LigoWave APC 5M 5GHz MIMO AP/CPE N-TYPE

LigoWave APC 5 5Ghz MIMO AP or CPE N-TYPE Connectors

The 5 is a versatile, very efficient, and stable 5 GHz access point or client. This product is equipped with an extreme output power (up to 25 dBm) 802.11n MIMO radio wrapped securely inside a robust IP-67 compliant enclosure with two N-type connectors, suited for wide coverage area applications. The robust hardware is coupled with an advanced and feature-rich operating system optimized for high performance communications which allows compatibility with older 802.11a standards while adding support for the latest in wireless communications. The 5 supports access point, station, and WDS operating modes and can act as bridge or as router making it one of the most flexible devices on the market

The robust software engine running on the 5 provides a user-friendly Adobe Flex - based GUI with instant changes, includes useful installation tools (Site survey, Antenna alignment, Delayed reboot) 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 APC 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), VLANs, virtual AP’s, traffic shaping, tools such as antenna alignment, site survey and many more.

iPoll2

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 iPoll protocol enables maximum bandwidth with the lowest possible latency.

Integrated spectrum analyzer

All LigoWave APC series devices have an integrated spectrum analyser. 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 mounting 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.
