Product Overview
Each Access Point supports tens of thousands of sensors and can simultaneously demodulate signals
from up to 1000 sensors using a unique patented multiple access scheme. With 172 dB of total
allowable path loss (FCC/IC regulatory regions) the ULP network can easily be deployed using a star
topology configuration, overcoming the limitations of legacy wireless sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4,
900 MHz FHSS) that require complicated mesh protocols to extend range or operate in a capacity limited
simplex mode.
Enclosure Features
On-Ramp Wireless’ Ultra-Link Processing™ Access Point is housed in a rugged weatherproof enclosure
that is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Constructed of heavy gauge aluminum, it is
designed for high temperature and corrosive environments. The AP can be mounted in a vertical or a
horizontal orientation.
The lid interior features a channeled gasket that provides environmental protection. The lid is secured to
the housing with retained stainless steel heavy duty screws. For maintenance purposes, the lid can be
opened (150 degree opening angle) for easy part replacement, or completely removed to provide
additional servicing options.
Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE)
A CAT5 PoE interface is used to split the Data and Power carried by a CAT5 cable to the internal
equipment. The interface includes Lightning Protection and support for normal and reverse polarity POE
equipment. To supply the required current to the equipment, the HyperLink BT-CAT5-P1-4848 power
supply and injector kit should be used. Cisco® PoE equipment requires substitution of a BT-CAT5-
P1R4848 kit to supply 48 volt reverse polarity. An optional PoE interface surge protector can be added
to add protection for a second CAT5 cable.
Lightning Protection
The PoE interface features built in lightning protection. This helps add an extra level of protection to PoE
equipment installed in the enclosure. In addition, the unit can accept up to two optional bulkhead-
mount N-Type lightning protectors to protect the coaxial cable runs. An additional PoE interface can be
purchased for use in the enclosure.
