Mesh Network Overview, Features and Technologies

A Mesh Network is a networked collection of devices, or nodes, arranged in such a way that each device as multiple paths
that it can use to send or forward packets of data that come its way. Mesh Networks are “Self Healing” – This allows
blocked or broken pathways to automatically reconfigure and use other nodes as alternate paths through the network.
Mesh Networks also allow nodes to supply backhauls to other nodes in the same network, thereby extending the network
and allowing for growth.

Who Can Benefit

Mesh Networks can serve as indoor or outdoor networks run by Wireless Internet Service Providers, or Enterprises with
large outdoor deployments. Municipalities and public safety organizations may wish to extend their fibre networks
wirelessly using fiber to wireless gateways, creating hotspots for intranet, internet and email communications. An 802.11
Mesh may also serve the outside portion of a campus network, or even a construction site. Mesh networks have the
capability to access both rural areas and extend to city agencies. Enterprise and residential users interested in VoIP and
video applications will have enhanced quality of service and greater broadband coverage.

Some of the Benefits

MotoMESH is cost effective, while still fully scalable using mesh scalable routing technologies. The use of special layer 2
routing protocols offer faster router convergence, healings and handoffs than its competitors. When MotoMESH duo is
used, 1 radio is used for backhaul purposes while the second is used for customer data, providing additional bandwidth for
customer applications and data. Capacity can be increased over the air, requiring no personnel intervention in the field.
This decreases cost and increases return on investment. MotoMESH radios and access points are light weight, small in
size and energy efficient. Motorola’s Mesh Planner software helps customers fully plan their Mesh networks. Motorola
also uses proprietary software called MeshConnex which combines the best of proactive and reactive routing techniques,
setting it apart from its competitors. Quality of service standards (QOS) allow service providers and municipalities to enjoy
profitable revenue streams from voice and video services.

Quality of Service and Security

Dual radio systems support both 802.11e and 802.1p Quality of Service Standards, allowing providers to offer
sophisticated video services and high quality VoIP applications with upgrades performed over the air. MotoMESH
provides enhanced wireless security and encryption using a proprietary security algorithm called SecureMesh, in
conjunction with the highest available encryption standard in wireless broadband networks today - WPA2.
