    Overview The SpeedNet Network Evaluation Kit is used to demonstrate SpeedNet capabilities and ease of use . Unlike other radios that are dedicated to a particular network topology (such as point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or mesh), SpeedNet technology is application- agile so the most suitable topology can be used for a given application such as SCADA, AMI backhaul, or peer-to-peer .

  • Page 39: Security

    When enabling encryption, make sure to start with the furthest node out and work your way back to the Gateway radio . SpeedNet Radios only encrypt at the source and decrypt at the destination . This is accomplished by tunneling, so nodes that are part of the route do not decrypt . This mitigates latency due to encryption .
