PTP Backhaul Bridge AC-N/AC-23

1.PTP Bridge Network Location

As shown below, in the WLAN Network Solution PTP Wireless Bridge are generally forms the back-haul transmission link connecting to gateway of a LAN.

2. Outstanding Capacity

PTP AC Series delivers an extremely high 700Mbps throughput via its unique and powerful RF design that supports up to 256-QAM modulation and 31dBi output power. Our proprietary protocol, specifically engineered for high performing PTP scenarios, minimizes interferences even across long distances and stabilizes latency within 2-4ms.

3. Professional Design

PTP AC Series delivers an extremely high 700Mbps throughput via its unique and powerful RF design that supports up to 256-QAM modulation and 31dBi output power. Our proprietary protocol, specifically engineered for high performing PTP scenarios, minimizes interferences even across long distances and stabilizes latency within 2-4ms.
In addition to achieving maximum performance, we focus on delivering a flexibility and ease-of-use product in our PTP series. The robust mounting bracket enables rapid deployment of the links and ensures survivability during high wind-load. The integrated antenna possesses a 45° rotation option which increases installation flexibility; especially advantageous in noisy spectrum areas. Our special membrane vent design allows fast pressure equalization of the IP-67 rated cast aluminum enclosure to prevent condensation and to ensure seal performance. A detachable handle eases transporting the devices up towers and over rough terrains. Newly designed RGB LEDs indicate different device statuses and signal levels (in 1dBm steps) when aligning the antenna.

4. Powerful Hardware Platform

PTP AC Series delivers powerful performance with its new 1.2GHz CPU dedicated for data processing and high (200,000) packet per second delivery. Equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one with PoE passthrough, the unit allows for 1+1 (failover) or repeater links and is ideal for high-security video surveillance scenarios. PTP incorporates integrated surge and ESD protection according to IEC standards and passes Class 4 requirements.

5. Powerful Software Tools

The PTP AC series’ operating system ensures easy and rapid deployment of point-to-point links with stable, fast performance. An intuitive and responsive user interface adjusts the layout based on the size of your screen. Essential tools including Setup Wizard, link test, antenna alignment, spectrum analyzer, and site survey are included to make set-up and troubleshooting more efficient. Automatic mechanisms such as auto-channel and automatic transmit power control optimize the link for maximum performance even in areas with high interference.

A link setup wizard guides the installer through the important steps of the set-up process.
The integrated spectrum analyzer demonstrates the noise floor in order to find the optimum frequency.
PTP AC Series simplifies link configuration by supporting single side configuration as parameters are automatically applied to lave units once set on the master side

6. Easy Pre-Configuration

When configuring the devices, end-user device (e.g. your working PC) can connect to the master device by its ETH port through an UTP cable. To configure the slave devices automatically connect them as shown on the pictures below and wait until they appear in the List on the mater devices. The Master and Slaver devices can be connected with each other using wired or wireless connectivity when doing the configurations. PTP AC Series devices can be discovered automatically by bonjour and SSDP protocols as well.
