The Astra Quasar Qsr5-E is an outdoor point-to-point wireless system designed for high-capacity and stable data transmission in the five gigahertz frequency range. It supports wide channel bandwidths and high throughput, enabling efficient gigabit backhaul connections over distances of up to fifty kilometers when used with suitable external antennas.

Equipped with dual N-type connectors, the Quasar Qsr5-E allows flexible integration with a variety of external antennas to meet specific coverage and performance requirements. The device is built on MIMO and OFDM technologies and supports advanced modulation up to QAM 4096. Features such as automatic transmit power control, adaptive bitrate adjustment, and real-time channel analysis help maintain strong and consistent links even in challenging environments.

Networking functions include VLAN and QoS support, a full Layer-2 switch, and compatibility with the proprietary MINT protocol for efficient traffic management. The unit provides both Gigabit Ethernet and SFP interfaces, along with versatile power options including AC, DC, and PoE.

The Quasar Qsr5-E is designed for reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions, meeting IP66 and IP67 protection standards and withstanding a wide temperature range, high humidity, and strong wind loads.

Management and configuration are simplified through a web interface, SSH access, SNMP monitoring, and integration with Astra’s EMS NEXT system for remote supervision and automatic software updates. Combining flexibility, performance, and resilience, the Astra Quasar Qsr5-E is an ideal choice for long-range, high-capacity wireless links in professional network infrastructures.
