XpressNet
XpressNet is a new line
of products from IPMobileNet that provides high-speed Wi-Fi
mesh backhaul and client connectivity for mobile data communications.
XpressNet offers local government and private enterprise an
opportunity to build on their existing legacy systems and
create integrated wireless networks that extend and accelerate
communications and service delivery across towns, cities,
and entire regions.
The initial product offering in this line is the SmartCell intelligent outdoor access point. SmartCell can be used for building-to-building
connectivity across metropolitan areas or to create outdoor
wireless hot zones in urban centers, recreation areas, business
parks and office districts—bringing broadband Internet
access and high bandwidth voice/data/video services to employees
and citizens alike, regardless of their location or mobility
needs.
Units can be mounted discreetly on public and government
buildings, along the streets on lampposts or dedicated poles,
at intersections on traffic signals, or billboards.
SmartCell
SmartCell uses the high-speed capabilities
of 802.11 for backhaul and mobile data user access to LANs,
WANs, and other IP-based networks. SmartCell advanced mesh
technology provides dedicated radios and separate frequencies
for the wireless backbone and dedicated radios and frequencies
for mobile client connectivity. This system supports mobile
client connectivity from any 802.11 compliant Network Interface Cards
(NIC) available today, and supports client connectivity in
the 4.9 GHz public safety band.
SmartCell is an access point that has been
designed for outdoor installation on buildings, light poles,
and other outdoor fixtures. Using 802.11 (a) or (g), network speeds are up to 108 Mbps between meshed access points.
Mobile clients supporting 802.11 (b), (a), (g) or 4.9 GHz can achieve
data rates of up to 54 Mbps.
SmartCell access points can be utilized for
“hot spot” uploading and downloading of files
and reports, or it can be used as a high-speed supplement
to private radio systems like IPMobileNet’s IP Series.
Mesh network topology increases reliability and redundancy
for the data backhaul - data is automatically rerouted to another access
point when an access point fails.
ManageOne
ManageOne is a proprietary Web Management
Interface, residing on all wireless modules within the XpressNet
network. The interface uses a tabbed page design with supporting
frames, pull-down menus, pop-up dialogs, and a mouse over
feature to provide detailed knowledge about the network and
its current active state. From Manager/One, network administrators
can manage SmartCell Access Points at the network, subnet,
node or module level. In addition, Manager/One provides several
reporting schemes, including inventory analysis, rogue AP
detection, and system logging (syslog) events. The system
supports HTTP and HTTPs (secure HTTP) to ensure that your
Manager/One session is completely encrypted and cannot be
compromised by unauthorized users.
