Outdoor RX INN Introduction
RX INN Overview
The RX INN comprises an Intel compatible XScale main board, the “Pronghorn Metro” from
ADI Engineering loaded with RoamAD software. It can therefore be easily customised for
specific service provider requirements.
Each RX INN contains up to 4 embedded IEEE 802.11 compatible radios (supporting the
802.11 a/b/g standards) and six antenna connection points for end user connectivity, or
wireless backhaul as well as dual Ethernet ports for local network connectivity.
The easy-to-use, web-based management platform allows a service provider to carry out
remote, real-time, web-based management and control of the RX INN.
This allows the service provider to undertake real-time diagnostics on the INN and of the end
user experience (channel use, coverage level, bandwidth and data use) empowering the
service provider with accurate real-time knowledge to give remote end user support that is
relevant.
The RX INN auto-configuration procedure means that the device configuration code is
efficiently downloaded to each RX INN over the network during device boot-up using
advanced encryption standard (AES) technology.
Use of AES to encrypt all network management information that is delivered between the RX
INN and the service provider’s network ensures network integrity during software upgrades,
security patch installation or general network management.
RX INN network service packages may include DHCP, DNS, NTP, web servers, firewall
rules, intrusion detection, routing policy rule-sets, and end-user rate-limiting.
The RX INN requires an Intelligent Network Server (INS), one or more Gateway Servers
(GS), or Gateway Nodes to function in an overall RoamAD solution. An Inter-Network
Controller (INC) may also be used to allow end users to roam seamlessly between RX INNs
that are located in adjacent network areas.
The RX INN uses the NMP-8602 mini-PCI type III B High-Power card (installed by default
unless otherwise specified. Other modules may be installed), which supports dual-band
(2.4GHz & 5GHz) radio operation. It provides high-speed wireless connection with data rate
up to 54Mbps.
