Chapter 1. Overview
The Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a are flexible wireless outdoor routers that let you design solutions for point-to-
point links and point-to-multipoint networks.
The Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a are product families comprising several products (such as the MP.11 2411 Base
Station and the MP.11 2411 Residential Subscriber Unit).
For simplification:
•
All products that are part of the MP.11 Product Family are referred to as MP.11.
•
All products that are part of the MP.11a Product Family are referred to as MP.11a.
•
MP.11/a is used in this book when referring to both the Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a product families.
Some of the key features of the MP.11/a are:
•
The use of a highly optimized protocol for outdoor situations
•
Routing and bridging capability
•
Asymmetric bandwidth management
•
Management through a Web Interface, a Command Line Interface (CLI), or Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP)
•
A “ruggedized” version that can be placed outside, close to the antenna, to significantly improve range and
ease of installation
