Tenda O4 AC867 Outdoor CPE – Gigabit PoE Unit for Long-Range 5 GHz Links

A reliable outdoor wireless bridge is offered by the Tenda O4, which is designed to deliver fast 5 GHz AC867 connectivity in harsh conditions. With its 12 dBi directional antenna and Gigabit Ethernet port, strong wireless performance is enabled over significant distances while wired devices maintain full speed. The IP65-rated housing ensures that rain, dust and strong sunlight do not degrade signal or hardware, while built-in surge protection increases durability under electric storm conditions.

Setup is carried out without much effort: power and data can be provided over a single cable through PoE, and mounting is supported on poles or walls. The O4 is operated in flexible modes—Station, Access Point or Bridge—so that it can be deployed for backhaul links, CPE for remote locations, or extending a WiFi network where running Ethernet is impractical. Performance remains steady even under interference thanks to its strong gain antenna and proper signal tuning.

Key Features and Explanations

• AC-867 Dual-Band (5 GHz) Throughput: Wireless speed is maximized using the 5 GHz AC standard, which avoids many interference issues that plague 2.4 GHz bands.

• 12 dBi Directional Antenna: Signal is focused in one direction to increase range and reduce loss over distances.

• Gigabit Ethernet Port + PoE Support: A single Ethernet cable carries both data and power, enabling easier outdoor deployments without extra power infrastructure.

• Weatherproof Construction & Surge Protection: IP65 rating protects against water and dust ingress, while lightning protection helps maintain system reliability.

• Flexible Operating Modes: AP, Station, or Bridge modes allow deployment in multiple scenarios—ranging from linking two buildings to creating remote WiFi access points.
