  4. Software Features • Spectrum & Standard: Support 5GHz/4.9GHz/2.4GHz/900MHz spectrum and OFDM IEEE 802.11b/g • QoS: IEEE 802.11e prioritized traffic control (WMM) provides quality of service for voice or video traffic • Multiple SSID: Support up to 16 independently configurable Multiple SSIDs with VLAN tag, able to create multiple independent secure networks serviced simultaneously. • VLAN: Support IEEE 802.1q VLAN Tags fully compatible with 3rd party standard equipments • Remote Firmware: Smart Firmware Update – Update the entire mesh nodes with a single commend • Fault Tolerance: Always Connect Protocol ensure every nodes on the mesh network is reachable and manageable • Redundancy: Auto Failover Protocol create system redundancy for critical mesh link • SNMP: Support SNMP v2c/v3, and private MIB • Mesh Routing: Mesh nodes auto-discover, and self-healing mesh for network optimization • Security: Support 128bit WPA/WPA-2 AES encryption, and legacy 64 bit WEP security • Network Management: Single IP Mesh Network Management • Point-to-Point Device Deployment Tools: Remote Antenna Locator (RAL) - Real time HTML GUI indicator detect remote antenna, and Signal Strength Tuner (SST)- Fine tuning Antenna position to maximize node-to-node signal quality • User Adjustable Tx Power: Optimizing node-to-node RF quality • Interoperability: Seamless interoperability with the 802.11 b/g clients

  5. Complete Mesh Routing Technology Self-sustain, Auto-configuration, and Auto-healing Internet Internet Fault Tolerance and Redundancy Bandwidth & Load Balance Score: 5 Score: 5 Score: 8 Score: 5

  6. High Hop Count Performance • Switched Wireless Mesh performance is 5-20 times better than Type 1 Mesh (e.g. TROPOS, cisco, firetide) and Type 2 Mesh (e.g. Nortel) • High hop count capability means significantly • increases coverage area per mesh network • reduces installation cost • simplifies network management (Mbps) (Hop Count) Throughput (Mbps)

  7. 2nd Hop 34Mbps 3rd Hop 32Mbps 4th Hop 30Mbps 5th Hop 29Mbps Performance Test Result Server Client 2nd Hop 34Mbps 3rd Hop 32Mbps 4th Hop 30Mbps 5th Hop 29Mbps Test results are not under optimal scenario due of some 5.8GHz interference in the environment.

  8. Network Management Features • Single IP address for entire mesh network • Http Web-server for configuration, topology, GPS, and management • Individual Node based TX/RX packet counter, User list, MAC based filtering • Routing channel selection and assignment • Mesh Network Site survey to scan all available Nodes In Progress Feature • NMS Server management system • Google Map and custom map based topology • Statistic data monitoring: (packet, byte, error counters, and link speed • User based Node location tracking and traffic count • Alarm based on node health check, mesh routing change, and statistic counter • Consider licensing Cognio spectrum analyzer

  11. Wireless Bridging ApplicationPoint-to-Point and Point-to-multipoint In a point-to-point bridging scenario, a MB2600 or MA3100 Series can be used to extend a network distance by using high gain directional antennas Point-to-multipoint Point-to-point MA3100 Mesh Manager 2.4GHz MB2600/ MA3100 5GHz MA3100 ~km @54Mbps* Internet 5GHz 5GHz Rural Area MA3100 5GHz 5GHz Mesh Station 2.4GHz High Gain Directional Antenna MA3100 (Manual Mode) * For detail of Tx Power, Antenna, and Distance, check the RF Table on Slide 6

  12. Fault-tolerancePoint-to-point Bridging Application Fault-tolerance is critical under the point-to-point bridging scenario. Multiple MeshAP Managers and Stations could be setup to backup the vital link between the link. 1 Mesh Manager MB2600/MA3100 Broken Link 5GHz 5GHz RJ-45 Internet Backup Link Ethernet (RJ-45) Mesh Station MA3100 (Manual Mode) 2 Mesh Manager High Gain Directional Antenna MB2600/MA3100
