Using Xwire technology for your network provides the following benefits:

• Reduces dependency of traditional wired broadband services

• Allows growth of network coverage—you can use it while you build it

• Increases network reliability by using multiple routing choices; outages will not cripple the entire network service

• Reduces deployment costs with simplified provisioning

• Eliminates hot spots and creates hot zones instead

• Replaces hard-wired broadband with a wireless backhaul

• Covers larger areas with a single infrastructure deployment

• Increases network reliability by using multiple routing choices

• Eases troubleshooting with self healing network architectures and intelligent, dynamic, self-tuning network configuration software

• Provides physical flexibility, as it is designed for both indoor and outdoor WAN deployment

• Easy to configure using Xwire Management, the Web-based management utility for administrators
