Unit function and throughput speed
The unit is designed to handle mission-critical video, voice, and data with
extremely high reliability. It can be used to create point-to-point or mesh
network links, with real throughput of up to 500 Mbps to vehicles travelling
at up to 225 mph (360 Km/h), under optimal wireless link conditions.
Data throttling
The unit's FluidThrottle functionality allows you to specify the maximum
amount of data throughput the unit will be required to handle at any time.
The unit's throughput capacity can be upgraded to different levels using
software plug-ins.
MPLS protocol
Two different Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based protocol
versions can be chosen. If a newer network is being built or upgraded, the
advanced Prodigy 2.0 protocol can be selected to boost performance. If
an older network incorporating Fluidmesh components is being upgraded,
the Prodigy 1.0 protocol with limited functionality can be selected to
guarantee compatibility. Prodigy uses a traffic optimization algorithm that
allows every Fluidmesh radio to assign a specific priority level to every
forwarded data packet.
Unit configuration
The unit is compatible with Fluidmesh RACER™. This is a centralized,
web-based interface that allows you to configure, monitor, and
troubleshoot the unit (and in certain cases, the entire wireless network) in
real time, without the need for any offline software. In cases where an
initial connection cannot be made to the internet, the unit can be
configured using a built-in offline Configurator interface.
Environmental rating
The unit is certified for outdoor usage, equipped with vibration-proof
connectors, and designed for fast installation and enhanced reliability in
harsh environments.
