LigoDLB Propeller 5, 5 Ghz, MIMO, rotatory antenna 15 dBi

The DLB Propeller 5 is a new generation wireless device designed for client and small scale base-station applications. This product is equipped with a MIMO radio (up to 28 dBm) and 15 dBi dual-polarized antenna which make the device ideal for short to medium range wireless communication. The DLB Propeller 5 uses an advanced and feature-rich operating system which supports bridge/router and repeater modes.

The Propeller devices from LigoWave have a unique antenna characteristic changing mechanism for simple vertical or horizontal orientation based on the use case of the device. It is recommended to assemble the propeller in a horizontal position for a client mode. This ensures easy antenna alignment when installing the device without a need to tilt it upwards or downwards, the signal of the base station is received better and noise coming from the surrounding devices is lower. When a Propeller is assembled in a vertical position the antenna characteristics switch. This antenna orientation is better for
the access point mode, where wider area coverage is necessary. Propellers can be used as WI-FI hotspot APs in outdoor networks when the device is assembled vertically and the Infinity series software version is loaded.

New Hardware platform

Powerful new generation CPU ensures better performance delivering higher up to 170 Mbps capacity and almost 2 X higher packet per second rate (80000). Narrow (5 and 10 MHz) channel support ensures steady performance in noisy environments. More RAM improves the performance with multiple users connected to a single base-station and larger flash stores a 2nd failover firmware image.

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.

New OS

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. New generation DLB devices are backwards compatible with APC series from Deliberant even when using iPoll protocol. In order to achieve this a new firmware image has to be installed on all APC devices (v7.0 or later).

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.
