The multi-radio A8 Super WiFi base station uses “smart” antenna technology and a signal-processing algorithm to provide coverage especially for dense, urban non-line-of-site (NLOS) environments. A flexible antenna configuration allows for a variety of placement options designed to provide flexible 90- to 360-degree coverage optimized for area, pattern, and elevation. Altai Technologies Limited’s device claims to enhance signal coverage by ten times, compared to typical outdoor WiFi coverage.

Compliant with 802.11b/g access and 802.11a backhaul standards, the system supports link integrity using backhaul-link self healing and access-link safe mode. The low latency supports real-time applications including voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP), video-streaming, and online gaming, while an adaptive interference control diminishes the effect of surrounding interfering sources.

The weatherproofed, IP67-compliant base station provides an operational wind loading for wind speeds as high as 100 mph, and a survival wind loading as high as 135 mph. Remote configuration and network management is provided using the vendor’s Altai Wireless Management System (AWMS).

The standard package comes with an A8 Super WiFi base station, smart antennas, RF cables, and mounting accessories.  A Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector and a backhaul antenna are available at additional cost.
