Firetide Mobility Controller
The Firetide Mobility Controller is a software platform enabling advanced wireless mesh backbone and Wi-Fi access services. Working in concert with HotPort mesh nodes, HotPoint access points and HotClient customer premises equipment (CPE), the Firetide Mobility Controller delivers high speed infrastructure mobility and seamless client roaming. The controller software is hardware independent and runs on industry standard servers.
Mobile Network Infrastructure
With the Firetide Mobility Controller, Ethernet enabled devices such as network video cameras, Wi-Fi access points, RFID readers and laptop computers maintain network connectivity while traveling at high speeds across multiple HotPort mesh networks and IP domains. This enables a variety of exciting new applications not possible with static Ethernet networks.
-
Continuous video security surveillance for any moving vehicle such as police cars, fire engines, buses and trains
-
Uninterrupted Wi-Fi access on public transport vehicles for travelling hotspots
-
Mobile command centres for public safety first responders including police, fire and other emergency personnel
Seamless Wi-Fi Client Roaming
HotPoint access points (APs) ensure secure, fast roaming for any Wi-Fi enabled client device. With the Firetide Mobility Controller, HotPoint APs also provide seamless roaming across multiple subnets and IP domains. This means that you can move around a building, across a campus, or even drive along city streets while maintaining a network connection. You can roam virtually anywhere in range of HotPoint APs while talking on a Wi-Fi phone, without losing your connection or your conversation.
The Firetide Mobility Controller manages the association of Wi-Fi clients to the HotPoint AP network, providing fast roaming from one AP to another, while maintaining application persistence. Seamless roaming across IP domains is key for applications that require wireless persistence such as voice, barcode scanning, PDAs, and notebook computers.
Hardware Independent Architecture
Firetide Mobility Controller is a software module that runs on a standard server. This hardware independence provides a scalable, multi-service platform for network growth and investment protection. The Firetide Mobility Controller software module is provided via CD or downloadable from the Firetide support web site, along with installation instructions.
