TQ5403e
Hybrid Outdoor 3-radio 802.11ac Wave 2 Wireless Access Point
The Allied Telesis Enterprise-class TQ5403e outdoor wireless Access Point (AP) 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 TQ5403e enables
optimized wireless networking
for all environments—indoors and
outdoors. By allowing simultaneous
multi-channel and single-channel
WLAN connectivity from the same AP,
network administrators can combine
performance attributes of the two
architectures to best suit their specific
deployment requirements.
The TQ5403e 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, these APs
provide superior wireless solutions for
a wide range of customers, from SMBs
to large Enterprises.
Smaller businesses can operate the
TQ5403e in standalone mode, by using
its intuitive web-based user interface.
In larger installations it can be
managed by Allied Telesis Autonomous
Wave Control (AWC). AWC regularly
analyzes the wireless network, and
dynamically updates APs to reduce
interference, minimize coverage gaps
and optimize performance—all with
no user intervention. Further, the Allied
Telesis robust network management
platform Vista Manager EX has an
AWC wireless management plugin that
supports up to 3,000 APs.
The TQ5403e shines in harsh outdoor
environments and is accompanied by a
wall/pole mounting kit and six
omni-directional antennas. Power is
supplied via Power over Ethernet (IEEE
802.11at, PoE Plus).

Key Features
Channel Blanket Hybrid Operation
ۼ The TQ5403e supports operation in multi-channel,
single-channel (Channel Blanket) and hybrid (multichannel and Channel Blanket) modes, for the most
flexible wireless solution available.
ۼ 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
.
ۼ 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
ۼ 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
MU-MIMO technology.
ۼ Unlike traditional single-user MIMO networks
where devices are served sequentially, MU-MIMO
simultaneously communicates to multiple clients at
once, reducing contention and improving capacity
and throughput by up to three times.
ۼ MU-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
ۼ The TQ5403e 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.
ۼ 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.
Virtual APs with Multiple SSIDs
ۼ The TQ5403e supports Virtual AP (VAP)
functionality, with the assignment of different
SSIDs and security policies for each VAP on the
physical device.
ۼ VAPs can be mapped to VL ANs for logical net work
separation and improved throughput. Enable
communication by application, function or users.
Captive Portal
ۼ Manage user access to the Wi-Fi network with
captive por tal. New users are taken to a login page
ensuring they must authenticate before gaining
access to the wireless network, and any online
resources and applications.
Dynamic VLANs
ۼ 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 is assigned automatically
to the AP. An external R ADIUS server is supported
and a secondary RADIUS server can also be
specified for redundancy.
Graphical User Interface
ۼ 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.
Weather Resistant Enclosure
ۼ The TQ5403e is equipped with high power
radio transceivers (>20dBm) for best-in-class
performances and lightning arresters/surge
protector as recommended for outdoor installation.
The metallic enclosure and the plastic cover are
manufactured to repel ultraviolet (UV ) radiation
from the sun. These protective measures, the
extended operating range (-40°C~65°C), and
the vent for internal pressure equalization, make
the TQ5403e ideal for any location including ski
and beach resorts, sports arenas, college and
corporate campuses, indoor industrial environments
and businesses located in snowy, rainy and arid
climates.
Fast Roaming
ۼ 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.
ۼ 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.
Mounting Options
ۼ The TQ5403e comes with wall/pole mounting and
antenna kits. The external antenna kit has two (2)
detachable antenna for the 2.4 GHz radio and four
(4) detachable antennas for the 5 GHz radio.
