Access5830™ User Manual

Welcome!
Your Trango Broadband Access5830 radio system provides the latest innovations in high speed fixed
wireless broadband. The Access 5830 is a point-to-multipoint (PMP) system which provides network
connectivity at speeds up to 10 Mbps with a range of 10 miles or beyond depending on antenna
configuration. The Access5830 is unique in that it can operate in either the 5.8 GHz ISM band or the 5.3
GHz U-NII band.
The Access5830 system consists of two types of radios: Access Points (AP) and Subscriber Units (SU).
The AP will deliver wireless broadband service to one or more SU’s according to a proprietary polling
algorithm called SMARTPolling™. Each AP can associate with and deliver service to up to 512 SU’s.
With careful channel planning, (and adequate spacing and shielding) network operators can co-locate up to
22 AP’s at a single cell site.
The AP and SU conform to maximum radiated power limits as established by the FCC.
Band
AP Max EIRP
Approximate max range (AP to SU)
5.8 GHz ISM Band
36 dBm
6 Miles (allowing for 10 dB fade margin)
5.3 GHz U-NII Band
30 dBm
2 Miles (allowing for 10 dB fade margin)
In this document and within the radio configuration itself, the designators of “ISM” and “U-NII” are used
to distinguish between the two bands.
Getting to Know Your Radio

Each Access 5830 radio comes equipped with the radio itself, a power-over-Ethernet (POE) J-Box, an AC
adapter, and mounting hardware. The Access5830 AP (part # M5830S-AP-60) also comes with a serial
programming cable. Dual-polarized internal antennas are included within the radome of the AP and the
short range SU (Part #M5830S-SU).
