Rubber-Tyred Gantry (RTG) is an important type of container handling machinery in container ports, which operates in the container stacking areas to load/unload containers to/from trucks. Currently most RTGs are manually operated by an on-board driver. But unmanned automated RTG operation has also been increasingly demanded for its greater productivity, better safety, and long-term cost-savings.

The use of 8×8 MIMO patented smart antenna technologies, which is technologically leading in the market, provides this distinctive throughput performance advantage. The benefits, unique features and technologies of the A8n series are explained in detail in this white paper.

Altai uses two different technologies concurrently, namely the smart antenna technologies and the AirFi technology, to increase its WiFi base station capacity by a factor of 10. Further, the smart antenna technologies also provide better interference mitigation which in return will further enhance the user capacity. This white paper will explain in more detail on the technologies.

With the surge of mobile data traffic from Internet-based applications, traffic loads on cellular networks has increased tremendously over the past few years. To deal with the high data traffic in urban areas, the cellular operators used to split the existing cellular macrocells into a variety of small cells to increase the network capacity. However, Altai has a better solution in improving the throughput capacity by co-locating the Altai WiFi Macrocells to the existing cellular sites. This can easily turn a 3G network into a 3G+WiFi network.

The use of WiFi network is becoming a trend and more people are using WiFi to access to internet. Although using WiFi is convenient, without proper coordination between service operators, it is possible that leading to the mutual interference between service operators. Therefore, minimizing interference is necessary in order to ensure the stability of WiFi service. In this paper, Altai will propose a number of guidelines that can minimize the interference between multiple WiFi networks that are deployed in the same place.

One of the most difficult problems a service provider may encounter during planning for their broadband service provisioning in rural areas is a sparsely distributed population over a large area and the deployment of wired Internet access is prohibitively high if not impossible. This white paper will show how the Altai A8n series and C1n can be deployed for rural broadband service using its patented wireless technologies to achieve an economical, scalable and reliable wireless coverage over a long range.

When comparing with a standard AP, the A8n Super WiFi base station provides on average three times the range, two to four times the throughput, three times the user capacity, ten times the coverage area and significant improvements with interference mitigation. This white paper will explain the reasons behind by using link budget analysis.
