Astra Evolution E5-BSIL
The Astra Evolution E5-BSIL is a high-performance 5 GHz outdoor base station sector designed for small-scale subscriber deployments. It features an integrated 16 dBi dual-polarized antenna with a 90x8 degree sector pattern, supporting up to five subscriber terminals over distances up to twenty kilometers.
The base station supports channel widths from ten to eighty megahertz and delivers up to seven hundred megabits per second of throughput in an eighty megahertz channel. MIMO 2x2 and OFDM technologies ensure efficient spectrum usage and reliable link performance even in dense environments.
Advanced radio features include automatic bitrate and transmit power control, dynamic distance learning, and configurable uplink and downlink ratios. Built-in spectrum analyzer and antenna alignment tools simplify installation and optimization, while DFS and radar detection maintain uninterrupted operation in shared spectrum bands.
Networking capabilities include Ethernet-over-IP and IP-over-IP tunnels, multipool NAT with H.323 support, VLAN and QoS management, and integration with Astra’s proprietary MINT protocol. Voice-aware traffic handling ensures low latency for real-time applications.
The unit provides a single Gigabit Ethernet interface and supports multiple power options, including AC, DC, and PoE. Management is available through web interface, SNMP, SSH, and Astra EMS NEXT for centralized monitoring and software updates.
Housed in a rugged, weatherproof IP66 and IP67-rated enclosure, the Evolution E5-BSIL ensures reliable operation in outdoor conditions and across wide temperature ranges. Its high-gain antenna, advanced radio technology, and flexible networking features make it ideal for small sector deployments and enterprise wireless access networks.
