ArrowSpan Introduces the Fastest Mesh Network in the Market.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- First graph, third sentence of release should read: The MeshAP node is a Triple RF mesh access point, which uses a dedicated 802.11g radio for client connection and dual 802.11a as a backhaul connection, and it is able to boost the signal strength to 200m (656ft) in open space. (sted ...to 100m (1,300ft) in open space.). The corrected release reads: ARROWSPAN INTRODUCES THE FASTEST MESH NETWORK A communications network in which there are at least two pathways to each node. If one of the paths fails, the other is still available. A "fully meshed" network means that every node has a direct connection to every other node, which is a very elaborate and expensive architecture. IN THE MARKET ArrowSpan Inc., a global provider of Wi-Fi mesh solutions, is introducing the newest addition to its metro Wi-Fi portfolio. The MeshAP 3100 is the fastest mesh network in the market achieving 30Mbps at the fifth hop during an aggressive TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. test. The MeshAP node is a Triple RF mesh access point, which uses a dedicated 802.11g radio for client connection and dual 802.11a as a backhaul connection, and it is able to boost the signal strength to 200m (656ft) in open space. "With this breaking throughput achievement, not only does the MeshAP 3100 extend the hop count The number of point-to-point links in a transmission path. Since each link is terminated at a network device such as a router or gateway, the processing performed within the device to determine how to forward the packet adds overhead to the transmission. further, but it also provides the user with the most dependable mesh network around," said Max Lu, President/CEO of ArrowSpan. "The MeshAP 3100 is ideal for metropolitan and rural areas looking to improve productivity, increase safety and encourage economic development. This product can provide all of the above at an affordable price. It's a cost-effective alternative to wired technology." The 200mW (23dBm) access point offers users the ability to rapidly deploy a dependable wireless network in large geographical areas. The MeshAP 3100 supports WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) An IEEE standard security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks. Introduced in 1997, WEP was found to be very inadequate and was superseded by WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i. and WPA WPA: see Work Projects Administration. WPA in full Works Progress Administration later (1939–43) Work Projects Administration U.S. work program for the unemployed. to provide maximum security for the backhaul connection and protect the entire mesh network from hackers. The MeshAP 3100 is designed for communities large or small to deliver broadband services. Each node supports high-bandwidth and low latency Low latency allows human-unnoticeable delays between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics. This can be especially important for internet connections utilizing services such as online gaming and VOIP - VOIP is not as important as applications, and implements layer 2 mesh routing, providing excellent network performance. The access point consists of a weatherproof enclosure with an industrial grade temperature support -40xF to 131xF (-40xC to 55xC) that can withstand wind, rain, and extreme temperatures. ArrowSpan's multiple wireless path design for both backhaul and user traffic, eliminates adjacent AP signal interference and provides zero performance degradation. The MeshAP 3100 will be available online at http://www.arrowspan.com May 2007. About ArrowSpan, Inc ArrowSpan Inc. develops and manufactures next-generation Wi-Fi wireless mesh network (1) A network that relies on all nodes to propagate signals. Although the wireless signal may start at some base station (access point) attached to a wired network, a wireless mesh network extends the transmission distance by relaying the signal from one computer to another. solutions.
