ORiNOCO Public Safety Wi-Fi Mesh For Emergency Response and Metro Wi-Fi Applications
High Capacity Mesh Access Points Deliver Flexible, Scalable, and Reliable Data, Voice and Video for Large Public Safety and Wi-Fi Deployments
Supporting both 4.9 GHz public safety and 2.4 GHz metropolitan Wi-Fi networks through dual 4.9/2.4 GHz radios, ORiNOCO Public Safety Wi-Fi Mesh delivers the versatility and feature robustness required by today’s demanding emergency response and Wi-Fi applications.
Delivering unparalleled enterprise-scale security, management and Quality of Service (QoS) features, the access points are preconfigured with tri-mode support for best in class performance and flexibility in large public safety deployments. Offering a cost-effective, scalable mesh solution, ORiNOCO Public Safety Wi-Fi Mesh Series consists of indoor form factors.
The AP-4900M indoor access point’s small form factor enables installation in a building or a vehicle trunk.
- The ORiNOCO Mesh Creation Protocol (OMCP) enables mesh backhaul and Wi-Fi coverage on one radio, while the second radio is used exclusively for Wi-Fi coverage
- Industry-leading throughput with 802.11g and 4.9 GHz simultaneous operation
- Robust RADIUS accounting and authorization interface enables detailed subscriber usage tracking
- WMM/802.11e draft Quality of Service support for data, voice, and video
Proactive Security Measures to Protect Your Network
ORiNOCO access points support the highest security standards, including IEEE 802.11i and AES encryption, and add proactive security measures to prevent attacks.
- Intra-cell blocking and traffic redirection to prevent subscriber-to-subscriber attacks
- Broadcast bandwidth throttling prevents broadcast attacks
- IEEE 802.1x mutual authentication with dynamic per-user, per-session rotating keys
- Rogue access point detection and notification
- Secure management interfaces: SNMPv3, SSL and SSH
- Dynamic per-user, per-session rotating keys
Easy to Deploy and Manage
Ease of deployment and integration with the wired network are critical factors in a successful, profitable wireless network rollout. ORiNOCO mesh access points excel with key capabilities that simplify WLAN deployments.
- Self-forming and self-healing ORiNOCO Mesh Creation Protocol automatically routes traffic through the best path as mesh access points are added or removed from the network
- Tools to speed installation and optimization: automatic channel selection, adjustable transmit power, external antenna connectors
- Remote management via SNMP, HTTP and Telnet
Reliable by Design
With over 25 years of experience in the design and manufacture of wireless LANs, Proxim Wireless understands that enterprises require the same uptime and reliability in a wireless network as in a wired network. ORiNOCO mesh access points offer:
- Robust features for Wi-Fi and enterprise applications
- Automatic reconfiguration of security policy in the event of power loss
- Dual firmware image support – for rollback in the event of software or configuration change problems
- Power-over-Ethernet support
