Firetide Launches Outdoor Wireless Mesh Router

Firetide,
a start-up based in Los Gatos, California, introduced its
HotPoint 1000R wireless mesh router designed for outdoor
network deployments. Firetide’s mesh networking technology
uses advanced routing technologies and IEEE
802.11-compliant radios to "unwire" the Ethernet
infrastructure.

Firetide’s
HotPoint Wireless Mesh Routers replace Ethernet cabling
and form a Wireless Instant Network, eliminating the need
for trenching and laying fiber or cable. The outdoor
wireless mesh router could be used in campus networks,
downtown Hot Zones, transportation services, and outdoor
communities such as marinas, RV parks, and outdoor events.
It provides long range coverage up to two miles
omni-directionally. Two weather-sealed Ethernet ports are
provided for connecting any Ethernet device, such as
surveillance cameras or access points. The HotPoint 1000R
can provide Power over Ethernet (PoE).
