3.2. Fluidmesh Architecture
3.2.1. Overview
Wireless network architectures
Depending on the network design and the type of components used, the
Fluidmesh 1200 VOLO can be used to create wireless network
architectures, including:
• Point-to-point (P2P) links.
• Point-to-multipoint (PTMP) sectors.
• Mesh networks.
• Mobility networks.
• Mixed networks that are capable of using any combination of types
listed above.
The FluidMAX TDMA protocol
Individual radio transceivers can easily be assigned different roles within
the same network, using Fluidmesh’s patented FluidMAX™ technology. A
typical example of a general network architecture that uses a combination
of Fluidmesh components is shown below:
