Fluidmesh 1100 Series
The Fluidmesh 1100 (FM1100) is designed for outdoor operations in harsh
environments. The hardware is enclosed in a multi-band panel antenna en-
closure that can be mounted and oriented using the supplied pole-mounting
adapter as depicted in Fig. 3.1 and Fig. 3.2
Figure 3.1: Fluidmesh 1100 enclosure (back).
The FM1100 (part number FM1100E) can operate both as a
point-to-point
wireless bridge
or as a single radio
mesh unit
. The former operating
mode is described in Section 4.1 whereas the latter is discussed in in Sec-
tion 4.2. To operate the FM1100 as a mesh unit, an additional software
plug-in is required (part number FM1100E-M).

izontal axis.
