300 Mbps wireless mesh network tech launched
Motorola today announced the AP 7181 access point – a high-performance, reliable and secure 802.11n outdoor mesh wide area network (MWAN) solution.
Offering data speeds of up to 300 Mbps and featuring Motorola’s proprietary ADvanced Element Panel Technology (ADEPT) antenna system, the AP 7181 provides municipalities and enterprise customers with a wireless network solution that supports their data, video and voice needs.
According to Motorola their AP 7181 outdoor mesh access points provide more network capacity, enable more applications and support more users than 802.11a/b/g mesh solutions.
“Motorola’s innovative ADEPT antenna system enables the AP 7181 to achieve maximum performance by communicating two simultaneous data streams in the same channel and avoiding the self-shadowing of typical multi-antenna solutions,” the company said in a press statement.
“With antennas integrated into an aesthetic enclosure, Motorola’s solution overcomes the limitations of multiple antenna sticks in a typical 802.11n access point. Network availability and reliability is further strengthened with 802.11n radios specifically designed by Motorola to maintain full power at high data rates, ensuring enhanced client connections and superior mesh throughput throughout a coverage area.”
“Our customers seek solutions that can support a broad range of fixed and mobile applications, from automated meter reading to field mobility to wireless video surveillance,” said Nelson Santos, president, Scientel Wireless. “802.11n mesh networks offer a compelling connectivity option with one infrastructure having enough bandwidth and capacity to support many of these applications simultaneously.”
