Unlike most wireless networking systems, the Access One Network’s mesh framework allows for wireless backhaul, thus freeing the network from Ethernet cable ties.

Strix Access/One platform is designed to meet all these needs. The platform is based on the Strix DMA™ (Dynamic Mesh Architecture) and patented design: a layer 2 switching architecture with multiple radios available for subscriber access and 2 radios dedicated to backhaul.  This 3rd generation architecture, unique in the industry, provides the robust high quality transport to carry voice, data and video traffic for up to an unparalleled 10 hops with minimal latency and little reduction in throughput. By contrast, first and second generation single and dual radio platforms are incapable of carrying traffic for more than a few hops without significant reduction in throughput and high latency.  The Strix architecture has been incorporated into the product family of carrier class outdoor products, enterprise products and CPE.
