HD Mesh Node

Section 2 Hardware Overview

The HD Mesh is an outdoor NEMA rated box that houses a Mikrotik 532 router. The router provides OSPF functionality on the routed ports that connect to two Trango Point to Point wireless backhaul radios which results in a layer 3 self healing wireless network. The other three Trango PoE ports can be used in conjunction with any Trango Access Point to provide wireless connections in a Point to Multipoint format. Each one of these PoE ports connects to an individual port on the router. This results in a unique broadcast domain for each Access Point yielding higher performance at each cell. The router board also connects to a MiniPCI CM9 wireless board that functions as a WiFi Access Point. This Access Point uses an Omni 8 dBi antenna to provide a hotspot solution. The other four ports on the router can be used with any Ethernet or IP devices and can be configured as bridge ports or router ports, for meeting different application requirements. The HD Mesh box is powered by 110 Volts AC for HD Mesh 1 and 220 Volts AC for HD Mesh 2. The box is design to operate in temperatures between -40º C to 60º C.
