Here is a brief description of the
software packages available for single radio boards. See also:
Model Numbering Scheme
CPE Edge Node
Part number:
MD1150-A, MD2150-Ax
Intended Use: Interference aware CPE for static edge
node services.
Software Functions: Uplink Only, No Scanner, No Downlink,
hence Meshing not supported
Mesh Edge Node
Part number:
MD1151-A, MD2151-Ax
Intended Use: Interference aware CPE for static edge
node services and last 1-2 hops.
Software Functions: Uplink + Downlink. No Scanner, hence
Mobility Meshing not supported
Mobility Edge
Node
Part number: MD1155-A, MD2155-AA
Intended Use: Interference aware mobility man unit for
static + dynamic edge node services.
Software Functions: Uplink + Mobility Scanner, No
Downlink, hence Meshing not supported
Mesh +Mobility Edge Node
Part number: MD1156-A, MD2156-Ax
Intended Use: Interference aware mobility man unit for
static + dynamic edge node + mesh relay node.
Software Functions: Uplink + Mobility Scanner +
Downlink, hence Meshing is supported. (Single radio, limited
hops)
This software package combines all the features of the Mobile
Edge Node with the additional sophistication of hybrid networking that allows individuals to become their own backbone in extended situations. As an example, first responders fanning out at a disaster scene may soon move too far from a fixed MD4000 node. Hybrid Edge Nodes can "hop" from node to node in a "string of pearls" to extend the network connection far beyond the range of any single node.
Hybrid Edge Node units fully support Meshdynamics Persistent 3rd Generation Mesh (P3M)
capabilities to allow clusters of nodes to separate from the main network while remaining in communication with one
another [Video].
As individuals carrying these nodes return closer to the
MD4000 node, the Hybrid Edge Nodes automatically rejoin the
main network.
