The increasing prevalence of personal computers with high-speed broadband Internet access and networked home entertainment systems, along with advances in wireless technology, are all factors driving digital home networking. The line between personal computers and home entertainment devices is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish. Regardless of their classification, networking between these devices is a must - as content and services resident on one device will be shared with other devices. Various radio platforms are being proposed to provide broadband multimedia connectivity between these devices. As these radios push data rates higher, range and coverage issues (already a widespread problem noted by consumers) will become increasingly important. Consumers also expect that these devices will seamlessly connect out of the box. Most prefer not to be confronted with device configuration or complicated network set up.

MeshNetworks’ MeshConnex™ software addresses these and other issues facing the wireless digital home. It adds Multi-Hopping™ ad hoc networking that extends the range of wireless home networks by turning every device into a router/repeater. It’s self-forming, self-healing routing removes the network configuration burden from the user. Content hops between devices, increasing the range and reliability of the network. MeshConnex technology also offers built-in QOS and device priority management, a requirement for latency sensitive audio, video and voice services.

MeshConnex software leverages the features and benefits of MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA™) technology and brings them to industry standard 802.xx radio platforms. It also delivers high performance and scalable wireless networking to even the most “unwired” digital home networks by employing the same technology used to power the largest commercial mobile ad hoc networks in the world.
