WH-9100MESH
Advanced Dual Radio MESH Outdoor AP
he WH-9100MESH is the latest addition to the AirLive WISP
solution family. It is our top of the line outdoor AP featuring
the latest MESH outdoor technology. The hardware features
T
2 Dual Band radios and Temperature Control Module that allows
operation from -30 to 70 degree Celsius. In addition, the software
features such as WMS utility, Rogue AP Detection, and Client load
balancing provide better security and control for administrators.
Comparing to our WH-9000MESH, it adds Gateway mode, Multiple
SSID, VLAN, and Layer 2 Isolation functions. The WH-9100MESH
adds significant improvement for performance and uptime for your
WISP network.
The MESH technology provides self-forming, self-healing, and self-configuring capabilities using the spanning
tree protocols. These technologies let MESH network constantly adjust itself to the best condition and
performance.
·
Self Forming: When you turn on the the MESH's auto bridge function, you only need to set each AP's
SSID and encryption key to the same value. Then the MESH APs will auto search and establish
connections between themselves. This technology let the MESH network self-adjust and establish
networks according to change in inference and weather conditions.

Self Healing: When one connection in your network is broken, the MESH network will disable this path
·
and re-route the data to take a different path. This ensure the lost of one or more AP will not bring down
your network.
Self Configuring: MESH provides multi-path capability that enables the MESH network to choose the
·
best path from point A to point B. The end result is stable and optimal performance throughout your WISP
network.
Inside the WH-9100MESH is a high performance Intel Xscale Processor working with 2 Dual Band 802.11a/b/g
RF modules. One RF radio is set to AP mode while the other radio is set to bridge mode, each radio have their
own set of antenna connectors. This means you can choose to let the AP provide service in 2.4GHz or 5GHz
spectrum, while the bridge radios maintain links to the remote MESH network.
What good does an advanced outdoor AP do if it doesn't stand up to the temperature and environment
challenge? Besides the water-proof IP-67 certification, the WH-9000MESH uses the Thermal Electric Active
Cooler from Marlow Industries that enable the unit to operate from -30 degree to 70 degree Celsius
temperature. This means year-round operation for your WISP network.

The WH-9100MESH features the following software functions for extra management and security need
· Layer2 Client Isolation: Separate your wireless client from see each other
· 802.1Q VLAN: Divide your network into separate wireless VLAN networks
· Multiple SSID: You can have more than one SSID in AP mode. Each SSID can be a separate wireless
VLAN
· Gateway mode: Turn your AP mode into a router mode. Gateway functions such as DMZ, content
filtering, IP filtering, and virtual server are inlucded
· Rogue AP Detection: When an authorized AP tries to join the MESH network, the MESH network will
block such attempts and notify the administrator.
· WMS Utility: The WH-9000MESH includes a WMS utility to let administrator manage and monitor all the
APs in the MESH network
· Client Load Balancing: When there is too many clients in one station, the station will reject connection
to redirect the client to other Aps.
· ACK Timeout Adjustment:This feature let your 802.11a and 802.11g network to maintain its speed over
long distance. The WH-9100MESH defines the ACK timeout by distance. Therefore, you don't have to
second guess the correct value to enter.
The MESH network will improve the uptime and performance of your WISP network. It is a perfect choice for
WISP backbone deployment.
* The WH-9100MESH features 2 RF radios. Each radio can operate in 2.4Ghz or 5GHz, but not both band at
the same time. However, you can have one radio operate in 2.4GHz and the other operates in 5GHz.
** This Device has no NAT router function. The WAN port on this device functions like LAN port.
