WiFi no longer an idle speculation but an evolution of last mile wireless technology operating in the unlicensed frequency spectrum. To say that WiFi technology is unable to achieve large scale coverage, Quality-of-Service (QoS) and therefore limited in providing mobility as depicted by traditional APs (SOHO WiFi Equipment) is a thing of the past. Altai carrier class equipment can operate in the same class as the GSM cellular base stations which can perform in harsh outdoor weather conditions.
The Altai carrier class equipment has a larger uplink gain (>16 db) thus giving it much better ability to listen to low powered client devices. This last mile carrier class equipment has characteristics that make it retain system robustness, scalability, performance in an unlicensed frequency spectrum (2.4GHz Access and 5.8GHz Backhaul), large scale coverage because of backhaul switching and client association switching as well as its ability to be managed. Therefore it is befitting to classify the Altai equipment as a WiFi Cellular System.
