MeshMAX™ Product Series

Proxim’s MeshMAX™ product line integrates three technologies, WiMAX, Wi-Fi® Mesh and Wi-Fi, in one small unit!

MeshMAX 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 for backhaul. The convergence of these three technologies in one unit delivers end-to-end QoS for triple-play applications, a reduction in total cost of ownership and investment protection for future developments in WiMAX!

Experienced in WiMAX and Wi-Fi Applications

Drawing on Proxim’s expertise in WiMAX and Wi-Fi Mesh Technologies, the MeshMAX product line encapsulates the best in class features of the award-winning Tsunami WiMAX and ORiNOCO mesh product families. Proxim is uniquely positioned to offer this leading-edge product given our extensive experience in delivering Wi-Fi and WiMAX solutions.
