Firetide Instant Mesh Networks 3
Firetide High-Performance Mesh Network
High Capacity
The HotPort mesh network provides exceptional performance and
scalability and is designed especially for high-bandwidth/low-
latency applications, such as real-time video, voice, and large
Wi-Fi HotZones. The HotPort system features high-performance
hardware and software that provides up to 25 Mbps sustained
throughput across the mesh network.
Scalable
The HotPort mesh network has a scalable architecture, allowing
expansion of the network from just a few nodes to many. To add
more nodes, you can simply copy the configuration from an exist-
ing node to the new nodes. Multiple mesh networks operating on
different radio spectrums or IP addresses can be physically con-
nected to each other to expand the overall network, while still
retaining their separate mesh identities.
Reliable
The self-healing architecture of the HotPort mesh network and its
redundant paths between nodes make it very reliable and fault
tolerant. Mesh traffic will reroute over a different path automati-
cally if a path becomes obstructed or if a node is taken out of
service or moved to another location.
