    The Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER radio transceiver Introduction The Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER is designed to operate in the sub-6 GHz range as a static-mount wireless data link. In non-technical terms, this means it is designed to function as an intermediate radio link between a core wired and/or fiber-optic data network, and a sub-network.

  • Page 12: Unit Function And Throughput Speed

    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™.

    3.2. Fluidmesh architecture 3.2.1. Overview Wireless network architectures Depending on the network design and the type of components used, the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER can be used to create wireless network architectures, including: • Point-to-point (P2P) links. • Point-to-multipoint (PTMP) sectors.

  • Page 15: Fluidmesh Technologies

    Prodigy is Fluidmesh's proprietary implementation of the Multi-Protocol- Label-Switching (MPLS) standard. IMPORTANT A Fluidmesh device only features Prodigy selection if the installed Prodigy engine includes the selection feature. Fluidmesh devices that are designed to operate exclusively in Bridge Mode (in other words, in point-to-point configuration) do not feature Prodigy.

  • Page 16: Racer

    Prodigy 1.0 and Prodigy 2.0 are not compatible with each other. Do not implement the two protocol versions within the same network. If you are expanding an existing network using new Fluidmesh hardware components, make sure that all components are compatible with each other by: 1.
