◗ Outdoor Wireless System (OWS)
Access/One Network OWS is designed for outdoor deployments where
network performance, reliability and scalability are a must. A single OWS
node supports up to 6 radios, each of which can be dedicated to a unique
function, such as mesh backbone ingress, egress, or client connectivity. High
throughput and low latency across the Strix mesh backbone allows for the
deployment of hundreds of nodes while utilizing only limited wired drops or
termination points, making the OWS a highly scalable wireless networking
solution for outdoor deployments.

The OWS architecture makes 802.11 a full duplex technology, moving traffic
more efficiently through the network and utilizing different RF frequencies
and channels for network connectivity and client access. In addition,
channels are selected dynamically, making the network more tolerant of
interference than standard mesh networks. Working closely together, these
features deliver higher throughput and lower latency across multiple hops,
supporting real time voice, video, and data applications.
The OWS product is available in multiple configurations (2400 and 3600
series) that are fully upgradeable, driven by a 110/220 VAC auto-sensing
power supply, with a DC power option and an optional heater for extreme
environments.
