Wireless Security

Boston-based Fluid­mesh Networks, Inc., has introduced two new products to support its wireless systems for security applications. The Fluidmesh 2100 Endo is a single-radio version of the 2200 Endo. It is designed to be embedded in outdoor enclosures for special applications such as monitoring in classified areas. It supports the pat­ent-pending FluidMAX technology and can be used to create point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh architectures. Users can limit the total cost of own­ership by paying for only the amount of bandwidth required. Additional throughput can be achieved by upgrading the system with software plug-ins as requirements increase. The company’s Firm­ware 5.1.3, compatible with all Fluid­mesh products, offers IEEE 802.1q VLAN support, improved FMQuadro interface, and a more-robust wireless protocol that will improve network performance in high interference areas.
