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.

Key Features

ۼ The N-type female connectors allow

replacement of the supplied omni-directional antennas with the most appropriate for the use case.

IEEE 802.11e Wireless Multimedia (WMM)

ۼ Quality of Service (QoS) on the wireless

network optimizes the per formance 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

ۼ 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.
