Initial Network  One Subnet in Mesh Router Network

– Single Pronto Hotzone Service Gateway
– Single Internet Point of Presence (PoP)
– All Internet Access traffic routed through
Pronto Gateway
– Supports approx 10,000 homes
– Supports approx 2,000 concurrent sessions

Large Network

 Many Subnets in Mesh Router Network
I – Mesh Network divided into multiple subnets
– Each Pronto Hotzone Service Gateway connects to One
Gateway Mesh Node and thus one subnet
– Cross-subnet roaming and GRE tunnels in Mesh allow
for client IP persistence in the mesh from Mesh AP to
II Mesh AP
Mesh I – All IP traffic from client is tunneled back to initial
Mesh I
Network Gateway Mesh Node and initial PHG
Network
– Thus no reauthentication reqd in mesh
– Multiple Internet Points of Presence (PoP) allows for
greater network availability, reliability, and easy
scalability
– Higher Capacity custom PHGs also available from
