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.

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
WiMAX and Outdoor Mesh Equipment Revenue
Given the advantages, experts
believe mesh networks may
dramatically alter inventory
management and logistics.

Features MAP-2105
Mobile IP Roaming Gateway
Purpose: Provide full “Mobility” to all users in MESH network
Not like the layer-2 only capability in ordinary AP, the “mobility”
defined in Mobile IP Gateway 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 all the time.
Advantage: Users can have continuous network services, such as VoIP
Features:
communications and file transfers, while roaming from node to node
without the fear of connection broken.
Provides 1 WAN port for Internet connection
Secured HTTP management
Supports VPN client
Optimized for up to 500 users
