AN-80i Radio Platform

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

The AN-80i radio platform can be software configured to create either point-to-point (PTP) communication links between network locations or high speed point-to-multipoint (PMP) access links between business users and their corporate networks.  The AN-80i's enhanced IEEE 802.16 radio technology delivers high capacity, high throughput and long range along with Redline’s industry leading lowest latency making it ideal for next generation 3G and 4G / LTE networks and for a seamless wireless experience for specialized applications in the oil and gas industry, military organizations and local and state governments.

Overview

M2M communications Products AN80i

The AN-80i is powered by Redline’s innovative third-generation IEEE 802.16 orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology and uses powerful hardware accelerators to achieve high throughput, industry-leading low latency and excellent line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ranges in the most challenging urban and industrial environments.

Available in the 4.9 GHz public safety band, the 5.2 GHz to 5.8 GHz band, the 3.65 - 3.7 GHz band, and the 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz band, the AN-80i is configured via software options and speed keys, allowing you to purchase the features and throughput performance you need today and upgrade later without having to replace any hardware. With a simple software download, the AN-80i can be configured as point-to-point or point-to-multipoint, and it can run specialized applications, from video surveillance to data acquisition, from high performance to ultra-high performance. This common radio platform approach simplifies network design and logistics while providing a high level of future-proofing.

In the PTP configuration, the AN-80i delivers up to 90 Mbps Ethernet data rate – more than double that of the nearest competitor – making it an ideal choice for high-capacity backhaul applications. It has excellent range and is deployed in hundreds of links over 80 kilometers. In the PMP configuration, the AN-80i delivers up to 48 Mbps Ethernet data rate – the highest in its class – and it supports a full range of Quality of Service (QoS) controls to enable business access services for voice, data and video services. Its industry-leading capacity also supports the largest number of video cameras with the highest video quality. With either configuration, the AN-80i assures ultra-low latency – as low as one millisecond – up to 10 times better than the competition.

The AN-80i provides AES-128 and AES-256 encryption options and X.509 certificate-based authentication. As the only broadband wireless solution in its class to achieve FIPS 140-2 certification, it delivers unparalleled security.

Designed to meet stringent carrier-class requirements, HALT accelerated life tested and IP67-certified for outdoor deployment, the AN-80i delivers industry-leading 29-year Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and the industry’s lowest documented field failure rate.

Available with a wide variety of antennas, the AN-80i is quick and easy to install. The product is manageable over-the-air (OTA) via a standard web browser or through Redline's powerful Clearview NMS management software.

The powerful, versatile and reliable AN-80i is ideal for specialized point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless applications where high capacity, long range, security and reliability are paramount.
