Wi-Fi Cellular Base Station A8: A New Generation of Metropolitan Wireless Broadband based on Wi-Fi Smart Antenna Technology(TM)

Mobile devices like Laptops, the iPhone's or Wi-Fi handheld terminals all have power limitations and relatively weak signals. Altai created a unique smart antenna signal processing technology enabling all these devices to operate at much longer distances than before.

Altaí Smart Antenna(TM) technology is based on principles used in deep space sensing and transceiving equipment. Altai's high sensitivity and long two-way operating range makes Wi-Fi platform rollouts significantly less expensive than alternatives while improving users experience. Network installation costs are decreased significantly by bringing down the number of access points, installation and backhaul points as well as reducing long-term lease and operation and maintenance expenses.

Now being used throughout the world in City wide and High-Traffic Servcie Provider Deployments, Campus, Industrial and Rural deployments, Altai Technologies A8 base stations have been proven to be the most effective in far reaching urban and remote Wi-Fi applications.

With Altai A8, setting up a WiFi cellular base system is easyier, faster and less expensive compared to conventional mesh systems. With today's 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 and also provides lower latency service, faster throughput and more connected users.

Altai Technology's A8 base station application has received world wide renowned Awards based on its improvement on the WiFi signal coverage area by 10 times. Moreover, its application 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. For smaller indoor deployment see the Altai A3 802.11 a/b/g/n unit.

Some of the highlighted features of the Altai A8 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)
