Backhaul Link
Types
The BelAir100 can be configured with the following types of links to form a
mesh for backhaul traffic:
• 5 GHz multiple point-to-point (P-to-P)—Any BelAir node containing a radio
with part numbers B2CC001AA, B2CC001AB, B2CC034AA, B2CC034AB
or B2CC033AA can provide P-to-P backhaul links.
• 2.4 GHz multipoint-to-multipoint (MP-to-MP)—To create these types of
links, the BelAir node must contain a radio with part numbers B2CC011AA,
