Firetide Mobility Solution Differentiation
Fiber-like reliability and performance on a wireless network
Redundancy
• True redundant mesh topology, every node has a connection with every other node
in the network. Inherent self-healing and load balancing capabilities ensure failsafe
operations.
Linear Scalability
• “mobile” nodes attach to available static nodes on a single radio which is optimized
to transfer data while moving at high speeds.
Lowest Latency
• Scalable networks with no degradation in throughput and performance. Supports up
to 15 hops at < 1ms per hop.
Performance
Security
11
• Flow-based routing helps to balance traffic across the mesh, optimize aggregate
throughput, and increase network performance.
•
256-bit key size AES encryption coupled with end-to-end packet transmission.
