Why CoCo
A NEW APPROACH TO NETWORKING
• Save expense of running wires: The IMR’s mesh Federally Tested - Tested and used
capabilities means wireless traffic can be forwarded without by the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army
the cost of running wire to every device location and U.S. Navy. Tested at the Defense
• Indoor VoIP mobility: CoCo Node running on each IMR Interoperability Communications
ensures that CoCo enabled devices will have seamless Exercise (DICE) in 2006, at the DoD
handoff as they roam through the wireless coverage area Joint Interoperability Test Command
(JITC) in 2007; and is FIPS 140-2
• Eliminate dark spots: CoCo enabled devices, such as validated
laptops or PDA’s, also act as mesh routers, so the devices
work with the IMR to expand coverage Scalable - No limit to the size or
• Instantly expand network coverage: Coverage can be location of your network
expanded by plugging in another IMR, and then the network
will automatically configure itself to support the new device Disaster-Proof - Completely
distributed, resilient networks
• Video surveillance support: Each IMR has two Ethernet
that are not dependent on fixed
ports and can act as a forwarding device for a network
infrastructure single points of failure
camera and can be installed with just a wireless camera, an
IMR, a data cable, and power for the two devices
Open - Seamlessly supports existing
• Simple administration: CoCo networks are self forming IP applications
and self healing and require little to no administration.
