WiFi cellular base station A8: a new generation of metropolitan wireless broadband product based on smart antenna technology

Utilizing the knowledge gained from developing the remote sensing capabilities used by NASA to view Mars' surface, engineers at Altai Technologies have created smart antenna signal processing technologies for a longer range, less expensive alternative for the hot municipal WiFi market. Now being used throughout the world, the Altai Technologies A8 base station has been proven effective in both urban and remote applications.

With Altai A8, setting up a WiFi cellular base system is easy and much less expensive compared to conventional mesh systems. With today's standard mesh technology, roughly 15 to 30 units are required to provide a square mile of coverage. Altai's higher reach technology requires significantly fewer units per square mile of coverage with savings of up to 40% over conventional mesh systems.

Altai Technologies A8 base station application was selected as the "Award of the Year" of the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2006, based on its improvement on the WiFi signal coverage area by 10 times, particularly in non-line of sight environment; with multiple smart antenna radio platform supports 360-degree coverage; and the flexible antenna configuration catered for different site conditions. Moreover, its application also supports real-time applications including Voice over IP, video streaming, and interactive gaming; as well as real-time user mobility with smart antenna beam tracking technologies.

Some of the highlighted features are:

Extended coverage in a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) environment which matches the foot print of most microcellular deployments in dense urban
environment
Dual-Diversity Beam-forming Smart Antenna Technology to provide a consistent 360-degree coverage with minimal holes in dense urban
environment
Multi-radio platform to maximize both uplink/downlink performances
High data throughput running at 54 Mbps data rate
Supporting real-time applications such as VoIP, video-streaming and interactive gaming with minimal latency
Standard 802.11 b/g access and 802.11a backhaul
Fast Ethernet or integrated 802.11a wireless backhaul
Flexible antenna deployment for various site conditions
Remote Configuration through the Altai Wireless Management System (AWMS)

This product is only sold through certified resellers and with ABP Technical support.
