Note: To better reflect the value of Netronics products we are changing the name of our
product family from NetPoint to NetPoint Pro, consequently the name for the existing product
with 6 antennas will be NetPoint Pro 6X2.4.
The new product name emphasizes the difference in architecture (Multiple Radio system) and
the value to customer, superiority in performance (coverage, capacity, indoor penetration and
immunity to interference) of Netronics WiFi base station over any other standard outdoor WiFi
access point products available in the market.

Introduction
The NPP 6X2.4 is a new category of Wi-Fi Base Station designed from the ground up for metro-
Wi-Fi deployments. It is based on six antennas and radios and custom-built ASICs, utilizes
Netronics's powerful multi-antenna signal processing technologies, and provides significant
performance gains to off-the-shelf 802.11 standards-based Wi-Fi clients.
The NPP 6X2.4 may be mounted on streetlights or rooftops and may be easily interfaced with
either wired internet connections, wireless mesh or backhaul equipment. Multiple power options
are provided for maximum flexibility.
Complete management of the NPP 6X2.4 is provided through SNMP, a graphical user interface,
and SYSLOG services.
The NPP 6X2.4 Wi-Fi Base Station uses six omni-directional antennas and beam-forming
technology in order to provide significant performance gains to off-the-shelf 802.11 standards-
based Wi-Fi clients.
