DLB MACH 5
The DLB MACH 5 is a 5 GHz point-to-point product with superior performance for building long distance links. This
product is equipped with an extreme output power (up to 29 dBm) 802.11n radio that was created with a unique
hardware design and coupled with a reliable, feature-rich operating system. This device also has a robust, IP-67
compliant enclosure which is combined with a high-gain dual-polarized panel antenna. The DLB MACH 5 is generally
designed for PTP applications, but can also act as a high-end client device.
Smart dynamic polling based protocol (iPoll 2) ensures reliable communication even in congested areas with 64 client
devices connected to a base-station.
Equipped with LigoWave’s dual fi rmware image feature, remote software upgrades are assured even if a power failure
interrupts the process. The device will restart using the prior fi rmware in the event of an upgrade failure.
The enclosure is made of die-cast aluminum to provide years of outdoor exposure in direct sunlight and survive harsh
weather conditions. Environmentally tested to meet an IP-67 rating as well as vibration, temperature, drop, salt, fog, and
electrical surge standards to ensure a high level of reliability and backed by a two-year warranty. It is equipped with a
grounding lug and a grounded 24-volt PoE to allow a professional installation, resistant to electrical surges.

OS
The DLB OS is a highly functional and easy to use
operating system. This powerful and fl exible operating
system ensures fl awless operation of all DLB hardware
devices and effortless setup for those deploying the
networks.
• Smart polling data transmission protocol (iPoll 2)
• Dual-fi rmware image support
• Responsive HTML 5 based GUI
• 170 Mbps capacity
• 80,000 PPS rate
• IPv6 support
• WNMS compatible

WNMS
WNMS is a FREE enterprise grade Wireless Network
CLOU D Management System. A single software solution simplifi es
a large number of management and monitoring tasks
for network administrators. LigoWave’s comprehensive
network management system supports several thousands
of nodes. Multiple networks may be maintained and
monitored using one server. A rich feature set helps to
diagnose network problems effectively, visualize networks
on a map, perform scheduled fi rmware upgrades
automatically, track states of devices, get failure alerts,
and collect statistics. The Web-based system environment
supports multi-user accounts. Several administrators may
manage different networks on the same server, without
having access to each other’s equipment. WNMS is
available as a stand-alone version for Linux and Windows
servers, as a cloud-based system and as a mobile
application for Android devices.
