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.

Embedded Mesh Technology

PacketHop's embedded technology is a layer 2 wireless mesh network that is transparent to higher layer protocols (such as IP). The network and network abstraction is one compatible with wired Ethernet systems and implements layer 2 bridging between the wireless mesh and wired Ethernet networks.

Product Benefits

PacketHop supports peer-to-peer wireless connectivity that scales from two peers to multiple mesh points (MPs) that form a mesh network. Unlike many other mesh network technologies, with PacketHop there is no need for a centralized access point (AP) as is the case with mesh networks implemented using infrastructure (802.11 BSS) mode. Unlike the ad hoc (802.11 IBSS) mode, PacketHop's technology forwards data from one MP to another MP through intermediary MPs.

In addition, PacketHop's technology is able to support simultaneous connectivity to other mesh points and to standard 802.11 APs as a standard 802.11 station (STA) using a single network interface (radio).

PacketHop mesh technology is designed for small footprint and low power consumption which makes it suitable for handheld and consumer electronics devices.

Our strong background in wireless video streaming and public safety applications is reflected in the scalability of the system and its ability to support multimedia applications.
