Super WiFi = Smart Antenna WiFi + Cellular Architecture




Altai Solution

By making use of the smart antenna design and advanced signal processing algorithm, the A8 WiFi base station can effectively provide extended WiFi signal coverage and improved uplink performance, whilst minimizing the interference effect of other signals in the un-licensed frequency spectrum, and yet lower the required capital investment in wireless network infrastructure.

Benefits to Service Providers
By deploying the outdoor WiFi base station with super coverage, service providers can be able to:


System FeaturesDistinct AdvantagesKey Benefits
Smart Antenna Technology
  • Increase coverage
  • Improve uplink performance (for WiFi clients with low transmit power)
  • Minimal number of AP required to cover an area
  • Minimal total cost of ownership
  • Facilitate interactive and two-way applications
Multi-radio Hardware Architecture
  • Better interference mitigation (interference to one sector will be reduced at other sectors)
  • Take advantage of multi-path effects (coverage divided into different sectors)
  • Maintain system robustness and performance in un-licensed frequency spectrum, and under different environment

  • Cover the un-served area with wireless broadband in a short time (less base stations to be built & commissioned)
  • Lower the total cost in deploying & operating the network (less installation sites & equipment to be acquired & setup)
Coverage/Capacity Improvement
  • Advanced digital signal processing algorithm
  • Multi-path beam switching to select best receiving signal
  • Adaptive interference control
  • Coverage/capacity improvement
Super WiFi = Smart Antenna WiFi + Cellular Architecture

Technology Positioning of WiFi

Among the various wireless technologies, WiFi is originally positioned as a wireless LAN application for indoor coverage.
We use patented smart antenna technology to increase the standard coverage of WiFi signal, so as to making WiFi can be deployed in outdoor environment.




The A8 WiFi base station can provide super coverage:
  • 300-500m radius in non-line-of -sight environment (NLOS)
  • Upto 1km radius in line-of-sight environment (LOS); whereas typical WiFi coverage is around 100-150m NLOS


The WiFi Challenge

Weak Uplink Performance
Unlike 2G/3G cellular devices, the WiFi clients have low transmit power and without any power control mechanism. The WiFi uplink performance is very limited.




Uplink Requirement On The Rise
Nowadays, many consumer devices (PDAs, dual-mode phones, multimedia players) are equipped with WiFi and user applications (emails, interactive gaming/messaging, image/video upload) emphasize increasing uplink requirement.
