AT3600 Series Base Transceiver Stations/AP'sFAMILY BROCHURE
DATASHEET
High Performance System ArchitectureThe AirTegrity AT3600 Series Base Transceiver Stations can be deployed by themselves, providing a powerful AP solution to fulfill all standard PMP or PtP applications, or they can be deployed in conjunction with the AT4000 Series Base Station controllers to implement a full Carrier-Class integrated WiFi/WiMAX solution. Auto Modulation NegotiationThe AirTegrity™ AT3600 series Base Transceiver Stations provide outstanding RF performance and dynamically adjust the modulation scheme for each subscriber to ensure the highest bandwidth and performance possible. Dynamic Routing (RIP, OSPF)AirTegrity offers two widely accepted and versatile dynamic routing protocols to adapt to smaller, less demanding networks, as well as city wide metropolitan MESH networks. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is one of the most commonly used interior gateway protocol (IGP) which helps routers dynamically adapt to changes in network connections, by communicating information about which networks each router can reach and how far away those networks are. RIP is a mature, stable, widely supported, and easy to configure routing protocol. Its simplicity is well suited for use in small autonomous systems that do not have enough redundant paths to warrant the extra system overhead and user administration of a more sophisticated protocol. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol is a hierarchical IGP, using a link-state in the individual areas that make up the hierarchy. The state of the link is a description of that interface and of its relationship to its neighboring routers. For example, the IP address of the interface, the mask, the type of network it is connected to, the routers connected to that network and so on. The collection of all these link-states would form a link-state database for better load balancing and different methods of password authentication. Also, updates are only sent when routing changes occur instead of periodically. This ensures a better use of bandwidth. This of course would lead to more complexity in configuring and troubleshooting OSPF networks. Also, this will introduce more overhead in memory allocation and CPU utilization. The AT3604 Outdoor Enclosure provides outstanding RF and weatherproof performance with convenient mounting options. The AP includes one N-female connector for attaching the appropriate external sector antenna, and comes complete with a POE injector and localized power cord and a single 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port. With a power output up to 700 mW, the AT3604 is ideal for applications such as:
