The Tenda B6 Outdoor 5GHz WiFi 4 Point-To-Multi-Point PtMP Link Base Station is designed for PtP and PtMP solutions for rural wireless connectivity and CCTV surveillance. The two (2) RP-SMA antennas connectors enable it to pair with dish antenna or sector antenna (sold separately) to establish PtP backhaul connection and P2MP link. It adopts TD-MAX – Tenda’s TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) proprietary protocol – to improve performance and capacity. The auto-bridging technology makes it easy to setup for both business and home users.

TD-MAX – Tenda’s TDMA Proprietary Protocol
TD-MAX is Tenda’s TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) proprietary protocol to improve performance and capacity for wireless WISP outdoor application scenarios. In outdoor enviroments, the CPE uses highly directional antennas to connect to the basestation from distances that can span several kilometres. The CPEs can’t sense each other; they become “hidden nodes” and cannot coordinate access to the wireless channel. As a result, the basestation experiences frequent collisions from stations transmitting simultaneously. As the network scales, these collisions build up exponentially, increasing latency and lowering throughput. TD-MAX coordinates all the data transmissions and allocates time to active clients to provide greater noise immunity performance when compared to the conventional 802.11 CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) protocol.
