1 Product Overview

TB 8 H is a p o we rfu l W IFI B rid g e/ A P de vic e, w hic h allo w s W IFI ac c e s s a n d vid eo /a ud io /d ata trans mis sio n d e vic e, e na b le s lo n g-range, fast speed and robust wireless connections. Inte g rated with C reatco m m’s V Trans technology, TB8H has the advantages of long-d istance, high-throughput, and between point-to-m ulti-p o int pe rfo rm a n c e s .

VTrans technologies include TDMA, 10M/20M/40M/80MHz bandwidth, intelligent rate c o n tro l, A u to A C K Tim e-O ut Adjust and so on. TDMA technology solves the problems of hid d en -node problem in the 802.11 network. 10M/20M/40M/80MHz bandwidth can be fle xib ly c o n figu re d b y the u se s in d iffe re nt w o rking sc e n ario to a c hie ve the be s t link q ua lity.

A C K T im e -O ut Auto Adjust can automatically detect the distances of the TB8H devices, and thus adjust the wireless p ara m e te rs to ac hie ve the b es t w ire les s lin k q u a lity.

The best transmission range and max speed of TB8H can be 867M b p s, m aking it s uitab le fo r m any a p p lic a tio ns o f W IFI B rid g e, e s p e c ially h a ve a d v a ntage s fo r p o in t-to -mu lti-p o int communication.

TB8H has the following advantages compared to the competitors:

1. Embedded VTrans technology

TB8H devices is embedded with VTrans technology, including TDMA, 10M/20M/40M/80MHz bandwidth, intelligent rate control, Auto AC K Time-o ut ad just. It makes the device have longer transmission distance, higher throughput and better pointto-m u lti-p o int pe rform ance .

2. Longer transmission distance, higher throughput

The longest transmission distance of TB8H can be as far as 5 km, and the max throughput can be 866Mbps. It can satisfy the needs of most of the applications.

3. Embedded hardware watchdog

TB8H is embedded with hardware watchdog, which is used to monitor the working status of the device. Once the system is not working properly, the TB8H device can be rebooted to guarantee the stab ility of the s ystem.

4. Software Ping watchdog function

TB8H software ping watchdog function enable the device period ic ally p in g an o the r d e vic e as so c iated to , s o th at it c an d e te c t if th e s ystem is w o rkin g w ell. If th e w irele s s link is lo s t or there is any problem, the device is rebooted. This is important because the devices can b e re s to re d to wo rk a u to m atic a lly if th e re is any problem, and avoid the extra human labour to maintain the outdoor devices.

5. M o re N o n -standard channels availability

Currently most of the WIFI devices are working at standard 802.11 5.8GHz and 2.4GHz frequency. However, standard 802.11 5.8GHz and 2 .4G H z o n ly p rov id e lim ite d c h a nne ls , and there is serious interference if there are a lot of 5.8G Hz and 2.4GHz WIFI devices nearby. TB8H support more channels near 5.8G Hz and 2.4G Hz band, and spread the band to non-standard frequency part. The advantage of working at the no n-standard band is to avoid the interference in the standard channels, and the wireless throughput can be improved.

N o te:

Please confirm whether those non-stan d a rd c h an n els are p e rmitte d lo c a lly b e fo re

using them.
