HotPoint + HotPort Network Applications
Wi-Fi Networks
Together, HotPoints and HotPorts allow you to quickly deploy Wi-Fi service
anywhere. The Firetide mesh provides more flexibility for Wi-Fi deployment
than other mesh solutions because it can support existing third-party APs
as well as Firetide HotPoint APs. Each HotPort can support up to four APs,
so high-density Wi-Fi can be deployed at a lower cost than using mesh
nodes that are limited to a single access point.
Voice over IP
The HotPort mesh network enables clear VoIP traffic over the wireless back-
bone. Both wired and wireless VoIP phones support Class-of-Service priori-
tization which enables you to assign high priority to voice traffic to ensure
the best quality voice transmission.
Video
The high capacity and sustained throughput of the HotPort network makes
it ideal for IP video networks and video surveillance applications, espe-
cially those requiring multiple cameras or faster frame rates. Wi-Fi cameras
are not needed because any camera with an Ethernet interface can connect
directly to a HotPort mesh node. HotPort outdoor mesh nodes also sup-
port Power over Ethernet, allowing the use of a single power connection to
power both the node and the camera.
