The Access5830 is an enterprise-class wireless access point offering 10 Mbps, direct sequence, and spread spectrum. It operates in both the 5.8 and 5.3 GHz unlicensed bands in multiple channels. This fully weatherized outdoor unit utilizes a technology to efficiently deliver bandwidth to up to 500 subscriber units and includes a comprehensive set of management and deployment tools.

The Access5830™ Access Point is available in two versions, one with an integrated antenna and one with dual external antenna connectors. The Access Point is powered via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for ease of installation.

The Access5830 AP works in conjunction with any Access5830™ compatible subscriber unit including the new Atlas FOX SU.

Tight channels, two bands of operation, coupled with dual polarity antennas allow total collocation potential of up to 22 access points for a fully loaded cell site. More typical deployments involve anywhere from 1 to 6 access points. With a 60 degrees antenna beamwidth, you can cover a full 360 degree site with 6 APs.

Features such as eleven channels, all user-selectable, non-overlapping and programmable, coupled with dual polarity antennas allow for maximum flexibility and permit the administrator to change channel assignments quickly and to minimize susceptibility to interference.

All programming of the network and of authorized subscriber units is consolidated at the AP to maintain full network control. Supported protocols such as Telnet, SNMP, HTTP, and FTP allow network operators to configure and manage the AP database remotely to modify channel plans, configuration, the Subscriber Unit database, and other parameters.

The AP offers a host of management tools designed to allow network operators to quickly and efficiently deploy and manage their Access5830 network. A few features are listed below:

• Site Survey - this tool scans entire band and reports back average and peak interference
• RF LINK / Speed test - tests each SU for quality of link and reports overall bandwidth as well as dropped packet errors.
• Receive Threshold Control - Setting to increase or decrease receiver sensitivity depending on range and interference conditions.
• Channel Planning - Use the Access5830 default channels or assign any frequency to one of 30 available channels in single MHz increments
• Power Leveling - This powerful feature will automatically adjust the output power of each subscriber unit to the specified RSSI Target. This feature allows each SU's signal to be received at the AP at approximately the same level regardless of the AP's distance.
• SNMP - monitor the status of all SU's via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), built in web browser interface, Telnet. Collects and reports all vital SU statistics and status.
