Introduction
1.1 Overview
The AirMax DUO is a dream device for WISP to build their wireless networks. The AP
features 2 Atheros 11a/b/g radios that run in 5GHz or 2.4GHz frequency band. Moreover, it
provides hi-power at 11a mode for extra long distance application. There is an intergraded
802.3af POE port to let you run the AP at up to 100 meter distance away from the power
source.
Dual Wireless + High Power + 2 LAN Ports
The AirMax DUO is equipped with 2 high-powered Atheros radios. The radio 1 runs in the
11a 5GHz mode only while the radio 2 runs at the 11a/b/g dual band. AirLive adds high
power amplifier to run the AP at 23dBm in 11a mode (200mW), that’s 4 times the output
power of normal 11a radio (50mW). In addition, 2 programmable LAN ports are available
for multi-mode AP/Gateway configuration.
Multiple Operation Modes
The AirMax DUO can operate in multiple wireless modes for different application
environments such as Dual AP, Dual WDS, Duplex link aggregation, Separate Bridge, AP +
Client, AP + WDS, WDS + Gateway, AP + Gateway, and AP + WISP. These modes can be
changed and configured easily by the Web user interface.
802.3af PoE Port
AirMax DUO is equipped with an 802.3af Power over Ethernet port. It thus can be powered
by a PoE PSE and operate at up to 100 meter away.
