C1n back to back diagram
Altai Super WiFi
Altai Super WiFi
C1n back to back is that one C1n work as CPE (station) mode to
connect to the A8n/A8-Ein which maybe far away, then other C1n
which will work as AP connect to the C1n CPE via Ethernet cable and
PoE adaptor provide the WiFi for the area where the A8n/A8-Ein can
not cover.

Channel Usage
Altai Super WiFi
Altai Super WiFi
How to find out
- From A8Ein Channel Usage Statistic
Continuous high channel usage (>90%) leads to low
user throughput, high latency.
The channel usage is by AP itself or other AP.
- AP itself -> capacity issue
- Other AP -> channel usage issue

Solution
- Change the frequency
- Adjust antenna direction, tilt or height to limit the
exposure of antenna from of AP traffic

Altai Super WiFi
Solution
- Adding new sites
- Adding new A8Ein in the same site
- With smaller coverage and focus on high user
density area
- AirFi
- It will increase the overall base station
throughput but not making every client happy

Noise and Interference
Altai Super WiFi
Altai Super WiFi
2.4GHz is sharing band
Noise level increase as number of WiFi AP and
client increase. No particular source.
Interference is coming from particular source, e.g.
high power transmitter (non-standard compliance
device)

Interference
Altai Super WiFi
Altai Super WiFi
• Interference is coming from particular source, e.g. high
power transmitter (non-standard compliance device)
• Interference is very rare case. Nearly all cases in
undeveloped countries that many high power nonstandard compliance transmitter existed.
• Need to find out the interference source to eliminate or
avoid it.
• Handheld spectrum analyzer to locate the source.

Interference - Solutions
Altai Super WiFi
Altai Super WiFi
Illegal transmitter or malfunction transmitter
- ask the owner to turn it off and fix it
Interference source cannot b eliminated -> avoid it
• turn AP antenna direction back to the interface
source
• metal grid between AP antenna and interference
source
• Move the antenna sites to other location
