IR DATA REVEALS THE SWAP900™
900MHz MESH ROUTER WITH SOLAR POWER
-- Featuring an Integrated WiFi Access Point --
Costa Mesa, Calif., October 2006– IR Data Corporation today revealed the SWAP900™, a solar powered, WiFi access point with a fully integrated 900MHz mesh network router.
Data is relayed between access points utilizing a mesh network with a 900MHz broadband radio thus eliminating data cable connections. The custom integrated solar panel makes it possible to deploy wireless networks over very long distances with total independence from external power. Typical applications include Internet service providers, asset management, agriculture, construction sites, recreational areas, entertainment venues, sports events, private networks, security monitoring, emergency networks, and scientific research.
ABOUT THE SWAP900
The system features a 902-928MHz broadband mesh radio for backhaul connectivity between units and a 2.4GHz, 802.11/g access point for user level service. Each unit can easily be reconfigured as a wireless or optional wired gateway to available Internet connections. The large data storage capacity in each unit can be utilized to remotely store private files.
The router features a Radio Optimized Routing Protocol (RORP) to interconnect each unit. The protocol continuously monitors the mesh network configuration and status to optimize data throughput. Additionally the protocol automatically eliminates data link errors, thereby increasing total network throughput. The low latency mesh network provides an ideal solution for data intensive real-time applications. The encryption protocols and web-based authentication ensures that only authorized users are permitted access to the network.
The aluminum weatherproof enclosure, high efficiency solar module, and extended capacity battery provides continuous daily operation. The unit can be mounted easily on poles, towers, or rooftops that face the sun. Where there are trees or dense foliage the 900MHz signals will provide much longer range than traditional WiFi based systems. This superior range capability dramatically reduces the total number of units required per installation and therefore the total deployment costs.
SWAP900 typical applications:
- Internet service providers
- Construction and agriculture broadband wireless networks
- Storage and inventory networks
- Recreational and entertainment events
- Private networks
- RV park and boat marina wireless Internet service
- Research and telemetry networks
