Network Router User Manual

MWR6300 MESH Wireless Router Mobile Broadband Nework Solutions
FACT SHEET
Motorola's MESH wireless networking technology
creates an instant, ad hoc broadband network with
other users, giving everyone high speed data access
with mission critical applications - anywhere, anytime.
Real-time information delivered over MESH's ad hoc
network or via existing infrastructure informs, alerts
and enables users to optimise their response.
The MESH Wireless Router (MWR) is a small,
low-cost, wireless device that is primarily
deployed to guarantee wireless coverage over
large geographic areas, campuses or in-building
applications. It enables non-line-of-sight
communications betw
een client devices and
Intelligent Access Points (IAP), in a MESH
Enabled Architecture (MEA) mobile broadband
net
w
ork. W
ireless routers are typically used to
seed new network deployments to ensure
sufficient coverage while the client device
population is gro
wing.
MESH wireless routers also pro
vide:
• R

ween the client
device and IAP's
• Fixed reference points for position
and location services
• Provide coverage in hotspot/in-building
applications
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Compact and lo

W
ireless R
outers use the same transceiv
er
technology developed for Motorola's Wireless
Modem Cards (WMC630
0). This results in a
compact, lo

and non-line-of-sight operation.
Easy to install and deploy
Wireless Routers are designed for simple and
adaptable mounting on existing infrastructure
such as utility company poles, advertising
billboards or on the sides or roofs of buildings.
Simple mounting hardware and a plug-in power
connection speeds deployment - no special
training or skills are required. When deployed,
Wireless Routers automatically power-up and
integrate into the network. No manual
provisioning or configuration is needed.
Supports end-to-end industry
standard IP
As one part of the MEA solution, MESH
Wireless Routers transparently support end-to-
end, industry standards-based Internet Protocol
(IP) applications and devices.

Automatic network balancing
MESH Wireless Routers intelligently balance

c bet
ween client device demand and
network resources. Client devices are routed
around local congestion, while multi-hopping
tec
hnology enables capacity from dist
ant access
points to be “moved” to exactly where it is
needed. Network resource utilisation is
continually optimised, reducing net
