent Management Radio
Built-in 2.4 GHz management radio for on-site configuration from within 20 meters using a mobile device. No additional cabling required for tower-mounted deployments.
Infinity Controller Cloud Management
Supports Zukaka Infinity Controller platform for bulk device discovery, auto-configuration, topology visualization, and remote firmware upgrades.
