Incident-area communications

PacketHop provides incident-area communications in the form of ad hoc networks for backhaul. We provide police communications and mobile ad hoc networks for EMS, fire, and tactical personnel as well. We know police communication has different needs than fire communication, but we also know that sometimes the different agencies need to be able to share a mobile ad hoc network between them.

Police and fire communications

Fire communication and police communication systems will need to be in use during utilities failures, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, traffic accidents and other situations where lives are on the line. Decisions matter - and the information you need to make those decisions can be securely shared through PacketHop's peer-to-peer networks. Make sure your tactical team and officers have the GPS positioning they need via server-less applications to allow information to be shared securely in real time. A DynaMesh peer-to-peer network is secure in 4.9 Ghz band for your police communication system. We'll give you public safety bands over a portable ad hoc network with our wireless mesh technology.

How Meshing Works

PacketHop's Embedded Mesh Networking Technology

Mesh networks using PacketHop's technology aren't dependent on infrastructure or proximity to an access point. As a result, mesh technology enables a wide variety of new communications possibilities.

  • Business communications: companies of all sizes are becoming increasingly dependent on mobile workgroups and integrated digital communications. By providing businesses with better and more ready access to information, they can reduce infrastructure costs and be more responsive to business opportunities.
  • Digital entertainment and personal communications: with PacketHop, consumers can more easily share video, music, games and information instantly without the need for infrastructure or proximity to wireless access points.
  • Video communications: high-bandwidth applications such as video surveillance can capitalize on the network efficiencies associated with mesh technology. PacketHop provides the most efficient topology for sharing video over a mesh network.
  • Mission critical communication: mesh networks provide reliable, multimedia communication for public safety and private enterprise. The ability to share videos, maps and other digital information can make the difference in successfully resolving a situation.
  • Machine-to-machine communications: from robots to assembly lines, mesh networks offer more efficient and powerful communications for connecting business, warehousing and manufacturing systems.

With PacketHop's mesh networking technology, messages or packets of information are intelligently routed through the mesh in the most efficient manner possible. If a node is unavailable, the network automatically reroutes the message through other nodes until it reaches its final destination.

It's seamless, reliable and secure. And it's destined to fuel a wealth of new applications.

The Old Way

With most networks, if you're within range of a hot-spot or access point (AP), you can connect to the Internet and share information with others. But, if you're out of range, or the hot-spot is down, you're out of luck. This limits communications.

PacketHop Embedded Mesh Networks

With PacketHop's advanced mesh networking technology, each person or device becomes a node in the mesh network. They can pass data through the network without the need of a hot spot or access point. When a device is within range, it communicates directly. When it isn't in direct range, the communication hops between nodes within the mesh to reach its destination. It's instant, transparent and secure.

With PacketHop's mesh networking technology, as new devices come within range, they are automatically added to the mesh network and can share information with everyone on the network. And, when a device on the network comes within range of an Internet access point, the entire mesh can access the Internet and share information with other mesh enabled devices.
