Metro Mesh Network

Metro mesh is a wireless network topology that is gaining popularity in urban and suburban areas. Laptops, PDAs, IP phones and other wireless devices communicate with each other using standard Wi-Fi (802.11a and g) protocols; the "mesh" is a Layer-3 protocol that allows the network to be dynamic – automatically shifting users between radio bands on a common network as required by the environment.

The Mesh Network Specialists of INVERSIONES CGI implement seamless, metropolitan-scale mesh networks in order to bring innovative wireless services to municipalities – wireless services such as:

Bottom-Line Benefits for Municipalities
Separate communities of users – police, field workers, even private citizens – can operate independently, and securely, on a single segmented metro mesh network. In this way, a municipality is able to maximize the utility of its high-speed wireless mesh network and realize the greatest possible returns.

Wireless Services for Public Transit
INVERSIONES CGI is a leading provider of wireless services for public transit – including wireless communications on commuter boats and rail lines. The public transit-based wireless services provided by INVERSIONES CGI Metro Mesh offer benefits to cities, towns and citizens that are unavailable from any other source.

A Metro Mesh node is installed on the top of buildings within the City area and provides coverage to the ground and into buildings.

For the buildings that have a node installed on them, we can also provide direct Ethernet services to the tenants using "Ethernet over Powerline" technology as well as traditional copper/fibre communications. Tenants are offered a 10Mb connection that runs up to the node on the roof, which in turn uses our wireless backhaul to communicate to our core nodes via the backhaul mesh.

At any time on the network, users will be no more than two hops from our core nodes and not withstanding external factors, should be able to exit our network in approximately 10ms. This makes it ideal for VoIP carriage and other time sensitive traffic. As soon we assure continuous coverage we test the system up to 140 Km/h, so you can drive around the city and have continuous coverage without problems of connection.
