HotPort[tm] 7000 - 7010 / 7010(W)

HotPort[tm] 7000 - A cost-effective, viable alternative to fiber and the key to creating the fastest, most reliable and secure private wireless broadband network.

Expand Your Existing Networks

With HotPort 7000 series, you can expand the reach of your existing networks while adding a variety of fixed and mobile applications:

* City-wide video surveillance

* Traffic management and intelligent transportation systems

* Mobile Network Infrastructure for mobile city workers

* Wireless broadband for underserved areas

Easier Deployments & Network Management

Unlike wired networks, where deployment is cumbersome, the self-forming nature of the Firetide mesh network ensures rapid deployment of large-scale networks. The HotPort 7000 mesh features integrated spectrum analysis, network capacity planning and antenna alignment tools for easier deployments and network management.

Higher Reliability

The HotPort 7000 nodes form a multipoint to multi-point ad hoc wireless mesh network with no single point of failure. HotPort 7000 supports the ethernet direct feature, which creates a mesh routable link over Ethernet between two HotPort 7000 nodes for higher reliability.

Dual-radio Performance

To maximize performance, dual-radio HotPort 7000 nodes support two radio modes. In the ``bonded'' mode, both radios are combined to operate as a single unit that provides double the bandwidth of a single radio equivalent.

In the ``linear'' mode, both radios operate independently enabling sustained bandwidth levels at very low latency of around 1 ms per hop.

This enables long linear topologies, such as when networking a railway line.

Quality of Service

Firetide's patented AutoMesh[tm] technology supports advanced load balancing and congestion control mechanisms for optimal routing within the mesh network. The HotPort 7000 mesh infrastructure also provides extensive VLAN capabilities critical for deploying a multi-service network on a large scale. It enables true multiservice simulatenous transmission of video, voice and data over the same network.

Metro-scale Deployments

Firetide's network easily scales up to several hundreds of mesh nodes for city-wide deployment. Indoor and outdoor HotPort 7000 nodes feature dual or single configurable radios in the 2.4, 4.9 (U.S. public safety licensed band) and 5 GHz frequency ranges.

Multicast & Security

Firetide mesh provides reliable multicast capabilities, advanced security, including 802.11i support, dual-layer of FIPS140-2 certifiable 256-bit AES encryption, digital certificates on network elements, digitally signed firmware files, MAC based access control lists and VLAN based access control lists.

Convenient Upgrade Paths

HotPort 7000 mesh nodes ship as 802.11a/b/g/n dual-radio capable hardware, with enhanced functionality enabled through software licenses. Projects that do not require 802.11n MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) capacity or dual-radio capability can start with 802.11a/b/g-enabled single-radio configuration. Dual-radio functionality can easily be enabled through a software license at an additional cost. Similarly, a separate software license can enable MIMO functionality for operation in 40 MHz channels to take advantage of 802.11n technology and throughput of upto 150 Mbps per link and 300 Mbps on a bonded dual radio link on the wireless network.
