| MeshDynamics Demanding military and security wireless applications require secure, high-speed connectivity for data, video and voice. MeshDynamics's MD4000 family of wireless mesh nodes deliver superior performance over multiple hops in fixed and mobile applications. The products have been extensively tested, and deployed in combat environments, along security perimeters and national borders, and in video surveillance environments.Patented and patent-pending technology utilizes multiple backhaul radios to provide near-instantaneous network set-up, node mobility at speeds up to 250mph, high bandwidth, and minimal delay and jitter..MOBILE MESH NODE NETWORKSEach MeshDynamics wireless mesh node incorporates a sophisticated RF 'robot' which monitors the radio environment to locate adjacent nodes and avoid interfering and jamming sources. Each node operates in an independent yet coordinated manner to build the network topology. In mobile environments, high performance is maintained as the node automatically and transparently connects to other stationary or mobile nodes.In a deployed combat environment, vehicle-mounted MeshDynamics MD4000 wireless mesh nodes demonstrated reliable connectivity between multiple convoy vehicles in simultaneous motion. The threat sensor application supported by the MeshDynamics network operated flawlessly as the vehicles moved through a rugged outdoor environment.WIRELESS BORDER SURVEILLANCEBorder and perimeter security environments demand high performance over extended distances for date, voice and surveillance and tactical video. In most cases, wired or fiber connectivity is unavailable, so the network must be delivered wireless over many hops (node to node connections). MeshDynamics' patented and patent pending third-generation wireless mesh architecture delivers bandwidth with minimal delay and jitter over many hops. In addition, the MeshDynamics network functions as a Layer 2 switch infrastructure, transparent to a wide variety of sensor and video streams.In a successful long-term pilot network across a national border, MeshDynamics nodes are providing connectivity for a variety of security applications to mobile border security forces. Node-to-node distances reach up to 14 miles.EMERGENCY RESPONSE NODE NETWORKSMeshDynamics products are currently utilized in a variety of hastily formed military and civilian networks. Threat sensors, data, video and even sports-scoring applications are supported over MeshDynamics networks that deploy over broad geographical areas in a few minutes. Network start-up is automatic and immediate when power is applied to the nodes.No site survey or channel pre-configuration is necessary: the distributed dynamic radio intelligence in each node manages the complete network set-up process. MeshDynamics units are extremely compact and rugged, making for limited transport cost and weight.RADIO NETWORKING ALGORITHMSMeshDynamics' powerful networking algorithms have been designed to work over a variety of civilian and military radio bands. Current products serve WiFi 802.11 a/b/g at 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz and public safety nets at 4.9GHz. Support for 900MHz, 700MHz and WiMAX bands is in development. Custom development capabilities are also available for military radios operating in a broad range of bands.MeshDynamics products support a variety of wireless command, control, communications and computing networks in military and homeland security applications worldwide. MeshDynamics has the capacity to customize solutions to ensure that they meet specific requirements with its innovative technology.DATA SECURITY AND PERFORMANCE FEATURES Extensive data security capabilities are provided, including WEP, WPA, WPA2, 128 bit AES encryption, 802.11i, and FIPS 140-2. Extensive VLAN and performance-tuning features are also standard, including support for 802.11e, protocol-based forwarding, and hidden SSIDs. army-technology.com |

C4i Awarded New Contracts Valued at Over $1m The board of LongReach Group Limited today announced that C4i Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the LongReach Group, has been awarded contracts with Ramco Dubai for the supply of an emergency response and control system for Abu Dhabi International Airport. This order coincides with AU$300k of new radio interface unit and service orders in the month of January, bringing total new orders over AU$1m for the month.C4i secured a deal for the design and delivery of its Generation III Alarmon product for the Abu Dhabi International Airport. The airport is undergoing a major expansion to make it a major hub in the Middle East region. This is the second Alarmon product in the Middle East and the first Generation III Alarmon system.The system will provide the emergency services at this major airport with integrated communications and alarm monitoring and control for the airport and its associated vehicles and buildings."C4i sees this contract as a major reference point not only for the Middle East but also in the public safety and emergency control and response markets. C4i is confident its Generation III product is well suited to these mission critical applications." said Peter Harrison, General Manager of C4i Pty Ltd.C4i has also successfully secured a number of service contracts in Australia and Radio Interface Unit (RIU) sales to US based customers. The RIU represents a distinct Generation III product line that was developed specifically for accessing remote radio equipment through an IP network.This news comes as C4i successfully completes the installation and commissioning of its Generation III system for the Royal Australian Air Force Regional Operations Command Centre. This major installation provides communications for aircraft over Australia. this is the ninth red/black system delivered, with previous customers in NATO and USAF. army-technology.com |
