TQm5403

3-radio 802.11ac Wave 2 Wireless Access Point

The Allied Telesis Enterprise-class TQm5403 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 Allied Telesis TQm5403 is a three-

radio wireless LAN access point that
supports IEEE802.11ac Wave 2, and
is ideal for small to medium enterprise
networks, providing a high-value and
easily deployed wireless solution.

The TQm5403 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 superior wireless connectivity.

The TQm5403 can operate in

standalone mode, using its intuitive
web-based user interface. For medium
scale 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. The Allied Telesis
network management platform, Vista
Manager EX, has an AWC wireless
management plugin that supports up
to 100 APs.

Flexible deployment options enable
easy installation, with the TQm5403
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

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 TQm5403 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.

Virtual APs with Multiple SSIDs

ۼۼ The TQm5403 supports Virtual AP (VAP)

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

ۼۼ VAPs can be mapped to VLANs for logical network

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

IEEE 802.11e Wireless Multimedia
(WMM)

ۼۼ Quality of Ser vice (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 R ADIUS controls
access to the network.

Link Aggregation

ۼۼ The TQm5403 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 A P
to the wired network.

Captive Portal

ۼۼ 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

ۼۼ Dynamic VLANs 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 server is supported
and a secondary RADIU S server can also be
specified for redundancy.

Graphical User Interface

ۼۼ The web-based user interface is user friendly and

intuitive, minimizing training needs, and allowing
easy management and monitoring of a single AP.
AWC enables management of multiple APs, 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.

Key Features

Fast Roaming

ۼۼ Fast Roaming with 802.11k, 802.11v, and

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

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.
