Each GigaSpire product can have a dual personality. It can either be a Gateway or a Mesh 

point depending on the software being implemented. For example, if the GS2026E is loaded 
with the Gateway EXOS software, it will be a Gateway. At the same time, if one desires to 

have the GM2020E GigaSpire BLAST as satellite mesh points, the mesh EXOS software is 

to be installed. With Gateway and Mesh units, they form a mesh network.
