ORiNOCO AP-4000M Access Point  
Highest Capacity Meshing AP-4000M Delivers Flexible, Scalable, and Reliable Voice and
Data for Large Metropolitan and Enterprise Wi-Fi Deployments
The dual-radio ORiNOCO AP-4000M delivers voice and data over Wi-Fi to the edge of a
network over a flexible, auto-forming, self-healing, non-line of site mesh backbone. The
dual-radio architecture separates the mesh backbone traffic from the edge access traffic,
doubling the capacity compared to single-radio mesh architectures. The small form factor
allows additional scalability beyond two radios by placing multiple AP-4000Ms in a single
outdoor enclosure. Purpose-built for the metropolitan Wi-Fi market, the AP-4000M is built on
the same reliable software used in ORiNOCO enterprise networks to ensure carrier-quality
availability.
  • The ORiNOCO Mesh Creation Protocol (OMCP) enables mesh backhaul and Wi-Fi
    coverage on the same radio, while the second radio is used exclusively for Wi-Fi
    coverage.
  • Twice the memory of competing APs, ensuring software upgrade capacity
  • Industry-leading throughput with 802.11g and 802.11a simultaneous operation
  • Super Mode allows Super Mode-capable clients to get double the data rate as
    standard clients while simultaneously allowing standard Wi-Fi clients to
    communicate with the access points.


The AP-4900M Mesh AP delivers unparalleled enterprise-scale security, management and
QoS features, and is pre-configured with quad mode for best-in-class performance and
flexibility in large deployments. The AP- 4900M is perfect for large production public safety
and metro Wi-Fi networks.
