WFI Selects ClearMesh Networks for High-Capacity Wireless Network; ClearMesh Metro Grid Provides Alternative, High-Capacity Wireless Solution, More Cost-Effective Than Fiber, and Robust Enough to Handle Multiple Applications.PASADENA, Calif. -- ClearMesh Networks today announced that Wireless Facilities, Inc. (WFI WFI Wide Field Imager WFI Water For Injection WFI Wireless Facilities Inc. WFI Workforce Florida, Inc. WFI WaterFurnace International WFI Wraparound Fidelity Index WFI Water For Irrigation WFI Washington Food Industry (Olympia, WA) ), the largest independent RF network and wireless engineering company, has selected and deployed ClearMesh's next-generation wireless optical mesh solution to build a high capacity, robust, and reliable 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. for the San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. Westfield UTC Westfield UTC, formerly University Towne Centre (UTC), is an open-air shopping mall in the University City community of San Diego, California. It lies just east of La Jolla, near the University of California, San Diego campus. shopping center shopping center, a concentration of retail, service, and entertainment enterprises designed to serve the surrounding region. The modern shopping center differs from its antecedents—bazaars and marketplaces—in that the shops are usually amalgamated into . Powered by the ClearMesh Metro Grid(TM), WFI's new wireless network supports over 155 shops, 25 eateries, and an ice-skating rink. WFI chose ClearMesh Networks because it provided the most cost-effective fiber-grade wireless solution with enough capacity to handle multiple applications. These include sensitive point-of-sale transaction traffic, a Wi-Fi "hot zone," and high bandwidth video streams from more than 70 surveillance cameras mall-wide. With ClearMesh, WFI can now offer a scalable network capable of aggregating large amounts of video traffic, while maintaining business-grade LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. communication services for mission critical applications. "ClearMesh offered the most cost effective wireless solution combining fiber-grade service quality and necessary capacity, with integrated mesh switching capability," said Desmond Wheatley, President of WFI's Enterprise Services Division. "Additionally, the powerful centralized management capabilities allow us to manage Westfield UTC and other project deployments from one centralized NOC (Network Operations Center) A central or regional location for monitoring a large network. Also called a "network management center" (NMC), "service management center" (SMC) or "network control center" (NCC), a NOC may be used to manage a large enterprise network, . This is an essential capability for our managed solution business." The ClearMesh Management System (CMS (1) See content management system and color management system.

End-to-end mesh visibility, monitoring and reporting tools provide a unified view of any WFI deployment that is utilizing the Metro Grid solution. The Metro Grid wireless optical mesh is based on interference-free wireless technology and operates in a license-free spectrum, making it an ideal replacement for costly fiber access distribution. The Metro Grid solution enables service providers to deliver business-class services ranging from 5 to 100 Mbps in a matter of days and at a fraction of the cost of trenching fiber. The Metro Grid architecture can be comprised of many distributed property mesh deployments, tying together tenants in hundreds of buildings across several metro areas, business parks or campus deployments. These are securely managed across the Internet from one central NOC, using the carrier-grade ClearMesh Management System. "The success of this project reinforces that the ClearMesh Metro Grid delivers high capacity, secure, and robust network solutions at an affordable price," said Suresh Nihalani, President & 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. for ClearMesh Networks.
