As the market demand for city or campus wide mobile connectivity, security, and network scalability
increases, there is an escalating need for carrier-grade wireless broadband solutions to provide best of breed
in wireless distribution and access technologies. Proxim’s MeshMAX 5054 integrates three technologies in
one unit! The new MeshMAX 5054 product is a tri-radio outdoor device, offering Wi-Fi connectivity for
access, Wi-Fi mesh gateway for network redundancy and a high capacity, carrier-class, WiMAX link in the
unlicensed 5GHz frequencies for backhaul and high speed vehicular roaming. The convergence of these
three technologies delivers end-to-end QoS for triple-play applications and reduction in total cost of
ownership.
The MeshMAX 5054WM consists of one radio for WiMAX backhaul in the unlicensed 5 GHz range, one
radio for Wi-Fi Mesh and one radio for 802.11b/g Wi-Fi access. Expanding Wi-Fi coverage, the 5054W
includes one radio for WiMAX backhaul and two radios for tri-mode Wi-Fi access, supporting 802.11a and
802.11 b/g clients. The MeshMAX 5054 provides an optimal solution which brings internet connectivity and
applications to where the customers are and where they want to be.
