Planet 5GHz 802.11ac 900Mbps TDMA Outdoor Long Range Wireless CPE Kit WBS-900AC-KIT

Stable and Reliable Long-range Outdoor Wireless Solution with Superior Performance

PLANET WBS-900AC-KIT 5GHz 802.11ac 900Mbps TDMA Outdoor Long-range Wireless CPE Kit offers a long-range and excellent throughput better than those of the traditional wireless device. The distance from one location to another can reach up to 20km. With the standard IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE) design, the WBS-900AC CPE can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. The WBS-900AC-KIT is definitely suitable for wireless long-distance city-to-city connectivity for all applications. Based on TDMA and ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control) technology, the WBS-900AC-KIT allows a number of users to share the same frequency band without interference between users by allowing them to transmit at a different time slot. With the IP65-rated outdoor enclosure, the WBS-900AC-KIT can perform normally under rigorous weather conditions, meaning it can be installed in any harsh, outdoor environments.

Benefits of TDMA and ATPC

Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is a channel access method for shared-medium networks. It allows several users to share the same frequency channel by dividing the signal into different time slots. The users transmit in rapid succession, one after the other, each using its own time slot. This allows multiple stations to share the same transmission medium while using only a part of its channel capacity. With the TDMA technology, the WBS-900-KIT reduces interference between users by allowing them to transmit at different times. It provides a better quality data transmission compared to other techniques because it reduces interference and allows for more efficient use of the available frequency spectrum. The ATPC provides automatic wireless signal adjustment in accordance with the environment, reduces mutual interference between the CPEs, and improves the stability of data transmission.

Benefits of MU-MIMO under 802.11ac Wave 2

With the MU-MIMO Wave 2 technology, the WBS-900AC, installed in public areas such as hotspots, airports and conferences, reduces the frustration that Wi-Fi users often experience in downloading web pages, e-mail file attachments and media contents. For cellular operators, the WBS-900AC provides a better Wi-Fi user experience, reducing the likelihood of users turning off Wi-Fi and putting more load on the cellular network. For enterprises, this technology also can solve Wi-Fi congestion issues in open work spaces and conference rooms.

Flexible, Durable and Reliable Outdoor Characteristics

To reach maximum reliability in the harsh environment, the WBS-900AC-KIT not only comes with IP65-rated casing, but also adopts the Qualcomm Chipset Solution, capable of withstanding wide temperature ranging from -40 to 70 degrees C. Designed with the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) power scheme, the WBS-900AC-KIT can be easily installed in the areas where power outlets are not available. Furthermore, it is also suitable to be integrated with PLANET Renewable Powered PoE System to offer farther wireless service in remote areas.

Designed for Various Requirements

The WBS-900AC-KIT is specially designed for long-distance outdoor wireless solutions that are capable of establishing stable bridge connection with 29dBi high gain dish antenna. To provide long range and maximum performance., the WBS-900AC-KIT can implement 3 operation modes and is easy to use where a multitude of applications in communities, warehouses, campuses, harbors, etc. can be made.

3 Simple Steps to Set Up PtP Connection

Without needing to enter the Web interface for configuration, the WBS-900AC-KIT has the DIP switch for setting to master (AP mode) and to slave (Station mode). User only needs three simple steps to establish the PtP connection without any difficulty. By just switching the button to “Master” on the master AP, and pressing the reset button, the PtP connection can be established in 2 minutes as the connection steps are shown below.

Long-distance Connection 

PLANET WBS-900AC-KIT is specially designed for long-distance outdoor wireless bridge solutions that are capable of establishing stable bridge connection with 29dBi high gain dish antenna to provide long-range connection and maximum performance. It supports TDMA that can reduce interference between users by allowing them to transmit at different times even when a large number of users shares the same frequency band. It is easy to install and adjust the suitable setting in appropriate locations. The connection distance would be up to 20km and the throughput would be up to 80Mbps. In the aspect of management, the adjustable transmit power control and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN that the WBS-900AC features regulate network data transfer by delaying the flow of less important or less desired packets.
