1.1.1 MA 850 Features and Capabilities
• Multi-use infrastructure:
The same cables and antennas used for Wi-Fi can be used to support the simultaneous
extension and distribution of other wireless voice and data services, as follows:
o Support for four 802.11b/g AP ports
o Mobile services from MobileAccess 1000/2000, ModuLite or Litenna remote units
• Simple installation and maintenance:
o All active elements are in the telecom shaft or closet
o All data and voice services distributed via a common coax cabling and broadband
antennas
o AP Clustering - 802.11 access points (APs) connect to the MA 850 in telecom closets
• Scalable: Additional APs connected as needed to the MA 850
• Management:
o Robust system management - Familiar SNMP-based management provides proactive
visibility and control of the MA 850 based Wi-Fi infrastructure.
o Management through local RS232 connection and remote WEB management
• WI-Fi applications transparency - The MA 850 uses discrete, passive antennas to
radiate 802.11 signals, providing a coverage architecture that replicates the behaviors
necessary to transparently support advanced AP features and location-sensitive Wi-Fi
applications.
• High-power - With integral constant gain amplifiers combined with its low-loss
architecture, the MA 850 offers scalable support for demanding applications such as wireless
VoIP
