CALABASAS, Calif. -- Strix Systems, the leader in high-performance wireless mesh networking, today announced that WiFiFee has deployed a combination of Strix's Access/One Network Indoor (IWS) and Outdoor Wireless Systems (OWS) to deliver high-speed Wi-Fi access to the residents of the River's Edge and Forest Pointe apartment complexes in New York. After site survey evaluations of competing single- and dual-radio mesh architectures, WiFiFee determined that Strix's multi-radio, multi-RF, multi-channel mesh solution provided the best possible cost-effective coverage for high-performance wireless broadband Internet service to residents in Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) settings.

"Our evaluation proved that the combination of Strix's indoor and outdoor systems would provide the best coverage, because users want seamless coverage in public areas as well as inside their own units," said Brian Epstein, chief executive officer for WiFiFee. "Strix's multi-radio approach gives the most optimal wireless broadband coverage both inside and out while providing performance and capacity that rivals that of wired networks at a fraction of the cost."

WiFiFee provides Internet access at over 2,400 locations worldwide, including airports, RV parks, hotels, and residential communities. WiFiFee's deployment at the River's Edge Apartments in Green Island, New York, covers 190 units across 20 separate buildings. Strix's OWS product enables WiFiFee to distribute a single existing fiber optic Internet connection by beaming the broadband signal from the rooftop of a collocation site on one side of the Hudson River to the apartment complex on the other side of the river, which is then distributed throughout the apartments via multiple Strix IWS nodes to provide wireless broadband connectivity. Despite a drawbridge crossing the river that when raised interrupts the connection between the OWS node on the opposite side of the river and one of the IWS nodes at the apartment complex, Strix's multi-radio mesh easily and automatically re-routes all information to the surrounding IWS nodes to avoid any disruption of coverage.
