Chapter 1 Overview
The ATLAS5010 is a point-to-point (PtP) wireless Ethernet transmission system provides network connectivity at speeds
up to 45 Mbps depending on the transmission distance, noise floor, and the antenna configuration. The Atlas5010 uses
OFDM technology and
is designed for use in long range backhaul and wide area data networking applications. The
Atlas system is comprised of the following items:
1) P5010M-INT (Configured as Master Unit with integrated 23 dBi panel antenna)
2) P5010M-INT (configured as Remote Unit with integrated 23 dBi panel antenna)
3) Two 24 Volt power adapters for use with 100 to 240 VAC, including various plug adapters
4) Two Power over Ethernet Junction Boxes
5) Port plug cover
6) Mounting
hardware
Key points about the system are it’s ability to operate in the new 5.47 to 5.725 GHz frequency band as well as the
5.25 to 5.35 and 5.725 to 5.85 GHz bands, allowing a large number of non overlapping channels to ease
installation. As of February 2005, however, the 5.47 – 5.725 GHz band is not yet approved for use in the United
States.
The Atlas5010-INT consists of two P5010M-INT units and uses a common hardware/firmware platform for each
end of the wireless link. Users are required to simply specify one unit type as master unit (MU) and one unit as
remote unit (RU). The hardware consists of a high gain dual polarization panel antenna with the radio portion
integrated into a cast aluminum case on the back of the antenna. The unit utilizes Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and is
designed for outdoor environments. The cable entry point can accommodate both Shielded twisted pair Cat5 (STP),
Unshielded twisted pair Cat5 (UTP), with the addition of conduit for tower mounting.
