Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA®) is a wireless communication system capable of supporting
high data rate mobile communication at vehicular speeds of up to 250 miles per hour. The MEA
system is designed to allow standard client hosts with a PCMCIA interface to have a mobile
broadband Ethernet connection. The MEA system works transparently to the client host in a
manner similar to an Ethernet connection. MEA provides Internet Protocol based data and
location services. Its geo-location accuracy and availability is better than ±10 meters within 1
second. It is capable of supporting subscribers traveling up to 100 miles per hour.

the core network. The Network Administrator controls access to the core network. This
document provides detailed installation and configuration instructions for installing the MEA
WMC6300 Wireless Modem Card and supporting software.
