Reliable Connectivity Anywhere ™ HotPort ® 7000 (7010/7020) Wireless Mesh Nodes HotView Pro™ Management Software Viable Alternative to Fiber Inrastructure mesh technology rom Firetide provides municipal, industrialand enterprise users with the bandwidth needed to expand the reach otheir e xisting networks, while adding a variety oxed and mobile applications: city-wide video surveil- lance, trac management and intelligenttransportation systems, Wi-Fi access or mobile city workers and wireless broadband or underserved areas. Convenient Upgrade Paths HotPort® 7000 mesh nodes ship as 802.1 1a/b/g/n dual-radio capable hardware, with enhanced unctionality enabled through sotware licenses. Projects that do notrequire 802.1 1n MIMO (multiple input, mul- tiple output) capacity or dual-radio capability can start with 802.11a/ b/g-enabled single- radio conguration. Dual-radio unctionality can easily be enabled through a sotware license at an additional cost. Similarly, a separate sotware license can enable MIMO unctionality or operation in 40 MHz chan- nels, and to take advantage o8 02.11n technology to achieve throughput oup to 300 Mbps outdoors and 400 Mbps indoors. Easier Deployments & Network ManagementUnlike wired networks, where deployment is cumbersome, the sel-orming nature othe Firetide mesh network ensures rapid deploy- ment olarge-scale networks. The HotPort7000 mesh eatures integrated spectrum analysis, network capacity planning and antenna alignment tools or easier deploy- ments and network management. Higher Reliability The HotPort 7000 nodes orm a multi- point to multi-point ad hoc wireless mesh network with no single point oailure. Unlike a wired network, where a cut in the cable could take several days to resolve, the Firetide mesh routes the trac immediately on an alternate link ensuring continuous service and network availability. Dual-radio Perormance To maximize perormance, dual-radio HotPort 7000 nodes support two radio modes. In the “bonded” mode, both radios are combined to operate as a single unitthat provides double the bandwidth oa sin- gle radio equivalent. In the “linear” mode, both radios operate independently enabling sustained bandwidth levels over an unlim- ited number ohops. This enables long linear topologies, such as when networking a railway line, and provides a sust ained level oservice to every node, which is also critical or large municipal networks. Quality oService Firetide's patented AutoMesh™ fow based routing protocol supports advanced load balancing and congestion control mecha- nisms or optimal routing within the mesh network. The HotPort 7000 mesh inrastruc- ture also provides extensive VLAN capabilities critical or deploying a multi-service network on a large scale.
