The MX2, is a 3^rd generation dual-radio wireless platform providing the following features:

Support for one or two WLAN radios operating in the 802.11bg (2.4GHz @ 600mW), 802.11a (5GHz @ 600mW), 900MHz (700mW) and other licensed frequency bands (400mW-700mW), all at 54Mbps. An upcoming option for 300Mbps 802.11n will be available in the near future.
Integrated amplifier and GPS (low or high precision) options
Each radio can be configured independently to operate as a WiFi client, WiFi Access Point, Backhaul repeater or WiFi AP + Mesh Router.
Combinations of these modes can provide unique functionality including:
- Dual-channel mesh for channel diversity
- Mesh + WiFi client allows a vehicle to operate as part of a legacy WiFi network (eg. Modular Mining MasterLink, Cisco AP or other WiFi-capable mesh solution), while meshing with other vehicles for local connectivity (eliminating unnecessary data going across the backbone) or to enable vehicles that cannot directly access the backbone to remain connected via other vehicles by utilising the mesh features.
- AP/Mesh + Backhaul, eliminating the need to use multiple products
Integrated, mesh-aware VoIP registrar to ensure VoIP calls can be made directly between vehicles even in the absence of any connectivity to the backbone and/or central (corporate) VoIP servers. This allows operators to communicate with each other using the peer-to-peer capabilities of the mesh, with no reliance backbone connectivity.
Support for Personnel Tracking / Proximity Detection solution

APPLICATIONS

Machine Guidance. Increase Productivity with the ability to download design files into the onboard PC of a dozer/excavator to provide precise operator guidance. The same telemetry system can be used to provide real time information back to the main office for productivity measurements.

Position Monitoring. Use GPS technology to continuously determine the position of machines for safely working dozers around hazardous obstacles.

Proximity & Collision Detection. Improve the safety of operators and prevent damage to capital intensive assets by issuing operators with early warnings of hazards.

Remote Network Access. Nexis provides a high bandwidth wireless connection to transfer operation data back to the mine office.

Mobile Hotspots. Foremen, surveyors, mine managers have the ability to log into the network via Laptops and PDAs while out in the field. Nexis gives coverage in difficult to reach areas such as at the pit base or up against high pit walls.
