Arrow. Span Wireless Mesh Network Solutions Ü Complete Indoor/Outdoor product line covers full range

Arrow. Span Wireless Mesh Network Solutions Ü Complete Indoor/Outdoor product line covers full range of mesh network applications for hot zones, campuses, municipalities, warehousing, enterprise offices, small offices, and home deployments Ü Patent Pending Layer 2. 5 design architecture provides maximum compatibility and user friendly functions Ü Patent Pending POP mesh routing algorithm provides high performance and reliable solutions: Auto-configuration, Auto-discovery, Auto-healing, Auto-balancing Ü Multiple wireless RF design minimizes or eliminates signal interference problems on backhaul and user data wireless networks Ü GPS: Provides physical location of each Mesh. AP and simplifies the maintenance task Ü Single IP Setup for one mesh network (regardless node number). This setup minimizes the complicated IP address setup for each node on the mesh network

Software Features Ü Support up-to 16 SSIDs and VLANs with Single Point Propagation -

Software Features Ü Support up-to 16 SSIDs and VLANs with Single Point Propagation - Single point propagation easily sets the entire mesh network with an identical SSID/VLAN set for each node on the mesh network via Mesh Manager node. Ü Support Https/Http - Allows GUI access via both “Http” and “Https” to enhance network management security. Ü User Controllable Tx Output Power for 5 GHz Radios (Optional) - Add the ability for administrators to adjust Tx Output power for the 5 GHz radios. Ü Enable/Disable RTS/CTS Mode - RTS/CTS mode improves throughput in high collision environment caused by hidden terminals. Ü Always Connect – Every Node on the Mesh Network will be Reachable Intelligent protocol enables each node to associate with another node even under noisy environmental conditions. Throughput may be reduced to assure node can be reached remotely. Ü Diagnostic Tool to Display Link Speed, SNR, Noise, and Error Rate - Newly added Diagnostic page allows Administrators to analyze each link’s Link Speed, Signal Noise Ratio, Noise, and Error Rate. Ü Smart Remote Firmware Update with Single Point Propagation - Enable firmware updates to all nodes on the mesh network via Mesh Manager unit. Once the Mesh Manager is updated with the new firmware: the new, updated firmware will propagate to every node on the mesh network. Ü Backup Link Redundancy for Manual Mode - Enhances the reliability of the Manual mode connection by allowing two uplinks to be selected. (This feature also enables a backup link in the Point-to-point setting.
