44
Performance Enhancement Features
Performance enhancements enable up to 70 Mbps throughputBandwidth metrics
Improves overall throughput by selecting optimal transmission paths
Congestion control
Mitigates traffic congestion on a per flow basis during high network utilization
Node QoS
Optimizes video and voice applications by prioritizing mesh traffic by Ethernet port or by 802.1p priority field values on a per port basis
Load balancing
Balances traffic across the mesh with flow-based routing to optimize aggregate throughput and increase network performance
Link elimination
Allows a HotPort link to be removed from the mesh network in poor or crowded RF environments
Static routes
Ensures the highest possible performance between any two HotPort nodes by establishing a direct link between them
Broadcast containment
Improves overall mesh bandwidth by containing broadcasts in a single mesh or multiple contiguous meshes
Transmit rate control
Reduces transmissions in poor RF environments by locking transmissions in at a lower rate to ensure constant throughput
Firetide Sales Presentation
45
System Security Features
System and NMS security enhancements ensure end-to-end, multi-level access control to the mesh network:
ESSID encryption Prevents unauthorized viewing of node ESSIDs, even with network monitoring tools such as NetStumbler or AirMagnet
WPA2 Provides standards-based 256 bit encryption over the radio, on top of the end-to-end AES mesh encryption
Signed Certificates
Prevents unauthorized HotPort nodes to connect to the mesh
Digitally signed upgrades
Requires that HotPort nodes check the signature of the firmware prior to upgrading
Strict password controls
Require all network administrators to use strong pass words, and locks out users after repeated unsuccessful login attempts
Default ID lockout Possible brute-force attacks are thwarted through the HotView option of redefining default user IDs
Firetide Sales Presentation
46
Ease of Deployment
Deployment enhancements simplify installing and managing a HotPort and HotPoint network
Node statistics
Especially useful during installation and antenna alignment, the HotView refresh button allows users to refresh the statistics with out waiting for the minimum 300 seconds
Selectable upgrades
Allows the selection of specific mesh nodes for upgrade rather than automatically updating all nodes
Auto node recovery
Enables the recovery of a mesh node if it should become “lost” due to power failure DFS
Standby Gateway Server
Ensures seamless failover from standby to active by deploying Gateway Servers and Network Gateways Interconnects in a redundant configuration
