"Solution Sets" For Strategic Applications and Deployments
|

When it comes to mesh network equipment, it has taken amazingly little time for us to go from "What is that?" straight to "How do I know which one to buy?" Already end users find themselves with almost too many choices.
"There are so many options that people have, so many choices in the market in terms of how you might go about deploying a particular solution," said Kirby Russell, director of product marketing at Calabasas, Calif.-based Strix Systems.
To ease the burden on IT managers, integrators, service providers, and end users alike, Strix designed it's Wireless Mesh Ready certification to verify interoperability and "certify" components for throughput, latency and other key characteristics in order to design solutions, or "Solution Sets" for a given purpose. These pre-tested interoperable building blocks are meant to make buying and deploying mesh networks easier and faster.
Mobility
The first of the solution sets is on the "mobility" side. For example, Accela's mobile application, Accela Wireless, is designed to help state and local governmental agencies manage their field staff. Identiprise SecuredMobile provides comprehensive Operations Support Systems (OSS), mobility persistence and security for wireless mesh networks. InMotion Technology's onBoard Mobile Gateway enables Strix mesh network connectivity technology versatility for provide vehicle area networks, and NetMotion Mobility XE Mobile VPN for wirelessmobile environments allows users to move seamlessly in and out of wireless coverage areas.
An increasingly important and interesting topic are "solar"applications. Connectronics, a Strix Master Distributor, offers the SIRPS (Solar Integrated Remote Power Solution) and SolarCraft, an established leader in high quality solar power systems, offers a wide variety of products supporting round-the-clock power stations appropriate not only for railway applications, such as the connectronics solution, but 24/7 carrier-class operations.
Video Surveillance
Considering the dramatic growth in the video surveillance market today, distributed IP Video Surveillance over wireless mesh networks is a signiicant application and one which deserves credible technologies and partners. Strix solution partners for distributed video surveillance include industry giant Federal Signal who provides large-scale broadband wireless and network security systems for municipal, public safety, emergency response and industrial customers. Well known industry technology and market leader in Open IP Video Surveillance Management, Milestone Systems with its portfolio of XProtect products and over 25,000 installations worldwide, IQInvision ( IQEye) who continies to achieve major innovations in megapixel video surveillance and related optimal delivery of video streams, Panasonic offering the state of the art I-Pro video surveillance cameras and high quality video surveillance recorders, Dotworkz Systems, manufacture of the rugged weatherproof D2 Cooldome™ and D2 Ring of Fire™ PTZ camera enclosures, and finally Industry leader ICOP, who innovated the public safety market with their wireless accessible in-dash video surveillance camera and recording system.
