HD Mesh Node

Section 1 Introduction

Trango has developed a mesh architecture that maximizes up time reliability, while minimizing the constraints on actual data throughput. The Trango solution focuses the fail-safe functions at the most important element of the network, the backbone. Maintaining a robust, hi-speed and redundant mesh backbone is the most critical aspect of the network. The result is that HD Mesh provides system performance and reliability well beyond that of competing technologies.

Overview

Trango's HD Mesh wireless backbone radios are available in 4.9, 5.3 and 5.8 GHz frequency bands. Each HD Mesh micro cell base station includes an environmentally controlled enclosure with thermostat controlled heater and fan, nine port router, and can support up to six additional Ethernet devices (cameras, access points, etc.). HD Mesh is also designed to support WiMAX-ready radios and 802.11g for WiFi hotspots. This highly flexible and scalable system is built to grow with the needs of any network and like all Trango equipment, HD Mesh is designed for easy installation and maintenance.

The HD Mesh node box provides an innovative and easy method to create a self-healing hi-speed backbone ring for reliable delivery of wireless broadband connectivity. The HD Mesh system is ideal for high- capacity metro backhaul, broadband access, mesh systems bandwidth injection, WiMAX systems, VOIP traffic and IP-based video surveillance.
