Inside the ABG MESH is a high performance Intel Xscale Processor working with 2 Dual Band 802.11a/b/g RF modules.  One RF radio is set to AP mode while the other radio is set to bridge mode, each radio have their own set of antenna connectors.  This means you can choose to let the AP provide service in 2.4GHz or 5GHz spectrum, while the bridge radios maintain links to the remote MESH network.

What good does an advanced outdoor AP do if it doesn't stand up to the temperature and environment challenge?  Besides the water-proof IP-67 certification, the ABG MESH uses the Thermal Electric Active Cooler from Marlow Industries that enable the unit to operate from -30 degree to 70 degree Celsius temperature.  This means year-round operation for your WISP network.

The ABG MESH features the following software functions for extra management and security need

• Layer2 Client Isolation:  Separate your wireless client from see each other.
• Rogue AP Detection:  When an authorized AP tries to join the MESH network, the MESH network will block such attempts and notify the administrator.
• WMS Utility:  The ABG MESH includes a WMS utility to let administrator manage and monitor all the APs in the MESH network
• Client Load Balancing:  When there is too many clients in one station, the station will reject connection to redirect the client to other APs.
• ACK Timeout Adjustment:  This feature let your 802.11a and 802.11g network to maintain its speed over long distance.  The ABG MESH defines the ACK timeout by distance.  Therefore, you don't have to second guess the correct value to enter.

The MESH network will improve the uptime and performance of your WISP network.  It is a perfect choice for WISP backbone deployment.

* The ABG MESH features 2 RF radios.  Each radio can operate in 2.4Ghz or 5GHz, but not both band at the same time.  However, you can have one radio operate in 2.4GHz and the other operates in 5GHz.

** This Device has no NAT router function.  The WAN port on this device functions like LAN port.
