LigoWave APC 2M-90 2.4GHz MIMO Sector Base Station

LigoWave 2.4GHz MIMO 90Deg Sector Base Station

The APC 2M-90 delivers the highest performance and stability available in the 2.4 GHz Base Station class class. This product combines a robust IP-65 compliant enclosure with a highly advanced 802.11n radio core containing MIMO 2x2 technology along with an integrated high gain dual-polarised 90° sector antenna. The device is powered by a reliable, advanced, and feature-rich operating system, allowing the creation of very high throughput and stable wireless networks quickly, safely, and effectively. In addition, the APC 2M-90 supports client operating mode which extends application scenarios, but the main advantage of this model is a base station with a professional integrated antenna.

The robust software engine allows the APC 5M-90 to work as bridge or as a router, provides a user-friendly Adobe Flex - based GUI with instant changes, includes useful installation tools (Site survey, Antenna alignment, Delayed reboot, Spectrum analyzer), and also is compatible with Wireless Network Management System for one of the most advanced management tools on the market.

In addition to being extremely fast and functional, the new LigoWave OS has all the features required for the WISP community including router and bridge modes, auto modulation, smart auto-channel, internal UAM (captive portal), WDS (compatible with 3rd party equipment), VLAN’s, virtual AP’s, traffic shaping, tools such as antenna alignment, site survey and many more.

iPoll

New PTMP protocol LigoWave APC series products have an option to use extremely efficient proprietary point-to-multipoint protocol called iPoll. It eliminates mediated access by polling every subscriber sequentially. The data transmission arbitration is accomplished by the access point. The AP sends data and a poll frame to a station and receives data from the polled station before starting to poll other stations. Each station starts sending data once a poll frame is received. Proprietary iPollTM protocol enables maximum bandwidth with the lowest possible latency.

Integrated spectrum analyzer

All LigoWave APC series devices have an integrated spectrum analyzer. It is a real-time spectrum scanning tool, which provides a graphical signal representation and displays maximum, average, and current signal (noise) levels. This makes the installation of devices very easy and allows spectrum pre-scanning to avoid interference problems.

IP standards compliance

LigoWave APC series equipment are tested against harsh weather conditions to perform well in extreme temperature conditions. Each of the products has an IP standards based rating.

Wall and pole mounting options

Wall and pole mouting options are available for each of the APC series products and there is no need to buy any additional hardware to be able to mount the unit on the wall.

Small size and light packaging

All the products are very light and small in size to ensure low shipping costs for the end-users.
