ClearMesh Networks Debuts Next-Generation Wireless Solution
3/27/07 – Pasadena-based ClearMesh Networks has announced the launch of its next-generation wireless mesh solution, the ClearMesh Sentry Mesh. The company says that Sentry Mesh enables system integrators and security professionals to roll out a wireless network providing 100 mbps of full duplex bandwidth per hop to support high-resolution video surveillance and IT applications.
“The Sentry Mesh is optimal for education and medical campuses, business parks, industrial complexes, retail malls, and ports,” says Suresh Nihalani, president and CEO of ClearMesh Networks. “Enterprise IT departments now have a secure network to integrate campus LAN connectivity and campus surveillance. System integrators can now deploy a wireless network supporting dozens of high-resolution video surveillance cameras and offer centralized network management through the ClearMesh Management System.”
ClearMesh says the Sentry Mesh is the only high-bandwidth wireless Ethernet solution that offers integral quality of service functionality, to ensure voice and video traffic performance.
Kelly Williams. director of marketing communications for ClearMesh, says high-bandwidth is the company’s primary value proposition.
“Currently, there is no other solution on the market that provides a wireless mesh solution with the capacity that ClearMesh provides,” said Williams. “Our Sentry Mesh products can act as a ‘backhaul’ to other wireless solutions by locals such as Strix Networks, but our bandwidth is five times more than what they provide and our technology is not based on RF technology, it is based on using an infrared spectrum.”
Williams also says that wireless video surveillance is a primary target market for the company, and customers range from education or corporate campuses to municipalities who need video surveillance for downtown or high crime areas.
In addition to surveillance, ClearMesh says the wireless infrared mesh provides excellent value for bandwidth aggregated back to a central NOC or for applications requiring extremely high bandwidth throughout a campus environment.
Williams says that ClearMesh currently has three customers and is running 10 trials of the service.
ClearMesh is demonstrating a Sentry Mesh network utilizing live surveillance at the ISC West conference, taking place in Las Vegas this Wednesday through Friday.
