1 Product Overview
1.1 Product Overview
BHU Networks (hereinafter referred as BHU Networ ks) launc hes BHU
NETWORKS®BXM2/5 (BXM2/5 for short) on the basis o f proprietary space adaptive
optimal communication technology-- airX.
Supporting wireless route and bridging, BXM2 complies with 802.11bgn protocol and
works at 2.4GHz frequency range,BXM5 complies with 802.11an protocol and works
at 5GHz frequency ra nge. T hey both provi de high performance wireless relay lin k
among WLAN stations to ensure higher tr ansmission rate and longer transmission
distance. Enhanced network functions make them suitable for various application
conditions.
Easy installation and friendly configuration interface guarantee BXM2/5 product
quickly access to deployment and service. They aim to perfectly solve the problems
of termination access in WLAN coverage area or marginal area, at the same time
extends the coverage of WLAN stations as large as possible. Transmit power no
longer stops BXM2/5 from covering widely due to its 500mW transmit power and
high-gain antenna in 12dBi of BXM2 & 16dBi of BXM5.
1.2 Main Feature
Uplink to 2.4GHzof BXM2 & 5GHz of BXM5. wireless access point, downlink to
dual-wire LAN port export;
Wireless access support IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard of BXM2 & 802.11a/n
standard of BXM5;
Support MIMO 2x2, maximum rate up to 300Mbps;
Support respective user’s independent authentication under WDS bridging mode;
Max transmit power up to 500Mw, maximum receiver sensitivity up to
-100dBm of BXM2 & -95dBm of BXM5, both substantially ensure long transmission
distance and high quality signal of wireless link;
Support 2x Ethernet ports in main and auxiliary backup use, or independent use;
