A6
D ATA S H E E T
Supercharged Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP)
Wi-Fi 6E-Based, 8x8, Beamforming, Access Point
The A6 fixed wireless access point delivers massive 7 Gbps capacity, unbelievable
subscriber capacity, and synchronized network scalability for unlicensed, outdoor, fixed
wireless PTMP networks. The first future-proof solution delivering fiber fast gigabit speeds
to subscribers via wireless, the A6 extends beyond the traditional 5 GHz band to take
advantage of expanded 160 MHz channels in the new, low-noise 6 GHz band.
Scalable, Low-Noise 6 GHz Band
Previous OFDM-based fixed wireless solutions lacked
subscriber scalability, requiring costly investment in too
many AP sites, introducing massive interference in an
already crowded 5 GHz band, with no noise
mitigation capabilities.
Superior Wi-Fi 6E Technology
Armed with the latest Wi-Fi 6E technologies, including
8x8 MU-MIMO, 1024-QAM, noise fighting
beamforming, massively reduced resource unit size,
low-latency OFDMA, and network wide GPS sync, the
A6 resets nearly every performance and scalability bar IP
in the industry. 5.150-
6.425 7
GHz Gbps IP67
Extreme Performance and Value
Pairing these incredible innovations with brand new, 29 8x8
SRS dBm MU-MIMO
interference-free 6 GHz spectrum, the A6 can deliver
gigabit+ subscriber speeds needed for advanced rural
broadband projects, and the high-scalability to tackle 6 GHz
OFDMA AFC 1
the most dense, urban NLOS areas cost effectively.
