Full Repeater mode, with Bandwidth Management
This mode is particularly useful to WISPs for covering very long distances without incurring throughput loss. In a typical scenario, if signals have to be repeated, the throughput is generally halved by the repeater. airPointXO²’s Full Repeater mode overcomes the problems of lowered throughput and higher costs by configuring both back to back connected radios as repeaters.

Bandwidth Management for increased ROI
The airPoint XO² provides bandwidth throttling of upload/download streams. The bandwidth control can be done using static tables or dynamically by RADIUS, along with authentication. The Wireless ISP can profile subscribers based on speed limits and identify bandwidth usage patterns. This opens up customer segmentation possibilities, leading to revenue maximization.

The airPoint XO² provides traffic statistics. This helps the WISP to observe the behavior of network devices, traffic load fluctuations and other events, making it much easier to troubleshoot any problems, which might occur. The information available helps the WISP to optimize bandwidth utilization. WISPs can now easily provide services to more subscribers.

Easy Scalability & Roaming
By distributing the bandwidth management function from the centralized NOC out to individual airPoint XO² access points, it is now possible to design scalable wide area networks. Bandwidth traffic policies can be set remotely from a central NOC. This avoids the need for backhauling all the data traffic to a single place, thus averting a choke point. All access points in the network controlled by one NOC not only brings convenience to network management but also enables mobile users to avail easy roaming facility Roaming users can cross over seamlessly from one cell to another within the same WISP network, without the need for authentication at every cross-over.

Remote Management, Upgrades and Control
airPoint XO² has built-in features to make device management both convenient and secure. It can provide access control lists and filters for SNMP traffic, as well as IP filtering. The airPoint XO² supports remote setting of radio parameters, firmware upgrade and restore defaults through SNMP. Further, the WISP can also monitor the temperature of the unit through the thermal sensing facility, which is policy based. The product supports SNMP based remote monitoring and management through simple NMS and simpleMonitor and has an embedded SNMP MIB.

Long Range™ Radio Performance and Flexible Antenna Options
airPoint XO² features LongRange™ wireless radio that delivers high data throughput over long operating range. With a suitable antenna airPoint XO²'s range easily extends to 34 kilometers (21 Miles). The airPoint XO² has been FCC certified with many antenna configurations normally used by WISPs and outdoor wireless installers. Software controlled "Dial-a-Power" lets the installer control radio power output. Together, these features provide the much-needed flexibility to choose the right antenna with the pattern and gain characteristics conforming to local regulatory limits as well as coverage area requirements. The airPoint XO² supports 128 clients per radio.

Reinforced Processing Capability for higher network loads
airPoint XO², with more raw processing power, surpasses other available devices allowing it to take on bigger network loads. The two radios with their individual slave processors coupled with the master processor of the unit can support enormous network loads. This makes the network robust enough to withstand load spikes thereby ensuring infrastructure reliability.

Carrier Class Reliability
Housed in a NEMA 4X weatherproof casing, and using industrial grade components, the airPoint XO² is built to perform reliably under all climatic conditions, withstanding temperatures anywhere between -40 C and +60 C (-40 F to 140 F). The device has built-in sanity timers for automatic reset at periodic interval. Power to the radio can be remotely controlled. These housekeeping resets means very robust and self-healing Wide Area Networks. The product has heavy duty/built-in Gas Discharge Tube for surge suppression capability. Used along with the PoE Injector (standard accessory), the airPoint XO² is an extremely robust outdoor device for WISPs. The airPoint XO² complies with CE and FCC standards for wireless installations.
