TQ5403

Enterprise-Class 802.11ac Wave 2 Wireless Access Point

The Allied Telesis TQ5403 Enterprise-Class Wireless Access Point features

IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 technology with two spatial streams to deliver a raw capacity
of 2.133 Gigabits.

Overview

The innovative Channel Blanket

hybrid mode of the TQ5403 enables
optimized wireless networking
for all environments. By allowing
simultaneous multi-channel and
single-channel WLAN connectivity
from the same access point, network
administrators can combine the
performance attributes of the two
architectures to best suit their specific
deployment requirements.

The TQ5403 has a single 2.4GHz radio

and dual 5GHz IEEE 802.11ac radios,
and supports Multi-User Multiple
Input and Multiple Output (MU-MIMO),
allowing multiple clients to send
and receive data at the same time,
substantially increasing throughput.
Combined with a comprehensive
feature-set, the APs provide a superior
wireless solution for customers from
SMBs to large Enterprises.

Smaller businesses can operate the

TQ5403 in standalone mode, using its

intuitive web-based user interface. For
larger installations it can be managed
by Allied Telesis Autonomous Wave
Control (AWC). With AWC, the wireless
network is regularly analyzed, and APs
are dynamically updated to reduce
interference, minimize coverage gaps,
and optimize performance—all with no
user intervention. Allied Telesis network
management platform, Vista Manager
EX, has an AWC wireless management
plugin that supports up to 3,000 APs.

Flexible deployment options enable
easy installation, with the TQ5403 able
to be used on the desktop or mounted
on a wall or ceiling. Power may be
supplied by Power over Ethernet, for
the simplicity of having the Ethernet
network connect and power the APs,
or by an optional AC power adapter.

Key Features

Channel Blanket Hybrid Operation

ۼۼ The TQ5403 supports operation in multi-channel,

single-channel (Channel Blanket) and hybrid (multi­channel and Channel Blanket) modes, for the most
flexible wireless solution available.

ۼۼ Multi-channel operation provides maximum

throughput for high-bandwidth clients, while Channel
Blanket operation supports seamless roaming for
dynamic environments like warehouses and hospitals,
as all APs appear as a single virtual AP

.

ۼۼ Hybrid mode combines the best of both

architectures, enabling an innovative wireless
solution that maximizes performance for a superior
user experience.

IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2

ۼۼ IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless connectivity

delivers Gigabit performance and throughput.
In crowded wireless environments, efficient
bandwidth distribution is important; IEEE 802.11ac
Wave 2 achieves efficiency and robustness, using
Multi-user MIMO technology.

ۼۼ Unlike traditional Single-user MIMO networks

where devices are served sequentially, Multi-user
MIMO simultaneously communicates to multiple
clients at once, reducing contention and improving
capacity and throughput by up to three times.

ۼۼ Multi-user MIMO uses beamforming, where the

AP focuses wireless signal towards connected
devices, rather than simply radiating the signal
evenly. This improves range and speed for each
user, and reduces inter ference for the best possible
connection.

Tri-radio, with Band Steering

ۼۼ The TQ5403 contains three IEEE 802.11 2ss

radios to enable concurrent Wi-Fi communications:
one at 2.4GHz band, and two at 5GHz band. This
alleviates network congestion and isolates any
legacy client devices affecting performance.

ۼۼ Band steering prompts newly connecting devices

to use a band with little current congestion to
distribute wireless traffic, provide maximum
throughput, and the best user experience.

IEEE 802.11e Wireless Multimedia
(WMM)

ۼۼ Quality of Service (QoS) on the wireless network

optimizes the performance of voice, video, and
data applications, as each has different latency,
bandwidth and performance requirements. QoS
traffic prioritization ensues the timely delivery of
these services.

IEEE 802.11i (security)

ۼۼ This feature set facilitates strong encryption,

authentication and key management strategies,

guaranteeing data and system security. In addition
to Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining
Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP),
IEEE 802.1X key distribution via RADIUS controls
access to the network.

Virtual APs with Multiple SSIDs

ۼۼ The TQ5403 supports Virtual AP (VA P) functionality,

with the assignment of different SSIDs and security
policies for each VAP on the physical device.

ۼۼ VAPs can be mapped to VL ANs for logical net work

separation and improved throughput. Enable
communication by application, function or users.

Link Aggregation

ۼۼ The TQ5403 features two 10/100/1000T Ethernet

ports. These can be combined into a single virtual
connection using static link aggregation, to double
the bandwidth from the AP to the wired network.

Dynamic VLANs

ۼۼ Dynamic VL ANs simplify management by enabling

users to be separated on different VL ANs according
to rules defined in a centralized user database.
When a user connects, their credentials are
checked and the VLAN assigned automatically to
the AP. An external RADIUS ser ver is supported
and a secondary RADIUS server can also be
specified for redundancy.

Graphical User Interface

ۼۼ The web-based user inter face is user friendly and

intuitive, minimizing training needs, and allowing
easy management and monitoring of a single AP.
AWC enables management of multiple A Ps, and
automatic wireless network optimization.

Airtime Fairness

ۼۼ Airtime Fairness equally assigns airtime to each

connected client, to ensure fair and predictable
sharing of bandwidth. This feature prevents any
client from monopolizing the bandwidth when
transferring a large amount of data, and ensures
consistent performance for all users.

Fast Roaming

ۼۼ Fast Roaming with 802.11k, 802.11v, and

802.11r optimizes the process of discovering and
selecting the best available A P in a Wi-Fi network,
and establishes rapid connectivity for users to
seamlessly move between A Ps.

ۼۼ Users will experience a consistent wireless

connection as the APs exchange security keys, so
the client device does not need to re-authenticate
on the RADIUS server as they roam.
