airPoint XO
The smartBridges airPoint XO is a LongRangeTM IEEE 802.11b compliant professional access point with built-in bandwidth
management. It distributes bandwidth control function over the network, thus improving performance and robustness of
Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANS). The airPoint XO manages network traffic data to allow optimal bandwidth allocation,
pricing and customer management. With remote management features, carrier class protection and standards compliance,
the airPoint XO lends Wireless ISPs (WISPs) the unique capability to manage wireless networks effortlessly and profitably.
Bandwidth Management for increased ROI
The airPoint XO provides bandwidth throttling of upload/download streams. The bandwidth control can be done using static
tables or dynamically by RADIUS, along with authentication. The Wireless ISP can profile subscribers based on speed limits and
identify bandwidth usage patterns. This opens up customer segmentation possibilities, leading to revenue maximization. The
airPoint XO provides traffic statistics. This helps the WISP to observe the behavior of network devices, traffic load fluctuations
and other events, making it much easier to troubleshoot any problems, which might occur. The information available helps the
WISP to optimize bandwidth utilization. WISPs can now easily provide services to more subscribers.
Easy Scalability & Roaming
By distributing the bandwidth management function from the centralized NOC out to individual airPoint XO access points, it
is now possible to design scalable wide area networks. Bandwidth traffic policies can be set remotely from a central NOC. This
avoids the need for backhauling all the data traffic to a single place, thus averting a choke point. All access points in the
network controlled by one NOC not only brings convenience to network management but also enables mobile users to avail
easy roaming facility. Roaming users can cross over seamlessly from one cell to another within the same WISP network,
without the need for authentication at every cross-over.
Automatic Client Discovery and Authentication
The airPoint XO supports MAC/IP address based authentication. The devices on the network are automatically discovered and
built into a tree-topology for easy management. The airPoint XO also supports a one-time authentication of clients. Repeat
users are authenticated automatically when they log on to the network. The WISP has full control of the network to ensure
that unauthorized users don't have access to network facilities.

Remote Management, Upgrades and Control
airPoint XO has built-in features to make device management both convenient and secure. It can provide access control lists
and filters for SNMP traffic, as well as IP filtering. The airPoint XO supports remote setting of radio parameters, firmware
upgrade and restore defaults through SNMP. Further, the WISP can also monitor the temperature of the unit through the
thermal sensing facility, which is policy based. The product supports SNMP based remote monitoring and management
through simpleNMS and simpleMonitor and has an embedded SNMP MIB.
Long Range™ Radio Performance and Flexible Antenna Options
airPoint XO features LongRange™ wireless radio that delivers high data throughput over long operating range. With a suitable
antenna airPoint XO's range easily extends to 34 kilometers (21 Miles). The airPoint XO has been FCC certified with many
antenna configurations normally used by WISPs and outdoor wireless installers. Software controlled "Dial-a-Power" lets the
installer control radio power output. Together, these features provide the much-needed flexibility to choose the right antenna
with the pattern and gain characteristics conforming to local regulatory limits as well as coverage area requirements.
Carrier Class Reliability
Housed in a NEMA 4X weatherproof casing, and using industrial grade components, the airPoint XO is built to perform reliably
under all climatic conditions, withstanding temperatures anywhere between -40 C and +60 C (-40 F to 140 F). The device has
built-in sanity timers for automatic reset at periodic interval. Power to the radio can be remotely controlled. These
housekeeping resets means very robust and self-healing Wide Area Networks. The product has heavy duty/built-in Gas
Discharge Tube for surge suppression capability. Used along with the PoE Outdoor (standard accessory), the airPoint XO is an
extremely robust outdoor device for WISPs. The airPoint XO complies with CE and FCC standards for wireless installations.
Reinforced Processing Capability for higher network loads
airPoint XO, with more raw processing power, surpasses other available devices allowing it to take on bigger network loads.
The radio with its individual slave processor coupled with the master processor can support high network loads.
The airPoint XO addresses four key areas that are of vital importance in any WWAN network: Subscriber Bandwidth
Management, Advanced Networking Capabilities, Remote Infrastructure Management and Carrier-Class Reliability. The
wide ranging benefits from airPoint XO improve deployment economics and reduce the cost to build, maintain and expand
any outdoor wireless networks profitably. On the subscriber management front, it opens up new and exciting possibilities to
improve Quality of Service and pricing. airPoint XO is all set to transform infrastructure management in outdoor wireless
networks.
