Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What accessories need to be purchased separately for YNW 5ax?
The following need to be sourced separately: 1) External antenna (parabolic, sector, or omni), 2) Jumper cables (N-Type male-to-male, length depends on antenna position), 3) External lightning arrestor (recommended N-Type). These are not included in the package.
Q: Can YNW 5ax be co-located with other YNW devices on the same pole?
Yes. The all-metal enclosure effectively reduces RF coupling interference. Recommendations: 1) Use different channels for adjacent devices; 2) Maintain at least 30 cm vertical spacing; 3) Ensure sufficient angular separation between external antennas. Infinity Controller handles centralized management and channel planning.
Q: What is the max PtP range with a high-gain antenna?
With a 30 dBi parabolic dish antenna and optimal Fresnel zone clearance, the YNW 5ax can achieve PtP links exceeding 30 km. Actual range depends on antenna gain, cable loss, TX power, RX sensitivity, and environmental factors.
Q: Does the device support VLAN and Q-in-Q?
Yes. Supports 802.1q VLAN with Q-in-Q double-tagging for multi-tenant or service isolation deployments.
Q: Does YNW 5ax support OEM/white-label customization?
Yes. Complete OEM customization including brand logo and product label, chassis color, web UI skinning, firmware pre-configuration, and branded packaging. All Zukaka branding can be removed for a pure white-label experience.
Q: What is the MOQ for OEM YNW 5ax?
Basic brand customization (logo + packaging): MOQ 100 units. Deep firmware customization: MOQ 200 units. Full ODM (hardware/PCB revisions): MOQ 1,000+ units. Chassis color customization: MOQ 500+ units. Volume pricing scales with quantity.
