The Access Node 80i system is manufactured by Redline Communications -- a world
leader in design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) systems.
Figure 1: Intro - AN-80i Components
The AN-80i is a high-performance, high-speed wireless Ethernet bridge for use in a
commercial, industrial, business, or government environment. The system can operate
with a 3.3-3.8, 4.9, 5.3/5.4, or 5.8 GHz radio (factory installed) using a time division
duplexing (TDD) RF transceiver to transmit and receive on the same RF channel. The
main AN-80i features include: advanced technologies to address inter-cell interference,
enhanced security features through a proprietary over-the-air encryption scheme, and
Automatic Transmitter Power Control (ATPC) to automatically achieve and maintain
optimum performance.
The AN-80i outdoor unit is housed in a weatherproof aluminum alloy case. The outdoor
unit can be used with a selection of available external antennas. When equipped with a
narrow beam antenna, the AN-80i supports long-range operations of over 50 miles (80
km) in clear line of sight (LOS) conditions. An indoor PoE power adapter provides
operational power for the AN-80i and connection to the Ethernet network.
