  3. Mesh Network Introduction 3 / 39

  4. General Introduction • Mesh Network • Expandable/ Flexible Wireless Network • Just like base station for cellular phone, mesh network implement the technology to add, expand the wireless coverage with simply turn on a new node, the mesh AP. • Co-work, compatible with 11g/11a Wireless Network • Using the 802.11b/g, 2.4GHz ISM and/or 802.11a 5GHz, PLANET mesh AP can work with any existing WiFi system, including notebook with Centrino, WiFi phone and any other devices that using 802.11b/g technology. • PLANET Mesh Network solutions provides • Security • Scalability & Flexibility • Mobility • Efficient & Cost effective 4 / 39

  5. General Introduction • Typical Topology 5 / 39

  6. Access Point Access Point Access Point Why Mesh Network • The current IndoorWireless situation • Even ~ • Wireless AP needs wire • Wire means ~ • Cost • Time consuming • No flexibility • Results • Strict networking planning • Limited coverage 6 / 39

  7. Why Mesh Network • The current OutdoorWireless situation • 2 x APs • To provide Wireless Network need 2 APs • WDS • Worse bandwidth • Roaming • IP layer roaming?! • Results • Expansive • Hard to maintain Outdoor Access Point ( Dual-band AP) Outdoor Access Point 11Mbps Physical link: Yes IP session:Possibly changed Outdoor Access Point WDS 5.5Mbps Outdoor Access Point Physical link: Yes IP Session: Yes Outdoor Access Point 5.5Mbps Local Access Point 7 / 39

  8. Mobile IP Server Access Point Mesh AP Mesh AP Mesh AP Backhaul Link Mesh AP (Backhaul) Access Point Wireless Mesh node link Access Point Why Mesh Network • The Solution from Mesh Network - Indoor • True Wireless • No wire required toward APs • Easy management • Self organize, con- figure, healing • Avoid channel over- lapping • Real mobility • Connection anywhere • Layer 3 IP roaming 8 / 39

  9. Mobile IP Server Local Access Point Why Mesh Network • The Solution from Mesh Network - Outdoor • Dual RF • 11b/g, 11a interface • Dedicated bandwidth • 108Mbps local service • 108Mbps backhaul • Mobility • Layer 3 IP fast roaming (MDOLSR) • Scalability • WiFi connection everywhere • Security • VPN/ VPN pass through • WPA2/ AES Outdoor Mesh AP Outdoor Mesh AP Outdoor Mesh AP Physical link: Yes IP session:Maintained (Layer 3) 54Mbps Outdoor Mesh Ap 54Mbps Outdoor Mesh AP Physical link: Yes IP session: Yes 54Mbps 9 / 39

  10. The Market is Growing “By getting rid of cables, companies can cheaply place Internet access points in hard-to-reach places. It’s possible to establish a clear financial advantage for meshes in many cases.” - Craig J. Mathias, Farpoint Group Given the advantages, experts believe mesh networks may dramatically alter inventory management and logistics. - CFO Magazine 10 / 39

  11. The Markets Where needs Wireless Internet, where needs Mesh • Public Area • Transport Systems • Stations – Bus station, Railway, Subway station • In the Bus, Train • Traffic control, surveillance • Fixed Sites • Airport, Park, Hotel/ Resort • Campus, Hospital • Private Sector • Enterprise • In Office WiFi connectivity such as WiFi phone system • Office Surveillance • Government, Military, Police 11 / 39

  13. Solution • Outdoor Mesh APMAP-2000 Outdoor Mesh AP (Relay mode) MAP-2000R • Dual wireless interfaces for independent Backhaul link and local clients connection • 2 x IEEE802.11a/b/g adapters • 2 x N-type connector • Supports full dynamic routing (layer 3) between all node APs • MDOLSR, modified dynamic optimized link state routing protocol • Adjustable output power: 50mW, 25mW, 13mW, and 6mW • Central management software • AES backhaul communication • Supports 802.1x/ WPA/ WPA2 mechanisms • Supports QoS, SNMP v2/v3 • Power over Ethernet capable (with the proprietary injector) • IP-66 protection housing • Operating temperature: -20~70 degree C MAP-2000 / MAP-2000R 13 / 39

  14. Solution • Indoor Mesh APMAP-2100 • Same to MAP-2000 but with palm-sized plastic enclosure • Dual wireless interfaces for independent Backhaul link and local clients connection • 2 x IEEE802.11a/b/g adapters • 2 x RP-SMA for different type antenna • Supports full dynamic routing (layer 3) between all node APs • MDOLSR, modified dynamic optimized link state routing protocol • Adjustable output power: 50mW, 25mW, 13mW, and 6mW • Central management software • AES backhaul communication • Supports 802.1x/ WPA/ WPA2 mechanisms • Supports QoS, SNMP v2/v3 • Operating temperature: 0~50 degree C MAP-2100 14 / 39

  15. Solution • Mobile IP Roaming Gateway MAP-2105 • Purpose:Provide full “Mobility” to all users in MESH network Not like the layer-2 only capability in ordinary AP, the “mobility” defined in MAP-2105 is the ability of a user to change its attached node from one mesh AP to another while maintaining all existing communications and using the same IP address at this new link. • Advantage: Users can have continuous network services, such as VoIP communications and file transfers, while roaming from node to node. • Features: • Provides 1 WAN port for Internet connection • Secured HTTP management • Supports VPN client • Optimized for up to 500 users MAP-2105 15 / 39
