1 x 108Mbps 11a Radio + 1 x 108Mbps 11a/b/g Radio*
802.3af PoE port**
Up to 23dBm Output power in 11a mode
Operate in 2.4GHz and 5GHz
Multi-mode AP functions
3 LAN ports
he WLA-9000AP is a dream device for WISP to build their wireless networks. The AP features 2 Atheros 11a/b/g radios that run in 5Ghz or 2.4GHz frequency band. Moreover, it provides hi-power at 11a mode for extra long distance application. There is an intergraded 802.3af POE port to let you run the AP at up to 100 meter distance away from the power source.
Dual Wireless + Hi Power + 3 LAN Ports
The WLA-9000AP is equipped with 2 high-powered Atheros radios. The radio 1 runs in the 11a 5GHz mode only while the radio 2 runs at the 11a/b/g dual band mode. AirLive adds high power amplifier to run the AP at 23dBm in 11a mode(200mW), that’s 4 times the output power of normal 11a radio(50mW). In addition, 3 programmable LAN ports are available for multi-mode AP/Gateway configuration.
Multiple Operation Modes
The WLA-9000AP can operate in multiple wireless modes for different application environments. Here are some examples:
Dual WDS Bridge Mode: In this mode, the AP can act as a signal repeating station in a wireless backbone network. In addition, it can also function as directing station for NLOS application.
Dual AP Mode: In this mode, each of AP’s radio will work as broadcast station. Having 2 radios means the coverage can be much stronger and further than 1 radio device.
AP + WDS Mode: In this mode, the AP can act as a signal repeating station in a wireless backbone network. In addition, it can also function as directing station for NLOS application.
Ap + Client Mode: In this mode, one station works as an intermediate station. This enable the AP to link with remote stations using client mode, then distribute the signal to other clients using AP mode.
AirLive also plan to have more wireless modes available in the near future.
802.3af PoE Port
WLA-9000AP is equipped with an 802.3af Power Over Ethernet port. Therefore, you do not need a separate POE Splitter. When used with the optional POE adapter and DC Injector, it can operate at up to 100 meter away from the power source. Standard DC power adapter is provided for non-POE application.
VLAN & QoS
WLA-9000AP provides Multi-SSID to create different wireless networks using one AP. The TAG VLAN feature allows service provider to control service content of each SSID network all the way back to core router. The QoS feature allows prioritizing the different package according the 802.11e WMM protocol and triple play(Voice, Video and Data).
* Radio 1(WLAN1) works in 11a (5GHz) mode only. Radio2 (WLAN2) works in either 11a(5GHz) or 11b/g(2.4GHz) mode ** Optional POE adapter and DC Injector might be required
