Mesh Wireless Router Defined
The Mesh Wireless Router (MWR) is a wireless device that is primarily
deployed to seed and extend the range between IAPs and Subscriber
Devices while simultaneously increasing the spectral efficiency of the
network. MWR functionality includes:
•
Maximum continuous data rate support ranging from
approximately 900 Kbps for 4.9 GHz MEA components
•
Maximum continuous data rate support of up to 20 Mbps
for stationary 2.4 GHz 802.11 devices.
•
Fixed reference for Geo-Location services
•
Dynamic Route Selection
•
Range Extension for all other network devices
•
Automatic Load Balancing
•
Network capacity optimization through small packet consolidation
Additional MWR Features
The Mesh Wireless Router (MWR) efficiently combines the functionality of a Wireless Router with
two internal high-speed Ethernet ports to support a total of six IP addresses. This allows a network of
IP-enabled devices to be directly addressed, accessed and managed over the MOTOMESH network.
Additional IP devices/addresses can be supported by simply linking the connected devices through a
NAT capable router.
