Firetide HotPort 6000

KEY APPLICATIONS
Municipalities: True multi-service networks providing a single infrastructure for video, public Wi-Fi access, enterprise VPN, and voice traffi c.
Security and public safety: High-performance surveillance video with optimal frame rates and image resolution, giving you the ability to make any IP camera a "wireless" device.
Transportation: Reliable Wi-Fi access with high speed mobility and sustained bandwidth over a linear topology.

 

DESCRIPTION

HotPort 6000 mesh nodes provide reliable Ethernet connectivity over a high-performance, self-forming wireless mesh backbone — indoors, outdoors, or onboard moving vehicles. All HotPort nodes have multiple Ethernet ports for connecting network devices or other networks to the wireless mesh.

HotPort 6000 mesh nodes provide up to 70 Mbps throughput and operate at 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz (U.S. public safety licensed band), or 5 GHz. Depending on the model, HotPort 6000 nodes are equipped with either single or dual radios, operating at 400 mW.

Designed for seamless indoor and outdoor operation, the HotPort mesh network securely handles concurrent video, voice, and data applications, making it ideal for municipal, public safety, and industrial networks. The mesh's self-forming and self-healing properties enable rapid deployment and dependable operation. Firetide's AutoMesh™ routing protocol manages network load and traffic congestion to optimize mesh-wide performance and capacity.

Firetide's end-to-end solution includes HotPort nodes for mesh infrastructure, HotPoint® access points for wireless access, HotView™ software for a complete management system, and HotView Controller™ for mesh and client mobility.
