Tenda B6 5GHz 11n 300Mbps Basestation

**Tenda B6 5GHz 11n 300Mbps Basestation** The Tenda B6 is designed for point-to-point (PtP) and point-to-multipoint (PtMP) solutions, making it ideal for establishing wireless connectivity in rural areas and for CCTV surveillance. With its two RP-SMA connectors, it can pair with dish antennas or sector antennas to create a PtP backhaul connection and a P2MP link. One of the key features of the B6 is the TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) proprietary protocol, also known as TD-MAX. This protocol helps to improve performance and capacity, making it suitable for outdoor applications in wireless WISP networks. **Super Channel-Extended Frequency** The B6 utilizes a Qualcomm AR9344 chipset and special software optimization for radio-driven architecture to offer extended frequency support. This feature allows users to move away from congested, unlicensed 5GHz bands and into cleaner spectrum. **TD-MAX: Tenda TDMA Proprietary Protocol** TD-MAX is Tenda’s proprietary TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) protocol that improves performance and capacity for wireless WISP outdoor applications. In outdoor environments, CPEs (Customer Premises Equipment) use highly directional antennas to connect to the basestation from distances that can reach several kilometers. However, these CPEs cannot sense each other, becoming “hidden nodes” and unable to coordinate access to the wireless channel. This leads to frequent collisions from stations transmitting simultaneously, which, as the network scales, build up exponentially, increasing latency and lowering throughput. With TD-MAX, the basestation coordinates all data transmission and allocates time for active clients, providing greater noise immunity performance compared to the conventional 802.11 CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) protocol. **10/20/30/40MHz Channel Bandwidth for Better Throughput** The B6 applies special optimization in software for register parameters to deliver 10/20/30/40MHz channel bandwidth options. This provides extra bandwidth options for different application scenarios. When choosing a 30MHz channel bandwidth option, it increases throughput for noisy environments. Conversely, selecting a 10MHz channel bandwidth option increases the number of available, non-overlapping channels, allowing networks to scale better. **Dimension and Deployment** The B6 has dimensions of 194.7 x 83 x 42.1mm and is designed for deployment on a pole mount. Its PtP and PtMP capabilities make it suitable for rural wireless connectivity and CCTV surveillance. **Frequency Range and Standards** The Tenda B6 operates in the 5GHz frequency range and adheres to the IEEE 802.11a/n standards. It also supports a private TDMA protocol known as TD-MAX. **Maximum Wireless Speed** The maximum wireless speed supported by the B6 is 300Mbps. **Interface and Antenna** The basestation features a 1*10/100Mbps Ethernet port and two RP-SMA connectors for antennas. It also includes a reset button, a ground pin, and a power indicator. The power consumption is 8.5W, and it has an IP65 waterproof level. **Other Features** The B6 allows for channel bandwidth selection options of 10/20/30/40MHz, providing extra options for different application needs. It supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), has a lightning protection level of 6000V, and can be managed by a controller PC software called CPE Assistant. **Security and Configuration** The basestation supports various wireless security protocols, including 64/128 WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA&WPA2-PSK, WPA, and WPA2. It also supports wireless access control, weak signal client limitation, adjustable transmit power, WMM capability, APSD capability, and VPN pass-through (PPTP, L2TP). **Package Contents** The package includes the 5GHz 11N 300Mbps basestation, a PoE power adapter, and a quick installation guide. **Temperature and Humidity** The basestation operates in a temperature range of -30°C to 60°C and can be stored in a temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. It also operates in a humidity range of 10% to 90% non-condensing and can be stored in a humidity range of 10% to 90% non-condensing. **Default Settings** The default login IP address is 192.168.2.1, the default login username is “admin,” and the default login password is also “admin.” **Certifications** The Tenda B6 is certified by FCC, CE, and RoHS.
