The Astra Evolution E6-ST18 is an outdoor subscriber terminal designed for wireless access networks in the five and six gigahertz bands. Its integrated 18 dBi dual-polarized antenna features an 18x18 degree beam pattern, providing balanced coverage and reliable signal performance for medium-range connections up to ten kilometers.

Supporting channel widths from ten to eighty megahertz, the E6-ST18 delivers up to six hundred seventy megabits per second of throughput in an eighty megahertz channel. MIMO 2x2 and OFDM technologies ensure efficient spectrum usage and consistent link quality in a variety of deployment environments.

Advanced radio control features include automatic bitrate and transmit power adjustment, dynamic distance learning, and configurable uplink and downlink ratios. The built-in spectrum analyzer and antenna alignment tools simplify installation and fine-tuning. DFS and radar detection provide stable operation in shared spectrum conditions.

Networking capabilities include IP-over-IP and Ethernet-over-IP tunnels, multipool NAT, VLAN and QoS support, and integration with Astra’s proprietary MINT protocol. Voice-aware packet handling ensures low latency for real-time applications.

The terminal has a single Gigabit Ethernet interface and supports multiple power options, including AC, DC, and PoE. Management is available through web GUI, SNMP, SSH, and integration with Astra EMS NEXT for centralized monitoring and automated updates.

Encased in a weatherproof IP66 and IP67-rated enclosure, the Evolution E6-ST18 operates reliably in outdoor environments across a wide temperature range. With its integrated antenna, advanced radio technology, and flexible networking features, it is an ideal solution for medium-range subscriber links and enterprise wireless access networks.
