ArrowSpan Simplifies the Deployment Process of a Wi-Fi Mesh Network.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. -- ArrowSpan Inc., a global provider of Wi-Fi (WIreless-FIdelity) A logo from the Wi-Fi Alliance that certifies network devices comply with the IEEE 802.11 wireless Ethernet standards. In the early 2000s, Wi-Fi/802.11 became widely used (initially 802.11b, then 802. mesh Refers to an interconnect architecture that cross- connects several devices. See mesh network, wireless mesh network and switch fabric. (character) mesh - The INTERCAL name for hash. solutions, is simplifying the deployment process of a Wi-Fi 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. . Mesh deployment can be complicated and time consuming since most networks require users to provide an individual IP address for every unit in the entire network, but ArrowSpan is providing an alternative to the multiple IP address configuration. All the nodes in ArrowSpan's MeshAP family now require one IP address to configure See configuration. (software) configure - A program by Richard Stallman to discover properties of the current platform and to set up make to compile and install gcc. Cygnus configure was a similar system developed by K. . Carriers and service providers using ArrowSpan's products only have to assign one IP address for the entire mesh network, offering users the ability to deploy a mesh network, faster and easier. "Setting up and maintaining a network with multiple IP addresses is complicated and is a lot of work. We wanted to simplify the process and allow users the flexibility of setting up just one IP address, but still have the ability to manage multiple nodes," said Max Lu, President/CEO of ArrowSpan. ArrowSpan offers users a plethora plethora /pleth·o·ra/ (pleth´ah-rah) 1. an excess of blood. 2. by extension, a red florid complexion.pletho´ric pleth·o·ra n. 1. of products targeting indoor and outdoor mesh network solutions, including the high performance Triple RF MeshAP 5100/3100, the Multi-Frequency MeshAP 2180, the Dual RF MeshAP 2100 and the MeshAP 1100 Indoor. All of the access points provide users with an affordable, scalable and reliable solution that supports real time video, voice and data applications. Each MeshAP access point is also equipped with built-in management software to manage an entire mesh network without additional software cost.
