“Introducing The airPoint XO series from smartBridges”

smartBridges has launched the airPoint XO series, a powerful DSSS solution for WISPs, which combines the advantages of a professional grade access point with advanced features of bandwidth management. The smartBridges airPoint XO series products are LongRangeTM, IEEE 802.11b compliant Access Point devices for deployment of Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs).  The airPoint XO series addresses four key areas that are of vital importance in any WWAN  network: Subscriber Bandwidth Management, Advanced Networking Capabilities, Remote Infrastructure Management and Carrier-Class Reliability.

airPoint XO, the first product in this series is an access point with built-in subscriber bandwidth management, RADIUS client for access control and URL forwarding of the unauthorized users. This product is ideal for deploying large WISP networks and Public Access Hotspots. The rugged form factor and PoE allow simple unobtrusive installations.

airPoint XO2, the second product, is a dual-radio device that offers all the features of the airPoint XO. In addition, the modular control of radios enables many different configurations. The airPoint XO2  can be used in high performance Cell Extender configuration for deploying low cost backhaul solution. It can be used as two Access Points in a box for simultaneous use to support large number of users or as a highly reliable Access Point with Standby for redundancy. The multimode functionality offered by airPoint XO2  is unrivalled and simplifies the deployment of Wireless Wide Area Networks.

Partner Initiatives

Weekly Distributor Teleconference”

Driven by the 'Continuous Improvement' credo at smartBridges, we have embarked on a new initiative to work with our partners to enhance co-ordination and exchange of ideas on the tech-support front.  This new initiative takes the form of a weekly teleconference with distributors where we jointly brainstorm technical support issues with a view to generating prompt and efficient responses.  This entire exercise is focussed on ultimately delivering a much higher level of user satisfaction.

In this teleconference, smartBridges Tech-support team will also focus on sharing product/ firmware/ software updates with the distributors and offer relevant guidance and training.  A typical tele-conference under this initiative:

1.      Involves technical personnel from our partner's organisation and the smartBridges Technical Support Team

2.      Covers multiple areas including technical issues, product issues, product updates, and suggestions on improvements

3.      Solicits from our channel partners, detailed customer feedback captured from end-users in terms of features, application, performance etc.

Moving forward, we plan to have a Technical Newsletter for distributors and key customers. It shall be dedicated to tech-support and will mainly feature technical issues, deployment, configuration and installation issues.

The tele-conference and the newsletter together are also aimed at providing a platform for discussing application level issues, value-added solutions and technology directions.These efforts are in line with our objective of forging closer ties with our partners, ensuring that their feedback is adequately captured in all organisation wide processes particularly in product development, sales and marketing. We will be most glad to hear your opinions on the Weekly Tele-conference Initiative.  Do write to our tech-support  at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  to participate or to get more information on this.
