Indoor and Outdoor Solutions
Access/One Network has been designed for both indoor and outdoor wireless
applications. Strix offers hardware solutions for both indoor and outdoor
applications.
◗ Indoor Wireless System (IWS)
Access/One Network IWS is designed for indoor deployments, with nodes
being deployed using conventional Ethernet, or wirelessly via the Strix
structured mesh architecture. State-of-the-art management and security
features built into the IWS allow IT managers to deploy networks that can be
secured using the latest authentication and encryption schemes, and
managed entirely from a single point.
Figure 2. Indoor Wireless System (IWS)
The IWS is modular and flexible, with each network node capable of
supporting up to three wireless modules of any type and mix. This flexibility
provides the configuration options needed to meet the most demanding user
connectivity requirements. Support for future wireless technologies, such as
802.16, Ultrawideband (802.15.3a), or 802.20, is as simple as adding the
appropriate module to the network nodes wherever they are needed. With
the IWS, 802.11a and 802.11g Client Connect modules can be configured to
achieve speeds up to 108 Mbps, significantly improving the performance of
your wireless network.
