The LigoWave LigoDLB 5-15ac WLAN Bridge Set offers a powerful solution for wireless point-to-point connections over short distances. This set includes two LigoDLB 5-15ac units, which can be delivered unconfigured, pre-configured, or pre-configured with a firmware upgrade. The devices are based on 5 GHz / 802.11ac technology and feature an integrated 15 dBi panel directional antenna. With a range of up to 7 km and a data throughput of over 500 Mbps, this set is ideal for applications requiring high bandwidth over shorter distances.
The LigoWave LigoDLB 5-15ac is particularly suited for outdoor use due to its robust and weatherproof design (IP66). To achieve optimal performance, the two units should be installed in locations where they have a clear line of sight to each other. This ensures the best signal strength and a stable data connection. The integrated iPoll technology enhances connection efficiency and stability, even in environments with numerous wireless networks.
Compared to the LigoWave LigoDLB 5-20ac, which offers a longer range of up to 20 km and a more powerful 20 dBi panel directional antenna, the LigoDLB 5-15ac is optimized for shorter distances. While the 5-20ac is suited for applications requiring stable connections over larger distances, the 5-15ac excels at transmitting high data volumes over shorter distances with extremely high speeds. Both models are powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE), with the necessary PoE adapters included in the package.
New form factor
The shape of the enclosure is now smaller, lighter but retains the IP-65 weather protection rating. Smaller packaging reduces freight costs and makes them less obvious. The new design has no metal parts, which makes them lighter and corrosion resistant.
Powerful OS
The LigoDLB OS is a highly functional and easy to use operating system embedded in all LigoDLB hardware devices for effortless setup and trouble free operation. High performance (500 Mbps) allows offering more bandwidth together with additional services such as VoIP and IPTV. This is possible when using LigoWave’s smart QoS mechanism and multicast traffic enhancements for triple play services. Such services are essential for all next generation service providers to complement their existing portfolios. iPoll, LigoWave’s proprietary transmission protocol, ensures smooth performance with a high number of clients even in noisy environments
Integrated surge protection
3 kV line to ground and 1 kV line-to-line protection allows operating in a harsh weather conditions and unstable electrical installations.
Operating system
New operating system includes all the essential features for point-to-multipoint networks. User interface is built using HTML 5 technology with responsive design. Among the new features there are IPv6 bridge and router support, SSDP and Bonjour device discovery options, flexible traffic shaping and SSTP client.
iPoll 3 – enhanced performance protocol
LigoWave’s iPoll PTMP (Point to Multi-Point) proprietary protocol is an innovative solution to eliminate transmission congestion and close cluster interference created in PTMP wireless installations.
Highlights:- 500+ Mbps capacity
- High power (30 dBm) radio
- Proprietary protocol (iPoll)
- Zero loss design
- Integrated directional 15 dBi panel antenna
- Integrated surge protection
- Lightweight design
- Weather proof (IP-65 rated) design
- Free WNMS (WNMS – Wireless Network Management System)
- Responsive HTML 5 based GUI
Usage recommendation:- PTP mode (two LigoDLB 5-15ac devices): 7 km / 4.35 mi
- PTMP mode (DLB LigoDLB 5-15ac as a client device): 5 km / 3.11 mi
Maximum throughput: 500 MbpsHotspot scenario support
Starting from v7.52 Infinity firmware image can be used on a LigoDLB series devices for the outdoor hotspot and other related applications. After the firmware upgrade DLB devices are converted into access points for outdoor hotspot networks and will lose the functionality of point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connectivity.
WNMS
WNMS is a FREE enterprise grade Wireless Network Management System. A single software solution simplifies a large number of management and monitoring tasks for network administrators. LigoWave's comprehensive network management system supports several thousands of nodes. Multiple networks may be maintained and monitored using one server. A rich feature set helps to diagnose network problems effectively, visualize networks on a map, perform scheduled firmware upgrades automatically, track states of devices, get failure alerts, and collect statistics. The Web-based system environment supports multi-user accounts. Several administrators may manage different networks on the same server, without having access to each other’s equipment. WNMS is available as a stand-alone version for Linux and Windows servers, as a cloud-based system and as a mobile application for Android devices.
