Altai A8

Super WiFi Base Station

The Altai A8 Super WiFi Base Station is the world’s leading WiFi outdoor access point optimized for maximum coverage from a minimum number of installation sites. The Altai A8 has been designed to provide industry best coverage and capacity without complicated networking protocols or the need for a high density of transmitters.

The A8 is a multi-radio base station utilizing smart antenna technologies and a patented signal processing algorithm to provide the industry’s best coverage per base station, especially in non-line-of sight (NLOS) environments. The multiple antennas of the A8 can be configured to provide coverage that is optimized for area, pattern and elevation.

Using up to 80% fewer access points than other WiFi systems to cover the same area enables less complex network design and provides lower latency for improvement in handling real-time applications such as VoIP and video streaming.
