Spectrum
Flexibility
|
HotPort mesh nodes
operate in the unlicensed spectrum at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. With
judicious frequency and channel
selection, you can deploy multiple mesh networks in close
proximity. |
|
Built-in 4-port Ethernet Switch
|
Four
10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports can be used to connect equipment (access
points, digital video cameras, IP phones, PCs and printers) or to
interface with other networks. |
|
Network Gateway Interconnect
|
Any node
can interface with another LAN, MAN or WAN as an NGI. Multiple
NGIs connected to the same network, such as the Internet, offer
enhanced redundancy (with load-balancing and automatic failover) and
improved throughput. |
|
MeshBridgeTM
|
MeshBridge
feature enables internetworking among multiple HotPort mesh networks to
form a single LAN or WAN environment with up to 1,000 mesh nodes,
enhancing throughput and simplifying management of large-scale
networks. |
|
Class
of Service
|
Three
levels of CoS
allow you to prioritize traffic to improve mesh performance,
especially in "triple play" data, voice and video applications. |
|
Virtual
LANs
|
Traffic
segmentation affords greater privacy, and enhances mesh performance and
scalability by allowing traffic to be directed along specific VLAN
routes. |
|
Traffic Encryption
|
128-
or 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard provision
ensures security of the HotPort mesh. External encryption,
such as with a virtual private network (VPN), is preserved as traffic
traverses the mesh network. |
|
Mesh Management
Software
|
Each
HotPort node includes HotView mesh management software for basic mesh
configuration and monitoring. Optional HotView Pro software
enables control of large mesh environments and multiple
networks. MultiMesh, SNMP Management, Web-based Client and
MeshBridge features are supported only by HotView Pro. |
