7 Wireless Options

8 Wireless Infrastructure Topologies Point to Multi-Point Point to Point Multi-Point to Multi-Point (Mesh) Wi-Fi Access

9 Why is Redundancy Important?  Wireless gear is very reliable….  …but it is frequently installed on light poles which aren’t

10 Not All ‘Wireless Mesh’ Created Equal

11 Imagine a Traditional Wired Switch (Wired Ethernet infrastructure) Most efficient mesh utilizes L2 distributed wireless switch architecture

12 Now, Give Each Port Wireless Capability (Wired Ethernet infrastructure)

13 Separate the Ports… (Wired Ethernet infrastructure) Bingo, a Virtual Ethernet Switch!

14 Metro-scale Mesh Networks  Wi-Fi access  Radiological or chemical threat detection  Gun-shot detection

15 Key Technology Differentiators Customer Benefit Infrastructure Mesh Mesh APPtPPtMP Scalability for video Security Infrastructure Mobility Backhaul requirement Every hopsEvery 2-3 hopsEvery linkEvery base station Investment Protection Indoor and outdoor, multiple applications (data, video, voice) Indoor and outdoor, access point based, data support only Outdoor only, complex network management, no scalability Outdoor only, complex network management, limited scalability
