Mesh Features
100% IP Based, allowing interoperability with other agencies
over the internet
Data throughput of up to 6 Mbps
Simultaneously transmits voice, data and video
Provides Location Based Services within 10 meters
Supports mobility up to 350km/h
Resistant to Interference—Line of Sight NOT Required
Requires less power – Dynamic Powering
No expensive base station infrastructure needed.
Every device acts as a “repeater or router” for every other
device and becomes part of the network.
Integrated with traditional 802.1x technology, Mesh can be
used as the back-haul that will allow long range, high speed
connectivity.
NO network CABLING to transmitters, any power saves cost.

Wireless to the Max – WiMAX
 802.16a - non-line-of-site, point
to multi-point, last mile wireless
broadband solution
 Supports 2 to 11 Ghz range up to
40 Kilometers
 Supports 1,000’s of users at an
aggregated thoughput of up to
70Mbps
 Primarily designed for licensed
spectrum (QOS) – supports
carrier grade voice and video
 802.16a will co-exist with 802.11
supplying the backhaul
 As 802.16a client devices scale
down competition increases with
802.11
 802.16e will add mobility moving people not to compete
with Cellular
