Antaira Unveils Plug-and-Play Airolinx Go MAX Wireless Kit
The preconfigured IP67 wireless bridge kit reduces installation time for outdoor security and ITS networks.

Antaira Airolinx Go MAX is an outdoor, IP67-rated, preconfigured wireless bridge kit purpose-built for Security and Intelligent Transportation Systems deployments where fast installation, predictable performance, and low total cost are important.
Antaira Technologies has introduced the Airolinx Go MAX, a preconfigured point-to-point (PtP) wireless bridge kit designed to streamline outdoor wireless backhaul deployments. Purpose-built for Security and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), the kit combines rugged hardware with Antaira's new Airolinx Go Studio software to compress multi-hour commissioning processes into minutes, eliminating the need for complex on-site IP configurations or extensive service calls.
To address the challenges of harsh outdoor environments and rapid deployment, the IP67-rated kit ships as a matched pair of pre-paired radios utilizing a transparent Layer 2 bridge architecture. Once powered via active 802.3at Power over Ethernet (PoE), the link forms automatically. Each unit features a dual-chain (2x2) 5GHz radio capable of delivering speeds up to 2,400 Mbps, paired with an integrated 19dBi panel antenna. Optimized for video-grade applications, the system is tuned to maintain consistent, high throughput over a 1.5 to 4-mile (2.4 to 6.5 km) line-of-sight range.
Installation is further simplified by the Airolinx Go Studio software, which utilizes Layer 2 discovery to identify and configure devices before any IP assignment occurs. The software provides installers with a guided workflow for security setup, RF channel optimization, real-time antenna alignment via live signal feedback, and automated link test reporting. While preconfigured for PtP operations out of the box, the architecture is scalable; operators can transition to a point-to-multipoint (PtMP) network by adding the optional AIROLINX-GOMAX-BASE-IP67-T base unit. The entire system is rated for extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 75°C and is backed by a five-year warranty.

This section provides technological and market background not explicitly detailed in the original release.
In Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and large-scale perimeter security, deploying high-definition IP cameras across vast geographical areas often makes trenching new fiber-optic cables financially and logistically prohibitive. Wireless backhaul using the 5GHz unlicensed spectrum offers a cost-effective alternative, but configuring these links traditionally requires advanced IT networking skills to manage IP subnetting and RF interference mapping. By operating as a transparent Layer 2 bridge, the Airolinx Go MAX essentially acts as an invisible Ethernet cable over the air, passing MAC addresses directly without requiring complex routing protocols at the edge node. Furthermore, the 5GHz frequency band is highly susceptible to RF noise and line-of-sight obstructions. Incorporating a 19dBi directional panel antenna concentrates the RF energy into a narrow beam, significantly increasing the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). This high-gain directional approach is critical for maintaining the strict latency and jitter requirements necessary for continuous, artifact-free video streaming from remote field cabinets.
