The wireless mesh RMesh technology (mobile router) allows you to build a large, flexible and robust wireless network based on the IEEE802.11s standard. The special protocol allows the combination of many RMesh stations into a meshed (radio) network with redundancy and autonomous pathfinding. The communication and payload traffic within the meshed network is encrypted, and only stations that know the mesh key can join the network and become part of the system.

Any new station that gets within range of the mesh and has the right mesh key installed will automatically be integrated into the system and the possible new paths will be considered for use. When stations disappear from the grid, either due to power failure or too high attenuation, the changed structure of the network is recognized, taken into account and an autonomous realignment is performed. For the preparation of such cases, no alternative routes need to be defined. The network works without external help or interaction - this makes it so robust and flexible.

Each RMesh station also serves as a possible entry point into the mesh. Clients can be connected via various interfaces (WiFi access point, Ethernet with and without PoE). Laptops, mobile phones, cameras etc. as well as entire networks can be connected to the meshed system and use the provided (variable, dynamic) infrastructure.

The mesh may have one or more uplinks (WAN ports) to connect to other systems such as the WWW and allow access to the connected clients. Such WAN port may be an integrated mobile uplink (2G, 3G, 4G) or an Ethernet connection to an external modem / router (DSL, Cable, SATCOM).

The RMesh can be mounted on walls and masts as well as in vehicles (ground, water, air). Special housings are available for the harshest environmental conditions. 

At events, the focus is on the safety of participants and emergency services. Here is a mobile flexible, broadband, secure and ad hoc available communication and data network required. In action, the security forces must be coordinated and purposefully supported. Through an ad-hoc available network can react immediately and reduce the risk as quickly as possible. This meshed network works independently and can be operated at short notice as well as over a longer period of time.

The application shows the surveillance of a larger area via cameras that are located in a mesh network over several  RMeshPOE. Two of the RMeshPOE devices are powered by a power supply (RUPS), which can feed a camera and RMeshPOE for up to 20 hours. The cameras are connected via the PoE interfaces on the RMeshPOE.

Each RMeshPOE has three connections here, so the system works redundantly and is safe from outages. Pictures, data or live streaming is possible via the mesh and reaches the evaluation unit even over several kilometers. AES encryption protects the sensitive data and only reaches the stations that know the mesh key and are part of the system. In the event of a malfunction, the system forms and heals itself. It is also very low-consumption, maintenance-free and noiseless.

The extension of digital and analog radio (radio) over alternative transmission paths offers many possibilities. So it is possible to bypass existing technical obstacles (supply in underground garages, tunnels, etc.) but also the rapid interconnection of radiotelephone systems in a larger network.

The use of the mobile and robust mesh for extension of the radio coverage helps authorities and industry to improve the structure and increase safety in particular areas.

 In addition to many mobile applications of the RMesh family, stationary applications are also a progressive trend. With object monitoring, even remote areas can be accessed via the mesh, even if they are several kilometers away. By using cameras, live images as well as voice data can be sent to a reception point integrated in the mesh and evaluated there. With autonomous pathfinding, the mesh always chooses the best connection in the ratio of bandwidth to signal strength. The failure of links is compensated by the redundant system, without the need for external intervention. Clients who know the mesh key can use this infrastructure and join the mesh. The mesh is secured by AES 256 encryption, which makes the meshed system secure against eavesdropping and protects against espionage. The consumption of the individual  RMeshPOE relay stations is <20W. In addition, the hardware is fanless and maintenance-free.
