WiFi CellNode M100

CellNode M100 is a unique WiFi device which enables providers to securely deploy wireless mesh networks. Every CellNode features two radio transceivers that support the 802.11a/b/g/n standards. The first radio usually serves local wireless subscribers (downlink) at 2.4Ghz, while the second radio is used to connect to the infrastructure backbone (uplink) at 5Ghz.

CellNode M100 features protected WDS/STP infrastructure data routing transport that allows transparent traffic failover and logically isolates all client networks for improved throughput, advanced roaming, and network security. The device can be provisioned and managed centrally. It includes security software such as Firewall, QoS, and Radius software services for access and traffic management purposes.

Centralized Management and Provisioning

CellNode M100 ensures low operational and management costs via its support for centralized management and provisioning. Utilizing a central server interface, administrators can request a configuration change and/or firmware update which will be automatically propagated to all CellNodes within the provider network, regardless of their geographical location.


Unique Routing Protocol with Policy Filtering

CellNode M100 features unique routing protocol that supports protected Spanning Tree/STP infrastructure to withstand any type of DoS attacks such as Unwanted Broadcasts, Network Flooding, ARP Poisoning, and Evil Twin attacks. The routing protocol logically isolates the client network layers and provides full roaming support. In addition, CellNode offers improved network security via its built-in policy management features to allow traffic prioritization and shaping. The device includes Firewall, QoS, and Radius software to provide advanced security management mechanisms.


Limited Number of Uplink Requirements

CellNode M100 requires limited number of Ethernet, fiber-optic or DSL uplinks when deployed in wireless mesh infrastructure. The device has a 5 GHz wireless transceiver dedicated to transport backbone traffic which allows multiple CellNodes to connect to a single uplink (via access controller). All backbone links are achieved either in a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint fashion to provide more alternative routes when needed.


Support for Wireless Mesh Infrastructure

CellNode M100 is designed for deployment in wireless mesh infrastructure. In such infrastructure, each CellNode M100 communicates with an uplink relay (bridge) or access controller and with other wireless clients within its reach. If one CellNode device becomes temporarily unavailable, traffic is transparently redirected to other CellNodes located within physical proximity.


Built-in Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

CellNode M100 is designed to withstand extended power outages without service interruption. The device has a built-in uninterruptible power supply which can provide up to 23 hours of emergency power under normal load. The feature allows the device to be supplied with power on a part-time basis. For example, it can be installed on street light poles that are only powered during night-time.


2.4 Ghz Transceiver with Super-G and XRS Technologies

CellNode M100 features 2.4 GHz (802.11b/g/n) transceiver with Super-G and Extended Range (XRS) technologies. The 2.4 GHz wireless band is used by the CellNode to communicate with wireless clients located within its service range. All CellNode Access Points that operate in close proximity are utilizing variable power levels and operate on different channels to reduce possible interference.
