Mesh Enabled Architecture

1 Product Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the MEA Enhanced Wireless Router (EWR) or the MEA Portable
Wireless Router (PWR). Both of these devices are designed to integrate with the Mesh Enabled
Architecture (MEA®) wireless communication system capable of supporting high data rate
mobile communication at variable rates of vehicular speeds. This document provides detailed
installation and configuration instructions for installing the MEA EWR and PWR.
The EWR is designed to be deployed outdoors, while the PWR is designed for indoor use, such
as traffic cabinets or inside outdoor kiosks. Both of these devices offer wireless coverage in
large geographic areas and provide wireless network access to one or more IP devices via a
built-in RJ45 Ethernet port.
Both the EWR and the PWR efficiently combine the functionality of a Motorola Wireless Router
and client modem into a single cost-effective wireless network component. This makes it easy
for any Ethernet-ready device to access a Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA), mobile broadband
network. IP-enabled computers, video cameras, sensors, signs, signals, and other devices can
all be Mesh Enabled to send and receive data at burst rates of up to 6 Mbps. All standard
Wireless Router functionality including Multi-Hopping®, near Line-of-Sight communications, and
geo-location services are fully supported.
The EWR and the PWR are configured for the connection of multiple IP addressable devices
using standard Ethernet connectivity. This allows devices that cannot accept the PCMCIA
based WMC6300 product to function transparently on a MEA network without drivers
