ClearMesh Networks Introduces Next-Generation Wireless Optical Mesh Networking Solution.PASADENA, Calif. -- High Capacity, Secure, and Robust Solution Enables Service Providers to Extend the Reach of Fiber and Turbo-Charge Fixed Wireless Networks to Serve SMB Markets See SMB. ClearMesh Networks today announced the launch of its next generation wireless optical mesh solution, the ClearMesh Metro Grid(TM). The ClearMesh solution enables service providers to roll out business-class services at 5-100 Mbps to small and medium business (SMB (1) (Small to Medium-sized Business) Also called "SME" (small to medium-sized enterprise), it refers to companies that are larger than the small office/home office (SOHO), but not huge. ) markets. For the first time, service providers can leapfrog legacy copper and economically roll-out a fiber-grade wireless infrastructure without trenching fiber. ClearMesh Metro Grid technology extends the reach of metro Ethernet A metropolitan area network (MAN) that uses a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) backbone rather than SONET/SDH links. Ethernet offers a more economical alternative. In a Metro Ethernet network, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) may be deployed to provide quality of service (QoS). networks, where lateral expansion Lateral expansion (sometimes known as horizontal expansion), in economics, is the growth of a business enterprise through the acquisition of similar companies, in the hope of achieving economies of scale or economies of scope. of fiber would require significant up-front investment and months for deployment. Metro Grid complements existing WiFi and WiMAX service deployments by infusing additional bandwidth in high density metro areas This article is about the music production team.

For wireless Internet service providers Internet service provider (ISP) Company that provides Internet connections and services to individuals and organizations. For a monthly fee, ISPs provide computer users with a connection to their site (see data transmission), as well as a log-in name and password. , the ClearMesh Metro Grid provides the ability to economically serve the dense metro SMB market with high-bandwidth business-grade services beyond those offered by WiFi or WiMAX solutions. Operating in the license-free band, the ClearMesh solution enables wireless service providers to overcome the crowded RF spectrum and deliver high-quality services in dense metro areas. Now, Metro Ethernet service providers can cost-effectively deliver business-class Ethernet services in a matter of days and at a fraction of the cost of trenching fiber. This extends the fiber service providers' market by enabling them to reach a large number of medium-sized businesses and "light-up" underutilized core fiber. "Small and medium sized businesses increasingly rely on broadband connectivity for Internet-based, mission-critical applications," said Suresh Nihalani, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of ClearMesh Networks. "We provide a truly scalable access network solution, enabling service providers to deliver the necessary bandwidth to support high-margin service bundles including VoIP, network backup, video conferencing See videoconferencing. (communications) video conferencing - A discussion between two or more groups of people who are in different places but can see and hear each other using electronic communications. , multimedia and security, at an affordable price." Service providers can immediately begin to market fiber-grade Ethernet services and extend the physical reach of the Metro Grid as more customers sign up - a true pay-as-you-grow solution. The Metro Grid solution is immediately available and is comprised of two products, the ClearMesh 300(TM) (CM 300) node and the ClearMesh Management System (CMS (1) See content management system and color management system. (2) (Conversational Monitor System) Software that provides interactive communications for IBM's VM operating system. ). A Metro Grid deployment consists of ClearMesh 300 nodes which can be pole or roof-mounted. This integrated networking platform combines high-capacity Ethernet switching and low-cost wireless optical transport with business-grade Ethernet service delivery interfaces. Using secure optical transmission, the CM 300 can distribute up to 300 Mbps of wire-speed, ultra-low latency, and full-duplex service capacity. This allows service providers to deliver enough capacity to concurrently serve thousands of VoIP calls, video streams and Internet sessions. The ClearMesh Management System (CMS) gives service providers carrier-class tools for mesh-wide installation, diagnostics, service analysis and provisioning to support fast and efficient service deployment across the Metro Grid. About ClearMesh Networks ClearMesh is the only worldwide producer of next-generation, wireless optical mesh networking Mesh networking is a way to route data, voice and instructions between nodes. It allows for continuous connections and reconfiguration around broken or blocked paths by “hopping” from node to node until the destination is reached. equipment, enabling service providers to target broader metropolitan business markets. The Metro Grid allows service providers to build reliable and cost-effective fiber-grade access networks. With ClearMesh, service providers have the ability to leapfrog legacy copper to deliver 5-100 Mbps per customer with a license-free and interference-free wireless mesh See wireless mesh network. solution.
