What is the Dynamic Bridge ?

• Why Dynamic Bridge ?
• Dynamic Bridge Overview
• Dynamic Bridge Customers
• Dynamic Bridge Application

Auto discovery and auto configuration when installation
     1.) No complex manually configurations
     2.) Increase bridge network scalability
     3.) Cut down the cost of bridge network manual installation

Auto recovery when the bridge link is failover
     1.) Minimize the lost of WLAN operation
     2.) Seamless and minimize perceptible interruption
     3.) Cut down the cost of going on-site to re-establish bridge link

Dynamic Bridge Highlight

• Auto Discovery
  1.) Non-root bridged APs survey the nearby root bridged AP automatically when starting up
  2.) Collect the potential root bridged AP information, including network ID and signal strength
• Auto Configuration
  1.) Non-root bridged AP choose the root AP with the same network ID
  >> If multiple root APs have the same network ID with the non-root AP, the root AP with the best signal strength and least child nodes will be chosen.
  2.) Non-root AP sets up egress bridge link with the chosen root AP
• Auto Recovery
  1.) Periodically monitor if the remote peer is still alive, if not:
  >> Root bridged AP: remove the bridge link
  >> Non-root bridged AP: auto repeat the bridge link setup process to choose another root bridged AP for egress link
• Simple manually configuration and maintenance
  1.) Very few bridge parameters are necessary to set manually
  >> Network ID is necessary to set on both root AP and non-root AP for setting up the bridge network
  >> If request security, security settings are needed to be specified
  

Dynamic Bridge Mode - 1

• Point to Multiple Point (only supports one hop)
  1.) Root bridged AP: two RF radios all act as bridge mode for more bridge links, high performance and increasing reliability. The Ethernet port is used for connecting backhaul
  2.)Non-root bridged AP: one RF radio sets up egress bridge link with root AP and the other is used for accessing link with wireless clients
• Characteristics of PtMP (only supports one hop)
  1.) High reliability and high performance
  >> Some Root AP with same network ID can be installed together
  2.) Super quality can meet many applications’ request even with only one hop
  >> Large range for bridge links and large access coverage
  >> Super raw data rate(108Mbps on 5GHz)
  >> Up to 16 bridge links supporting
  3.) Bridging and accessing link simultaneously
  >> Non-root AP acts as egress bridge link and AP access link at the same time
  >> No extra AP devices are needed
  4.) Easy installation and maintenance and high scalability

Dynamic Bridge Mode - 2

• Point to Multiple Point (support multiple hops) – next version
  1.) Root AP: two RF radios both act as bridge mode
  2.) non-root AP: two RF radios both for bridge links, one for egress link and the other for ingress link
  3.) Extra simple AP device for wireless accessing link
• The characteristics of PtMP (support multiple hops) – next version
  1.) High reliability and high performance
  >> Different and non-overlapping channels for ingress and egress links
  >> Some Root AP with same network ID can be installed together
  2.) Multiple hops makes setting up network more flexible
  >> Multiple hops solve NLOS issue if there are barriers between two bridge peer
  >> The wireless repeater concept is used for wireless bridging larger distance
  3.) Only have bridge link
  >> Extra simple AP is needed for accessing link
  4.) Easy installation and maintenance and high scalability
