System Overview
System Overview
The BelAir100 can operate as a standalone device, or participate in a BelAir
Networks multiple point-to-point mesh as an edge node or to terminate the
mesh where the full functionality of the BelAir200 is not required.
A typical BelAir100 configuration will include one access radio and one
backhaul radio using the integral antennas.
In this configuration, the BelAir100 unit provides access to mobile users
through 802.11b or 802.11g radio links at 2.4 GHz, or through 802.11a radio
links at 5 GHz. As shown in Figure 2, the typical deployment scenario is to use
both BelAir100 units and BelAir200 units to illuminate a building from the
outside to provide coverage throughout the building. The BelAir100 can also
provide outdoor coverage and act as a mesh portal for a cluster of BelAir50C
or BelAir50S nodes.

Alternatively, the BelAir100 can also be configured to use two backhaul radios.
In this configuration, the BelAir100 provides wireless backhaul between nodes
using 5 GHz 802.11a links.
