Benefits
Mobile mesh-mac IP core fulfils and exceeds general mobile mesh requirements:
Characteristic | MAC IP Core |
Scalability | High level of inherent scalability enables for easy expansion of network according to needs |
Voice communication | Complete voice-oriented service, not VoIP, which assures the highest voice QoS |
Video and data communication | Full IPv4/6 network interface card (Virtual NIC) host driver support |
Data security | AES 128/256 encryption available on demand |
Ease of management | Management, configuration, data transfer either from the radio device itself or via PC software |
Industry standards | Supports latest standards and uses standard 4G infrastructure when applicable |
Ease of deployment | Zero time deployment and fast set-up time to support emergency situations, since no infrastructure is needed |
Multiple user groups | Multiple groups of users supported with immediate inter-group communications |
Infrastructure level | Infrastructure-free, allowing multiple mesh networks exist independently in all surroundings |
Robustness and resilience | Radios automatically create self-configuring, self-managing, multi-hop network |
Interoperable with legacy and existing networks | Full interoperability with all legacy networks, and other existing networks, allowing easy integration into existing communication networks |
