WiFi Mesh Network – Apro-8110
WiFi Mesh : Gateway & Relay

for Outdoor Mesh Network Deployment with Mobile IP, QoS & IAPP

Apro-8110 WiFi Mesh Metropolitan Area Network solution extends the capability of WiFi Local Area Network technologies (IEEE802.11) from providing just local area network connectivity to a wider reach for “wide-area” coverage without messy wiring and wired backbone connection.

Apro-8110 WiFi Mesh Metropolitan Area Network is designed for Enterprises as well as Residential (End-User) to have wireless broadband connectivity, with security, management and mobility taking into consideration.

Our WiFi Wireless Mesh Network solution addresses the market requirements for networks that are highly scalable and self configurable, offering end users secure, seamless roaming beyond traditional WLAN boundaries and provides easy deployment in areas that do not (or cannot) support a wired backhaul. Apro-8110 solution is well-suited for providing broadband wireless access in areas that traditional WLAN systems are unable to cover.

The fundamental Network architecture of Apro-8110 is given in Figure-1, and is built upon our Dual-Radio Access Point (Apro-8110 NodeAP), where one of the Radios serve as the backbone network infrastructure for Internet routing protocol, and the 2nd Radio form the end-user up/down stream wireless link.

Apro-8110 solution includes point-to-point and point-to-multipoint architecture with either normal (100mW) and/or extended (400mW) RF output transmission with external Antenna. With integration of routers, security features & adaptive backhaul routing algorithm & mobile IP for providing both Internet Access and WiFi VoIP applications.
