Re: SmartBridges AirPoint Nexus vs. Air Point Pro
Good question. Here are some of the things from top of my mind. In summary, you gain the scalability and robustness in your wireless infrastructure.
Gain-
1) Per Subscriber Bandwidth Management for Downstream and Upstream flows
2) Higher Tx power (24 dBm vs. 17+ dBm)
3) Better receive sensitivity
4) Adjustable Noise threshold
5) Future investment protection as you migrate your subscribers from 11b to 11g or even to 11a (5 GHz) and ability to increase throughput by using COFDM
6) Browser based management interface
7) Full MIB2 compliance
8) Built-in Router capability to add hierarchy in your network architecture
9) Spanning Tree Protocol allows redundancy in the network
10) Time of day based service profiles (e.g. automatically lower the Bandwidth allocation at 8 pm on weekdays for business subscriber)
11) Better data security (WPA, 802.11i)
12) DHCP server, Client and Relay
13) Dual Ethernet ports with PoE output for easy daisy chaining
14) 10/100 Auto MDX ports
15) More robust hardware in metal chassis with built-in lightning protection, ability to tolerate large voltage fluctuations
16) Some more networking features to be released in the upcoming software upgrades.
