Key Features⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Astra Quasar is a wireless point-to-point solution with an impressive maximal performance of up to 2,1 Gbps, a packet perfomance is up to 500 000 pps.

Astra Quasar operates in frequency range from 4900 MHz to 6060 MHz for QSR5, from 6000 MHz to 7100 MHz for QSR6 and supports the channel width 20, 40, 80, 160 MHz.

Radio

  • Automatic Modulation Control (AMC) – modulation control algorithm selects the most appropriate modulation-coding scheme in order to maximize the link performance.

  • Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) – a technology which enables packet re-transmission in case of previous unsuccessful delivery, allows to achieve reliable connectivity even in highly congested spectrum.

  • Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) – a technology which allows to extend the life of devices and optimize energy consumption.

  • Automatic range detection - the guard interval optimal for the actual distance is automatically determined.

Networking*

  • MAC/IP filtering.

  • RIPv2 / OSPFv2 /static routing.

  • Tunneling (Ethernet‑over‑IP, IP‑over‑IP).

  • L2/L3 Firewall.

  • NAT (multipool, H.323‑aware).

  • DHCP client/server/relay.

  • Stacked VLAN support (Q-in-Q) avoids the limitation in the number of available VLANs (4096), which can be useful for large networks. In addition, Q-in-Q allows you to organize L2 channels within a limited VLAN list, which is widely used in provider networks and on leased communication channels.

Quality of Service*

  • 17 priority queues.

  • IEEE 802.1p support.

  • IP TOS / DiffServ support.

  • Full voice support.

  • Traffic limiting (absolute, relative, mixed).

  • Traffic redirection.

Environment

  • Operating temperature range -40 ... +60 ºС, in arctic edition: -55 ... +60 ºС.

  • Dust and water protection in compliance with IP66/IP67.

  • Wind load up to 160 kph - operation, 200 kph - survival.

Power

The device has following electrical parameters:

  • Consumption is up to 20 W.

  • Power options: 110-240 VAC~ @ 50/60 Hz, ±43..56 VDC.

  • 802.3at support or proprietary passive PoE.

  • AC/DC injector: IDU-CPE-G(24W) is included to the packing list.
