WBS-2400 & WBS-5800
& WBS-5000P
Outdoor Wi-Fi Base Station
Installation Guide
Rev. 7
March 2012

Note: To better reflect the value of Wavion products we are changing the name of our product
family from Access Points (AP) to Wireless Base Stations (WBS), consequently the existing WS-
410 product name will be changed to Wavion WBS-2400.
The new product name emphasizes the difference in architecture (Multiple Radio system) and
the value to customer, superiority in performance (coverage, capacity, indoor penetration and
immunity to interference) of Wavion WiFi base station over any other standard outdoor WiFi
access point products available in the market.
All references in Wavion's documentation to WS-410 refer also to the WBS-2400, and vice
versa. Both products are exactly the same except for the name change.

Introduction
WBS-2400/5800/5000P a high capacity, IP services oriented Broadband Wireless access system.
WBS-2400/5800/5000P is a new category of Broadband Wireless Base Station designed from
the ground up for metro-Wi-Fi deployments. The system employs wireless packet switched data
technology to support high-speed IP services including fast Internet and Virtual Private
Networks. WBS-2400/5800/5000P users are provided with a network connection that is always
on, supporting immediate access to the Internet and other IP services at high data rates. The
system is designed for cellular-like deployment, enabling the system architecture to vary in size
and structure. A system can include any number of cells, each containing several base station
access units for better coverage of densely populated areas.
It is based on six antennas and radios and custom-built ASICs, utilizes Wavion's powerful multi-
antenna signal processing technologies, and provides significant performance gains to off-the-
shelf 802.11 standards-based
The WBS-2400/5800/5000P may be mounted on streetlights or rooftops and may be
easily interfaced with wired internet connections, wireless mesh or backhaul equipment.
Complete management of the WBS-2400/5800/5000P is provided through SNMP, a
graphical user interface, and SYSLOG services.
