Key Features
Integrated 15dBi Dual-Pol Antenna
15dBi panel antenna with 35° × 35° beamwidth and dual-linear polarization (24dB cross-pol isolation). No external antenna cables needed, simplifying installation.
DFS-Free 6GHz Spectrum
5.9–6.4 GHz operation band is free from DFS restrictions — no radar detection required. As 5GHz becomes increasingly congested, 6GHz offers cleaner channel selection.
500+ Mbps Actual Throughput
802.11ac 2×2 MIMO over 80MHz bandwidth, combined with the QCA 9563 processor and hardware acceleration, delivers 500+ Mbps TCP/IP throughput.
iPoll 3 Smart Polling Protocol
iPoll 3 eliminates hidden node problems through intelligent polling and token scheduling. In PtMP mode, it maintains low latency and high throughput even with multiple CPEs.
Ultra-Compact Design
At just 158×97×38mm and 185g, this is the smallest and lightest model in the YNW 6 series. Ideal for space-constrained installations on small poles.
Integrated Surge Protection
On-board 3kV line-to-ground and 1kV line-to-line surge protection provides critical ESD and lightning-induced surge protection for outdoor deployments.
Model Overview
The YNW 6 series includes four models covering integrated and external antenna configurations for different range and deployment scenarios.
| Model | Antenna | Gain | PTP Range | PTMP Range | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| YNW 6-15ac | Integrated Panel | 15 dBi | 7 km | 5 km | Short-range PtP / PtMP |
| YNW 6-20ac | Integrated Panel | 20 dBi | 15 km | 10 km | Medium-range PtP / PtMP |
| YNW 6-90ac | Integrated 90° Sector | 18 dBi | — | 5 km | Sector base station |
| YNW 6ac | N-Type (External) | Depends on antenna | Up to 15 km | Depends on antenna | Custom antenna deployment |
