MEA/QDMA Network Layered Security Approach

MeshNetworks has implemented numerous security management practices and capabilities in the operations and architecture of its network. Figure 1 shows an overview of the layered security approach typically deployed in MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA™) networks that utilize the Quadrature Division Multiple Access (QDMA™) Radio protocol.

Implemented Security Features

  • Quadrature Division Multiple Access (QDMA™) air interface based on state of the art military technology
  • All transceivers are hardware authenticated and registered with the network to minimize insertion of unauthorized devices
  • All transceivers are software authenticated by a AAA server to minimize use of cloned or stolen devices
  • MeshNetworks’ architecture minimizes the impact of RF jamming, denial-of-service, and physical attacks to the network
  • End-to-end IP-based infrastructure supports VPN and other standards-based encryption schemes
  • Ad hoc architecture keeps data secure when hopping through intermediate terminals.
  • Buddy lists and personal firewalls protect subscriber devices from peer-to-peer attacks

As a result of this layered approach to wireless security, MEA-based networks typically offer the following benefits:

  • MeshNetworks solutions meet federal and local governments standards for data privacy
  • MEA based networks are resilient to interference, attacks, and failures
  • MeshNetworks’ technology is flexible and can incorporate new security approaches for the future
