AIRMESH MSR4000 OUTDOOR
WIRELESS MESH ROUTER
Delivers High-Performance Wireless Mesh Routing
The Aruba
®
AirMesh MSR4000 delivers high-performance wireless
mesh routing with the high capacity of the wired enterprise
network infrastructure to outdoor environments.
Ruggedized and hardened to withstand extreme environmental
conditions, the MSR4000 is ideal for deployment in metropolitan
and industrial areas, oilelds, mines, and shipping ports.
A multi-radio, multi-frequency architecture and adaptive Layer 3
routing using the Aruba MeshOS™ operating system make the
MSR4000 unique. Together, they provide unparalleled capacity,
reliability, low latency and seamless handoffs for voice, HD-quality
video and other real-time applications across long-distance
outdoor wireless mesh networks.
FLEXIBLE, HIGH-CAPACITY ARCHITECTURE
The MSR4000 consists of four independent 802.11a/b/g/n radios
for exible outdoor wireless mesh deployments using the 2.4-GHz,
5-GHz and 4.9-GHz band. Each radio is capable of providing a
maximum aggregate transmit power of 25 dBm and a data rate of
up to 300 Mbps.
Each radio may be congured to operate as a Wi-Fi access
point (AP) or as a point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or full mesh
backhaul. A quad-radio architecture separates client access and
mesh backbone data while optimizing radio resources for both
types of trafc to ensure high throughput and low latency.
INTELLIGENT WIRELESS MESH ROUTING
Integrated with Aruba MeshOS, Adaptive Wireless Routing™ (AWR™)
technology automatically optimizes trafc routes between wireless
mesh routers and creates a truly adaptive mesh infrastructure.
With AWR, the mesh infrastructure adjusts dynamically to trafc
levels and RF signal strength to ensure high availability and optimal
performance across multiple network hops.
Aruba’s MobileMatrix™, another key MeshOS Layer 3 technology,
allows Wi-Fi clients to move between wireless mesh routers in
less than 50 milliseconds, maintaining a seamless connection for
latency-sensitive applications, such as video and voice.
HD-QUALITY VIDEO
For HD-quality video from mobile and xed surveillance cameras,
monitors and recording systems, the Active Video Transport™
(AVT™) technology in MeshOS provides trafc management and
load balancing across the mesh.
AVT uses deep packet inspection, MAC protocol optimization, in-
network retransmission protocol and adaptive video jitter removal
to deliver enhanced video at up to 30 frames per second.
REDUCED CAPITAL AND OPERATING COSTS
In addition to reducing capital and operating expenses by simplifying
deployment, the MSR4000 eliminates the high cost of installing
copper or ber-optic cabling, as well as monthly fees for leased lines,
digital subscriber line (DSL) and metro Ethernet services.
