Cloud managed
What used to require a
dedicated server can now be
done through a browser and
our free, cloud-based network
controller, CloudTrax. CloudTrax
is packed with powerful
features to meet the demands
of IT professionals, yet is
easy enough to be deployed
by someone with little to no
network experience.
High performance
Open Mesh MR Series
access points are designed
to deliver all the features and
performance you’d expect from
enterprise-grade hardware at a
fraction of the price. Features
include dual band simultaneous
2.4GHz/5GHz, 3x3
configurations on wireless N or
AC, Gigabit Ethernet, standard
802.3af PoE and more.
Mesh enabled
Install units like traditional
hardwired access points and
add additional power-only units
to extend coverage. All access
points work together to form
a self-organizing, self-healing
encrypted mesh network with
seamless roaming. Mesh allows
you to balance performance
with deployment flexibility in
locations where additional
cabling isn’t always feasible.
White labeled
Open Mesh is ideal for systems
integrators, resellers and IT
consultants because we don’t
put any logos on our boxes or
access points. Even our cloud
controller, CloudTrax, contains
no links or references back to
Open Mesh. With no competing
messages, your brand is the
star of the show.
Open Mesh MR Series access
points provide robust wireless
LAN coverage anywhere you
need to share a connection.
Each access point is a cloud-
managed concurrent dual
band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
access point, router, mesh
gateway and repeater all in
one compact, reliable, high-
performance package.

A perfect fit
Open Mesh makes it easy to get wireless coverage exactly where
you need it. Out of the box, Open Mesh MR Series access points
can be installed in any indoor location like a ceiling (to cover a
room) or wall (to cover a sector of a larger facility). And with the
outdoor enclosure that mounts to a wall or pole, you can take
your wireless network outside. Open Mesh enclosures blend in
seamlessly in any oce, school conference facility or event venue.

Easy scalability
Whether you’re managing one
site or thousands, CloudTrax is
built to grow with you. Because
there’s nothing to configure
on-site, adding new access
points and network locations
takes just seconds. Create new
networks by cloning existing
ones and provision new access
points in just a click. CloudTrax
makes it easy to get all of your
networks behind a single pane
of glass.
Mobile apps
CloudTrax includes free iOS
and Android apps, so you can
build, manage and monitor
your networks while on the
go. Create new networks in
seconds, add new APs by
simply scanning them, and
swap old APs with new with
zero typing or configuration.
You have access to the full
functionality available at
cloudtrax.com and can switch
between mobile and desktop
seamlessly.
Multiple SSIDs
CloudTrax can broadcast
multiple unique networks,
some public and others
private. Public networks can
be customized with powerful
captive portal features,
while private networks work
seamlessly as an extension
of your LAN. Each network
can be uniquely named, left
visible or hidden, and left
open or password-protected
with WPA2 encryption.
Automated alerts
Don’t have time to check the
network status every day?
Don’t worry. If any access
point goes down and doesn’t
come back up within an hour,
CloudTrax will automatically
email you (and anyone else you
designate). Outage alerts are
easy to turn on and o, always
keeping you in-the-know when
it comes to the health of your
wireless network.

Benefits
Say goodbye to onsite controllers
— and monthly fees.
Build, manage and monitor your
networks across one site or thou-
sands through the cloud. With no

Mesh is powerful enough to meet
the demands of IT professionals
yet easy enough to use by some-
one with little or no experience.
