8x8 MIMO Technology
 Boosts performance – Altai has developed an advanced smart antenna technology that
is part of its Super WiFi base station family and boosts the performance of any standard
WiFi client
 Unique design – Altai’s patented smart antenna technology relies on a uniquely
structured 8-element antenna array and a proprietary signal processing algorithm
 Smart antenna – The user signal information is received through all the 8 antenna elements
in the array, much higher in antenna diversity
 Smart signal processing – The smart antenna technology processes the signal in real time
and forms and focuses a high-gain beam toward the WiFi client
 Super antenna diversity – In addition, it employs a signal phase alignment to obtain
angular diversity – based on its 8-antenna array and its multiple independent radios
 Better link budget – The powerful 8-antenna array also empowers the 8x8 MIMO signal
processer that is part of Altai’s base stations, providing further signal gain in both the
uplink and downlink
www.altaitechnologies.com
Benefits of 8x8 MIMO
 Super coverage – Altai smart antenna technology gives standard WiFi
clients much longer ranges, more uniform area coverage, and the best
indoor penetration
 Super capacity – Altai’s 8x8 MIMO technology provides 5 times the
median throughput than the standard 3x3 MIMO in complicated NLOS
environments
 Super efficiency – Altai AirFi improves WiFi cell efficiency with smart WiFibased throughput optimization by a factor of 2, even with a large number
of concurrent connections
www.altaitechnologies.com
Super Coverage
 The 8x8 MIMO technologies provide the following advantages
 5 to 10 times larger in coverage, as compared to standard 3x3 MIMO AP in the market
 Dynamic beam directing towards the WiFi client, which increases the link gain by at least 14
dB, as compared to a standard access point
 Directed beam towards the user suppresses interference coming from all other directions
A8n series cover almost identical 3G/4G cell
3G/LTE
Cell
www.altaitechnologies.com
Super WiFi Capacity
 Altai uses two different technologies concurrently, increasing its WiFi base
station capacity by a factor of 10:
 Altai’s patented smart antenna technology – higher antenna diversity supports stronger the signal
strength and hence throughput at distance, improving the median throughput by a factor of 5
 Altai’s AirFi technology – a throughput optimization algorithm implemented at the WiFi layer,
increasing its average efficiency and capacity by a factor of 2 and more

Benefits of Super WiFi 3G Offload by Co-location
 5 to 10 times coverage – using 8x8 MIMO smart antenna technology, as
compared to most 3x3 MIMO in the market
 Installation is possible in limited space – as close as 0.5 m to the 3G/4G
antennas is possible when the installation space of mobile site is limited
 Super interference immunity – even installed at close proximity to 3G/4G
antennas, no gradation to both the cellular and WiFi equipment; whereas
most others in the market require at least 10 m separation
 Fast deployment – just plug-and-play; much less site acquisition, setup and
radio planning works; pay as you grow
 10 times capacity – the smart antenna technologies improve the median
throughput by 5X, and the Altai AirFi optimizes the average throughput by
2X
 Lowest TCO – as low as 30% of investment as compared to using standard
AP; only 10% of site requirement, but 10X faster time-to-market deployment
www.altaitechnologies.com
TCO Cost Analysis
 Top two cost elements, Site and Backhaul costs, added up to 58% of TCO
 Altai 3G offload by co-location can lower these costs significantly
 Savings in CAPEX and OPEX – including site acquisition, site set up, radio
planning, site facilities reuse e.g. site rental, backhaul and power supply
www.altaitechnologies.com
TCO Cost Analysis
 Using Altai Super WiFi co-location can reduce the cost for every cost element
 Saving in TCO total cost of ownership could be up to 68%!

Benefits of Super WiFi in Wireless Broadband
 Broadest coverage – using A8n series for large coverage supports up to 1.7
km in range, extendable to 4 km with a C1n (2.4G) or C1an (5G) CPE
 Lowest cost of deployment – traditional Internet access provisioning by
copper wire or fiber is cost prohibitive in sparsely populated rural areas. The
wireless access equivalent using A8n-C1n is a very cost effective solution
to deploy wireless broadband in rural areas
 Short deployment time – while traditional fiber takes months to deploy,
wireless access just need a few days; and you need to pay as you grow
 High bandwidth broadband – with the use of a pair C1an for PTP bridge,
service provider can offer high speed broadband for commercial users up
to 120 Mbps download and upload per PTP link
 Support mobile users and travelers – beside residential and commercial
users, the same WiFi network can also serve mobile users and travelers,
who can subscribe the WiFi service on needed basis by means of prepaid
card

Benefits of Super WiFi in Private Networks
 Both outdoor and indoor coverage – many private networks require not
only indoor but large outdoor coverage in one network, e.g. airport,
container port, university campus, manufacturing plant and resort etc.
 When other WiFi doesn’t work for you – the Altai Super WiFi can perform
extraordinarily good in NLOS environments that are blocked by metallic
stuffs, e.g. quay cranes and container stacks in container ports, hangars
and cockpit in airport MRO, machineries in manufacturing plants etc.
Custom made enclosures for hazardous and explosive proof environment
 Backhaul resilience – A8n can provide backhaul redundancy and failover
switching and recovery for mission critical applications e.g. contain port,
airport, logistics etc.
 High bandwidth surveillance – the C1an can be used as low cost PTP
bridge which supports high definition surveillance up to 100 Mbps
 Boost up production efficiency – many production systems already support
WiFi terminals; A8n or A2 can be used to build the wireless network in
different scales to improve the efficiency and convenience of production
system such as WIP, RFID and bar code etc.

Kunming Municipality, CRIntermodal
 Location: Kunming, Yunnan, China
 Application: Private network – railway terminal logistics
operations
 Product: A8 and A2 series
 Quote: “We are completely satisfied with the system’s stability
throughout the use in the last year. We are planning to upgrade
the existing system using Altai for the other railway terminals.”
 Challenge: Severe signal loss and interference, large
area coverage 100% of the 800,000 m2 but at minimal
cost
 Solution: Using A8 which provides 10 times in area and 5
times in median throughput and therefore minimize the
cost. A2 provides a low cost supplement for filling
coverage holes
 Result:
 Significantly larger coverage and higher throughput
capacity than the Cisco access points they used before
 Fewer base stations are required per square kilometer
 Operating well in high interference environment without
degradation
 Now has wireless coverage across the whole terminal. Staff
can access wireless internet using their handheld terminals
in every corner of the site
 The accuracy and efficiency of daily operations at the
Kunming Terminal is highly improved
