WaveACCESS NET 2400 Installation Guide 1-7
WaveACCESS NET Ruggedized Unit 1
The WaveACCESS NET 2400 units are fully ruggedized and
suitable for outdoor installation, in weather conditions of -40
°
C to
55
°
C.
An internal antenna is embedded in each unit, although there is
also an option to use an external antenna for wider coverage. A
single flexible cable is used to transmit data and supply the unit’s
power. The WaveACCESS NET 2400 product now includes a
power/data adapter that connects to the AC power supply directly
and provides an Ethernet connection.
While the WaveACCESS NET 2400 system is fully compatible with
the previous WaveACCESS NET version, it provides enhanced
functionality, as follows:
■ Firstly, the fact that the unit is ruggedized and has an
embedded antenna precludes the need for a long RF cable
connecting the indoor unit to its external antenna (with its
inevitable losses). Thus, the signal quality and the effective
ranges are improved.
Increased maximum range enables ISPs to accommodate
more users with a higher data rate in that cell and at the same
level of service. This benefits both ISPs and users of the
system, as users with a low data rate use more bandwidth
when transmitting the same data, than users with a higher data
rate.
■ Secondly, the WaveACCESS NET 2400 units custom cable
connects to both the AC power supply and the Ethernet via a
single box, as opposed to the two boxes (one each for power
supply and Ethernet) in the previous version. The cable itself is
thin and easy to manipulate and enables the unit to be placed
up to 100 meters from the power supply.
■ Thirdly, the WaveACCESS NET 2400 is easier to install.
