Key Advantages
- Performance – The Access5830 delivers
lots of bandwidth at great distances. New customers
can be added to the network without any noticeable
hit on overall speed.
- Dependability – The Access5830 utilizes
direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) Technology. DSSS was invented years ago by the US military
as a secure, robust, and reliable means to
communicate across great distances. The same
characteristics of DSSS that worked well for the US
military, can work to the advantage of Nikola's
wireless network. DSSS is inherently
dependable, efficient, and secure.
- Manageability – The Access5830 was
designed to provide us with complete control
over our wireless network. All our radios feature
comprehensive management interfaces including
Telnet, HTTP, and SNMP built right into the radio.
We have full access to the radios to
monitor performance, optimize the network, add or
modify subscribers. Using SNMP, Nikola can be
alerted to any potential problem on their network.
- Ease of Installation – One of the most
important considerations for cost-containment is
ease of installation. In order to minimize
truck-rolls and the time that installers spend at
each new location, it is imperative that the
subscriber unit be easily and quickly installed. The
Access5830 was designed with this in mind. All of
the radios feature Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).
This means the entire radio is mounted outdoors — on
a pole, or on a wall. There are no power
connections, just one simple, snap-in connector to
the outdoor radio.
