Cyclone backhaul modules (BHs) can connect Cyclone access point clusters to the point
of presence or be the backbone of a Metro WiFi mesh network. In other applications,
the backhaul modules can be used to provide connectivity for
◦ cell sites, in lieu of leased T1/E1 telecommunications lines.
◦ buildings in corporate or institutional campuses.
◦ remote sites, including temporary sites set up for relief efforts.
These BHs are available in 10- or 20-Mbps modulation rates from the factory. The rate is
distinguished as BH10 or BH20 in the Software Version field of the General Status tab
(in the Home page) of the module GUI.
For these and any other backhaul networks,
Table 6 provides a quick reference to
information that you would need to establish and maintain the Cyclone wireless backhaul
network.
