Proxim Wireless, today announced MeshMAX, a new multi-radio product line that incorporates WiMAX, Wi-Fi mesh, and Wi-Fi access.
MeshMAX increases the capacity of mesh networks, simplifies their deployment, and provides outdoor mobility for the 300 million-plus Wi-Fi clients, claims Proxim.
The ORiNOCO Wi-Fi Mesh Series (pdf) consists of an indoor access point, the AP-4000M (pdf) and a ruggedized, outdoor unit (AP-4000MR).
Proxim says seamless integration between ORiNOCO indoor and outdoor mesh access points enable existing indoor Wi-Fi mesh networks to extend outdoors.
