OpenMesh™ Embedded Ad Hoc Networking System

OpenMesh™ is a seamless, ad hoc networking solution, based on Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) protocols enhanced in unique ways to optimize the scalability of the system.

OpenMesh™ is a portable router that provides mobile ad-hoc IPv4 network connectivity. It supports both unicast and multicast IP communications to meet the needs for point-to-point communications and for dissemination of information simultaneously to multiple interested listeners. Its design provides a standard networking interface (e.g. IPV4 over Ethernet) and interacts with existing IP-based applications. No special networking software is required on the end-systems. Future efforts include migration to IPv6.

Mobiquiti® using OpenMesh® Algorithms

Wireless networking is much more than WiFi cards and access points. Mobile, ubiquitous communication solutions must support highly dynamic networks without user intervention. It is essential they form on-demand, adjust as conditions warrant, and always provide the best communications services possible. ‘Mobiquiti’ creates a network in situations where infrastructure is not assured. It maintains communications as users operate in unstable environments where the network is in constant flux.

Mobiquiti networks relieve the users’ burden of maintaining mobile, wireless connectivity, maximising the performance of data transport through a scalable wireless communications architecture. Supporting IPv4 and IPv6 using either Layer 2 mesh networking or Layer 3 ad-hoc routing, Mobiquiti networks are your solution. Mobiquiti’s flexible Quality of Service (QoS) engine can be dynamically configured to meet changing mission objectives. Effective prioritisation ensures that critical data gets through first.

The Mobiquiti product line is the foundation from which Innovative Concepts customise solutions that meet your software and hardware needs.
