System Description:
The M5800SB-AP-60 is a part of the SunStream5800 Broadband Access Solution.
Specifically, the M5800SB-AP-60 is a broadband wireless Internet access point
designed for sending and receiving Ethernet-based data traffic in a point to multi-
point configuration and presents an alternative to conventional wiring which may
be impractical and/or too slow.
An Access Point can manage up to five hundred Subscriber Units per sector. A
sector is defined a 60 degree coverage area that an Access Point’s integrated
antenna “sees”. The system utilizes robust spread-spectrum technology to reduce
susceptibility to interference.
The typical Access Point installation consists of one or more M5800SB-AP-60 radios
that are mounted outdoors and one or more Junction Boxes that are mounted
indoors. Each Junction Box provides power to the radio by injecting the power onto
the unused pairs of an Ethernet cable.
The Access Point is aligned towards the service area. The coverage area will
depend on the unit mounting height and down tilt, but in general it is a 10-degree
(elevation) by 60-degree (azimuth) projection perpendicular from the unit’s radome
onto the service area.
Items you will need to supply:
Certain items are not included with the Access Point Kit and you will need to
provide these items for a successful installation. These items are listed below:
One (1) length of straight through CAT5 cable, not to exceed 50 meters, to connect
the Subscriber Unit Radio to the Junction Box. This cable will carry Ethernet traffic
and power.
