The Interface
Unlike other access points the Xclaim system has a very unique mobile application which acts as a central controller allowing easy adoption and quick setup. The mobile application also allows for basic statistic collection from all access points. The Xclaim Harmony application is available free on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The Harmony application is very clear and simple and more importantly it is secure, once an access point have been adopted by the application it cannot be accessed by another harmony application on a different phone/tablet.
The application is not the only method to configure an Xclaim access point, each AP comes with a simple and powerful web utility (Firmware 1.0.0.0.47 + only) which makes any Xclaim access point controller less and self sufficient. The web gui allows the creation of 4 seperate BSSID’s per radio and the set up of rate limited to simply restrict one use on a specified wireless SSID taking all the band width.
