Wireless Communication Mesh Network
Mesh-Link is a high bandwidth MIMO wireless Mesh IP communications network. Is is ideally Ideally suited to industrial and marine operations where a private encrypted communications network is required.
The system can exchange any type of network traffic including video, audio and general IP data between up to 144 nodes. Broadband communications are up to 87Mb/s or 44Mb/s in reduced MIMO mode.
The radios are self forming and self healing, they exchange data on a single frequency, thereby simplifying spectrum management. It offers excellent RF penetration and performance in the presence of reflections and multipath. With line of sight, the range between nodes can exceed 30km.
The system consists of a rugged Out Door Unit, which houses the radio and an In Door Unit. The two are connected via an IP67 rated cat6 cable. The rack-mounted IDU connects to the local LAN and supplies PoE power and a network connection to the ODU.
The DCU connects to the IDU over the LAN and supports a HDMI output so the system’s camera feeds can be displayed on a monitor via a HDMI cable.
Monitoring and user control of the system is achieved using the IDU screen and button interface, whilst a web interface supports configuration of the Mesh radio.
