Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 11
1.1 Introduction
The Tsunami QuickBridge 8100 is a wireless point-to-point device designed to provide wireless networking solutions for
enterprises and small business markets. Two pre-configured bridges enable users to easily, quickly, and economically install a
wireless extension between two locations, eliminating the need for costly leased line or cable alternatives.
The product’s primary components are a wireless device and a Power-over-Ethernet injector. The wireless device, which is
encased in an outdoor rated weatherproof container, has an integrated antenna or external antenna connectors and can be
mounted to the side of a building, on a pole, or on a tower structure.
Power and Ethernet connections must be supplied through a UV-protected CAT5 cable (not supplied) attached to a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector. The PoE injector should be located either in an outdoor rated weatherproof enclosure
located near the device or inside a building. The device can then be connected to a switch or hub on your network or directly
to a PC.
Some of the key features of the QuickBridge 8100 series include:
• High power 2x2 MIMO radio
• Highly optimized WORP (Wireless Outdoor Routing Protocol) for outdoor applications
• Asymmetric bandwidth management
• Management through a Web Interface, a Command Line Interface (CLI), or Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP)
• Software and configuration upgrade through HTTP/TFTP file transfer
• Outdoor placement for significantly improved range and ease of installation
• 5 GHz 2x2 MIMO integrated antenna versions for flexible deployment
• VLAN Support
• QoS based on IEEE 802.16e
