SecureMesh® WAN Extender

XTEN-1100
The SecureMesh® Extender is an element of the SecureMesh Wide Area
Network (WAN), a low-latency, high-bandwidth radio system operating in the
5 GHz band as a self-forming, self-balancing, and self-healing wireless mesh
network. Using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) to allocate capacity and
control access to the SecureMesh WAN, latency within the mesh network is
<10 milliseconds per hop. The SecureMesh WAN provides Layer 2 Ethernet
transport at air data rates up to 54 Mbps and throughput up to 20 Mbps,
transmitting raw Ethernet frames to support higher layer protocols, including
TCP/IP and a wide range of utility-related application layer protocols such as DNP
3.0, IEC 61850, SCADA-over-IP, and others.
Each SecureMesh Extender acts as a relay node of the SecureMesh WAN and
provides Ethernet connectivity for SecureMesh WAN client devices in direct
support of Distribution Automation (DA), substation monitoring, video surveillance,
and work-force management applications. The SecureMesh WAN supports
bidirectional communications between its client devices and the head end,
allowing either end to initiate communications, or can be configured to support
peer-to-peer communications without routing traffic through the head end at all.

Synchronous Beam-Switching Technology

The Extender uses a dynamically switched high-gain antenna array of eight
separate 45° beams to provide omni-directional coverage. Patented synchronous The SecureMesh WAN Extender
dynamic beam-switching technology then coordinates use of each antenna beam
to communicate with other WAN nodes.

Reliable Mesh with built in Redundancy  Relay (routing) node within SecureMesh
As a SecureMesh WAN relay node, each SecureMesh Extender dynamically WAN wireless mesh network
routes packets to other nodes of the SecureMesh WAN. Mesh networking allows Intrinsic Reliability
coverage to be extended beyond each node’s radio range, avoiding buildings,
 Self-healing mesh supports built in reliability
terrain, and other obstacles to deploy WAN connectivity exactly where it is
and best-path, vector-based routing
needed. Route diversity provided by the mesh serves as a failover mechanism in
the event that a WAN node fails or a link’s quality degrades.  Adaptive link optimization -- dynamic
adjustment of modulation type and FEC
Wide Coverage Extension based on RF environment
Adding more Extenders to a network readily expands coverage of the Low-Latency, High-Bandwidth
