1Product Overview
DS-3WF03C is a powerful WiFi Bridge/AP device, which allows WiFi access and
video/audio/data transmission device, enables long-range, fast speed and robust
wireless connections.DS-3WF03C has the advantages of long-distance,
high-throughput, and between point-to-multi-point performance.
XTrans technologies include TDMA, 5M/10M/20M/40MHz bandwidth, intelligent
rate control, Auto ACK Time-Out Adjust and so on. TDMA technology solves the
problems of hidden-node problem in the 802.11 network. 5M/10M/20M/40MHz
bandwidth can be flexibly configured by the uses in different working scenario to
achieve the best link quality. Intelligent rate control algorithm can be adapted to
quick channel quality variations automatically, thus stabilizing the wireless
throughput. ACK Time-Out Auto Adjust can automatically detect the distances of
the DS-3WF03C devices, and thus adjust the wireless parameters to achieve the
best wireless link quality.
The Best transmission range and max speed of DS-3WF03C can be 0~3Km and
300Mbps, making it suitable for many applications of WiFi Bridge/AP, especially
have advantages for point-to-multi-point communication.
1.1 Product Advantages
The DS-3WF03C has the industrial leading technology, owing the performance
capability of a wireless base station with only a small form factor, furthermore, it
has very attractive low cost.
DS-3WF03C has the following advantages compared to the competitors:
1. Embedded Xtrans technology
DS-3WF03C devices is embedded with Xtrans technology, including TDMA,
5/10/20/40MHz bandwidth, intelligent rate control, Auto ACK Time-out adjust. It
makes the device have longer transmission distance, higher throughput and better
point-to-multi-point performance.
2. Longer transmission distance, higher throughput
The longest transmission distance of DS-3WF03C can be as far as 10 km, and the
max throughput can be 300Mbps. At 3km and 5km, the throughput can be as high
as 60Mbps and 40Mbps, which satisfy the needs of most of the applications.

DS-3WF03C User Manual

3. Embedded hardware watchdog
DS-3WF03C is embedded with hardware watchdog, which is used to monitor the
working status of the device. Once the system is not working properly, the
DS-3WF03C device can be rebooted to guarantee the stability of the system.
4. Software Ping watchdog function
DS-3WF03C software ping watchdog function enable the device periodically ping
another device associated to, so that it can detect if the system is working well. If
the wireless link is lost or there is any problem, the device is rebooted. This is
important because the devices can be restored to work automatically if there is
any problem, and avoid the extra human labour to maintain the outdoor devices.
5. More Non-standard channels availability
Currently most of the WiFi devices are working at standard 802.11 5.8GHz
frequency. However, standard 802.11 5.8GHz only provide limited channels, and
there is serious interference if there are a lot of 5.8G WiFi devices nearby.
DS-3WF03C support more channels near 5.8GHz band, and spread the band to
non-standard frequency part: 5745MHz-5825MHz (4920MHz-6100MHz) 。The
advantage of working at the non-standard band is to avoid the interference in the
standard channels, and the wireless throughput can be improved.
Note: Please confirm whether those non-standard channels are permitted locally
before using them.
6. Outdoor industrial product
DS-3WF03C device can work at all kinds of outdoor severe environments,
including -30 to 75 degree temperature, 5% to 95% humidity, while maintain good
performance.
