Proxim’s MeshMAX™ product line integrates three technologies, WiMAX, Wi-Fi® Mesh and Wi-Fi, in one small unit! MeshMAX is a tri-radio, outdoor device offering Wi-Fi connectivity for access, Wi-Fi mesh gateway for network redundancy and a high capacity, carrier-class WiMAX link for backhaul. The convergence of these three technologies in one unit delivers end-to-end QoS for triple-play applications, a reduction in total cost of ownership and investment protection for future developments in WiMAX!
Experienced in WiMAX and Wi-Fi Applications
Drawing on Proxim’s expertise in WiMAX and Wi-Fi Mesh Technologies, the MeshMAX product line encapsulates the best in class features of the award-winning Tsunami WiMAX and ORiNOCO mesh product families. Proxim is uniquely positioned to offer this leading-edge product given our extensive experience in delivering Wi-Fi and WiMAX solutions.
End to end product portfolio consisting of WLAN, Wi-Fi Mesh, WiMAX and Point-to-Point Tri-radio design provides one radio for WiMAX backhaul for distribution, one radio for Wi-Fi mesh link and one radio for exclusive Wi-Fi access traffic End-to-end QoS from access to distribution to support voice and video IEEE 802.11e draft QoS support for access and enhanced QoS on mesh link IEEE 802.16e QoS support for WiMAX wireless backhaul link 802.1D to 802.1p priority mapping and 802.1D to IP DSCP mapping Simplifies Network Architecture, Deployment and Management
