MEA™/QDMA® Mobile Broadband Network Products

MeshNetworks offers a complete line of hardware components and software applications for the rapid deployment of high performance and scalable mobile broadband networks. These products are available from VARs, Systems Integrators and strategic OEMs listed in our MeshPartner Alliance. These products have been deployed in a wide range of applications, including public safety, transportation and municipal mobile broadband networks.

These products combine the scalable, high performance and patented mobile ad hoc networking found in our MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA™) technology with our high-performance QDMA radio. This results in a cost-effective, survivable, self-forming and self-healing wireless network solution for mission critical communications.

Our MEA™ Mobile Broadband solution is made up of six hardware and software elements: the WMC 6300 - Wireless Modem Card, the MWR 6300 - Mesh Wireless Router, an IAP6300 - Intelligent Access Point, EWR6300 - Enhanced Wireless Router, PWR6300 - Portable Wireless Router, and the VMM6300 - Vehicle Mounted Modem, MiSC - Mobile Internet Switching Controller.

WMC6300 - Wireless Modem Card

MeshNetworks offers a complete Wireless Modem Card in a PCMCIA form factor. By simply inserting the wireless modem card, up to 6 Mbps burst data rates for streaming audio and video, fast and accurate position location, and voice services can be added to any device with a PCMCIA card slot.

Wireless Modem Cards can also act as Wireless Routers in a MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA) mobile broadband network. This increases network robustness and coverage at no additional cost.

Finally, clients with Wireless Modem Cards can instantly form Multi-Hopping™ ad hoc, peer-to-peer, broadband networks - without using any network infrastructure.

MWR6300 - Mesh Wireless Router

The Wireless Router is a small, low-cost, wireless device that is primarily deployed to guarantee wireless coverage in large geographic areas, campuses or in-building applications. It enables non-line-of-sight communications between Clients and Intelligent Access Points (IAP), in a MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA) mobile broadband network. Wireless Routers are typically used to seed new network deployments to ensure sufficient coverage while the client population is growing.

Wireless Routers Also Provide:

  • Range extension between the client and IAPs
  • Fixed reference points for position location services
  • Provide coverage in hotspot/in-building applications

IAP6300 - Intelligent Access Point

In a MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA) mobile broadband network, the Intelligent Access Point is a small, low-cost device that acts as the transition point from the wireless network to the wired world. Each IAP offers a maximum burst rate of up to 6 Mbps that can be used for voice, video and data communications. If greater network capacity is required, additional IAPs can be easily deployed - without the need for extensive RF or site planning. The location of IAPs is non-critical due to the self-forming, self-healing and self-balancing nature of the MEA network.

IAPs Also Provide:

  • Local network management of Wireless Routers and Client Devices
  • Fixed reference point for position location services
  • Mobility management

EWR6300 - Enhanced Wireless Router

The Enhanced Wireless Router (EWR) is deployed to guarantee wireless coverage in large geographic areas while providing wireless network access to one or more IP devices via its built-in RJ45 Ethernet port. The EWR efficiently combines the functionality of a Meshnetworks Wireless Router and client modem in a single, cost-effective, wireless network component. This makes it easy for any Ethernet ready device to access a Mesh-Enabled Architecture (MEA) mobile broadband network. Computers, IP video cameras (as pictured at right), sensors, signs, signals, etc. can all be Mesh-Enabled to send and receive data at burst rates of up to 6 Mbps. All of the standard Wireless Router functionality, including Multi-Hopping, non-line-of-sight communications and position location services, is fully supported.

Enhanced Wireless Routers Also Provide:

• Range extension between clients and IAPs
• Fixed reference points for position location services
• Up to 3 assignable IP addresses

PWR6300 - Portable Wireless Router

The Portable Wireless Router (PWR) is deployed to provide wireless network access to one or more IP devices via a standard, RJ45 Ethernet port, while providing wireless access over large geographic areas. The PWR efficiently combines the functionality of a MeshNetworks Wireless Router and subscriber modem in a single, cost-effective, wireless network component. This makes it easy for any Ethernet-ready device to access a MeshNetworks-Enabled Architecture (MEA™) mobile broadband network.

Computers, IP video cameras, sensors, signs, signals, etc. can all be MeshNetworks enabled to send and receive data at burst rates of up to 6 Mbps. All of the standard Wireless Router functionality, including Multi-Hopping, non-line-of-sight communications and position location services, is fully supported.

Portable Wireless Routers Also Provide:

• Range extension between clients and IAPs
• Fixed reference points for position location services
• Up to 3 assignable IP addresses

VMM6300 - Vehicle Mounted Modem

Compact and ruggedly designed, the MeshNetworks Vehicle Mounted Modem (VMM) turns a vehicle into a mobile office. Mobile Data Terminals (MDT), IP video cameras, and other IP ready devices can access a high-speed, mobile broadband network via a standard RJ45 Ethernet Port. This low cost, high performance, wireless modem supports up to 6 Mbps burst data rates at speeds of over 100 mph.

The VMM provides high bandwidth access to mission-critical information on the move. Remote database inquiries, on-scene report submission, multi-megabyte file transfers and live video streams will make field personnel more efficient. The VMM also supports real-time position location without relying on GPS.

Like all MEA products, the VMM acts as a wireless router/repeater – automatically extending the range, robustness and performance of the wireless network.
