Antaira 5GHz wireless AP, client bridge simplifies point-to-point, multipoint applications
Antaira Technologies is providing a secure, cost-effective way to extend wireless networks with the launch of its AMY-5133-AC-PD-KIT and AMY-5133-AC-PD wireless AP (access point)/client bridge devices. Supporting net data rates up to 867Mbps, its semi-industrial radio broadcasts 5GHz, 802.11A/N/AC signals for use in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless data applications, facilitating high-density transmissions between buildings and over large areas without the complexity of Ethernet cables.
The AMY-5133-AC-PD-KIT consists of two pre-configured units for those customers looking for accessible installations. The kit’s pre-configured bridges will automatically locate their peer to create a secure, long-range wireless network link. Pre-configured settings can be changed via the web interface on either side of the network. On the other hand, the AMY-5133-AC-PD is sold as a single unit and can be manually paired with another unit.
The AMY-5133-AC-PD-KIT and AMY-5133-AC-PD devices combine a rugged yet compact plastic housing with an integrated high-gain, 14dBi MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) directional panel antenna and is powered by a Qualcomm 802.11AC chipset featuring MU-MIMO technology. Together, these features decrease the time each device must wait for a signal and speed up the network, improving the transmitting and receiving of multiple data streams even in RF (radio frequency)-congested sites. The 128MB of RAM and an additional 16MB of flash memory makes the wireless units suitable for applications demanding higher capacities.
Like all Antaira network devices, the AMY-5133-AC-PD-KIT and AMY-5133-AC-PD have been engineered for flexible installation. These units offer the option of being powered by either Gigabit Ethernet IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE, PoE+) via its two RJ45 auto-sensing ports or an external 12VDC power supply. Depending on the needs of the application, it can be wall-or pole-mounted in temperature ranges as diverse as -30° to 45° C (-22° to 113° F).
These Antaira wireless devices are embedded with an HTML web GUI (graphical user interface) interface so it can be managed anywhere on the network through a web browser. However, for more basic installations, DIP (dual in-line package) switches on the device make it possible to set up a bridging pair without having to access the software.
