Altai A8n
Super WiFi Base Station
802.11n Long Range Outdoor WiFi
The Altai A8n Super WiFi Base Station is the world’s
leading 802.11n WiFi outdoor access point
optimized for maximum coverage and highest
throughput from a minimum number of installation
sites. The Altai A8n has been designed to provide
industry best coverage and capacity without
complicated networking protocols or the need for a
high density of transmitters.
The A8n is a multi-radio base station utilizing 2x2
MIMO smart antenna technologies and a patented
signal processing algorithm to provide the industry’s
best coverage per base station, especially in non-
line-of sight (NLOS) environments. The multiple
antennas of the A8n can be configured to provide
coverage that is optimized for area, pattern and
elevation. Using up to 80% fewer access points than
other WiFi systems to cover the same area enables
less complex network design and provides lower
latency for improvement in handling real-time
applications such as VoIP and video streaming.
Whether deployed for a single location, a campus
area or city-wide network coverage, the Altai A8n is
designed to minimize the total cost of ownership with
significant savings in network equipment, broadband
access, planning, site acquisition and installation.
The Altai A8n can serve as last mile infrastructure for
a wide range of wireless broadband access
applications. It provides low deployment cost and
fast provisioning of WiFi systems with the greatest
coverage and bandwidth per installed base
station.
The A8n Super WiFi Base Station can be deployed in
conjunction with existing 3G networks to provide low
cost high bandwidth mobile data offloading solution.
The A8n can be co-located with existing 3G cell sites
allowing immediate WiFi provisioning at much lower
acquisition and operating costs.
As an integral part of our Super WiFi network infrastructure, key benefits of the Altai A8n include:
Link integrity, backhaul link self healing and access link
safe mode
Adaptive interference control mitigates the influence from
surrounding interfering sources
Standard 802.11b/g/n access and 802.11a/n backhaul
Giga Ethernet or integrated 802.11a/n wireless backhaul
Flexible antenna deployment for various site conditions
Remote configuration through the Altai Wireless
Management System (AWMS)
Extended coverage in a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS)
environment which matches the foot print of most 3G
deployments in dense urban environments
High 11n throughout capacity up to 300 Mbps data rate
4-sector x dual-diversity advanced Smart Antenna
Technology provides flexible 90 to 360-degree and large
vertical beamwidth coverage with minimal holes in dense
urban environments
Multi-radio 2x2:2 MIMO platform maximizing both
uplink/downlink performance and access redundancy
