Delivers High-Performance Wireless Mesh Routing

 AirMesh MSR2000 delivers high-performance wireless 

mesh routing to outdoor environments where wired connectivity is 

impractical or unavailable.

Ruggedized and hardened to withstand extreme environmental 

conditions, the MSR2000 is ideal for deployment in metropolitan 

and industrial areas, oilfields, mines, and shipping ports. 

A multi-radio, multi-frequency architecture and adaptive Layer 3 

routing using the Aruba MeshOS™ operating system make the 

MSR2000 unique. Together, they provide unparalleled capacity, 

reliability, low latency and seamless handoffs for voice, HD-quality 

video and other real-time applications.

The MSR2000 consists of two independent 802.11n radios for 

flexible outdoor wireless mesh deployments using the 2.4-GHz, 

5-GHz and 4.9-GHz band.

Each radio may be configured to operate as a Wi-Fi access point 

(AP) or as a point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and full mesh 

backhaul. This dual-radio architecture separates client access and 

mesh backbone data while optimizing radio resources for both 

types of traffic to ensure high throughput and low latency.

Integrated with Aruba MeshOS, Adaptive Wireless Routing™ (AWR™) 

technology automatically optimizes traffic routes between wireless 

mesh routers and creates a truly adaptive mesh infrastructure.

With AWR, the mesh infrastructure adjusts dynamically to traffic 

levels and RF signal strength to ensure high availability and optimal 

performance across multiple network hops.

Aruba’s MobileMatrix™, another key MeshOS Layer 3 technology, 

allows Wi-Fi clients to move between wireless mesh routers in 

less than 50 milliseconds, maintaining a seamless connection for 

latency-sensitive applications, such as video and voice.

For HD-quality video from mobile and fixed surveillance cameras, 

monitors and recording systems, the Active Video Transport™ 

(AVT™) technology in MeshOS provides traffic management and 

load balancing across the mesh.

AVT uses deep packet inspection, MAC protocol optimization, in-

network retransmission protocol and adaptive video jitter removal 

to deliver enhanced video at up to 30 frames per second.

In addition to reducing capital and operating expenses by simplifying 

deployment, the MSR2000 eliminates the high cost of installing 

copper or fiber-optic cabling, as well as monthly fees for leased lines, 

digital subscriber line (DSL) and metro Ethernet services.
