CYTEC MicroMesh Wireless Networking Using Technology to Connect Texas Cities CYTEC
CYTEC Corporation CYTEC Corporation is a minority owned research and development organization. For over 30 years CYTEC has developed software, designed and manufactured industrial computers and worked with the Department of Defense on many projects especially in the area of Radio Frequency Identification or RFID. More recently, CYTEC has developed an innovative wireless technology called MicroMeshNetworking. MicroMesh invokes the most advanced wireless technology to improve communication with the over 400 million laptop and desktop computers and other “Wi-Fi” devices. MicroMesh is built upon the solid 802.11b/g foundation making it unnecessary to buy a new computer with different wireless technology or to add special adapters to gain broadband access. CYTEC’s mission includes the provision of broadband Internet access to everyone efficiently and effectively by using low cost MicroMesh technology.
Citywide Wireless MicroMesh Imagine being able to move about your community with a laptop while staying connected with friends, family and the World Wide Web. With CYTEC’s Micro Mesh Wireless Networking you can do just that. CYTEC’s Micro Mesh Networking improves upon “WiFi” technology that is built into just about every laptop and many desktop computers. Rather than re-invent wireless technology, CYTEC has built upon a solid universal technology and improved it. The network is created by installing small wireless routers atop street lights and other structures. Routers communicate with each other and the Internet and to clients with laptop or desktop computers. These tiny units create a mesh or web of wireless Internet connectivity and automatically find the most efficient path for information. While these units are extremely reliable, if a problem should occur other units will make a new path without disrupting service. CYTEC’s Micro Mesh Wireless Networking can truly connect a community by supporting its citizens, city services, business, education and first responders.
MicroMesh Defined • Based upon wireless routers located about 500 feet apart, connecting to each other and the Internet • Routers mounted on buildings and other structures • Internet gateways provide service via groups of MicroMesh routers • MicroMesh routers require only 4 watts of power. Roughly $3 per year to operate
MicroMesh Defined Nodes are self configuring…Plug it in and it automatically links to other nodes, therefore network is easy to grow Reliable, extended range, wireless broadband access Typically, cities allow one free network to be used by city officials and one pay network to be used by the public.
Cities With a Municipal Wireless Network • Yazoo City, MS • Greenwood, MS • Amory, MS • Southaven, MS • Corpus Christi, TX • Houston, TX • Cupertino, CA • Cerritos, CA • New Orleans, LA • Minneapolis, MN • And more …
Why MicroMesh? • Rapid network deployment with lower cost backhaul • Coverage for hard-to-wire areas (only AC power required) • Self-healing, resilient, and extendable • Greater range due to multi-hop forwarding • Higher bandwidth • Automatic load balancing
Why MicroMesh? Intelligent, network able to find the most efficient and fastest data route Works with and improves the performance of existing “WiFi” devices Easily expandable without network disruption Controllable access with two networks per node (public & private) Network can be installed in stages as funding permits
Network Control Panel Software • Bandwidth control capabilities • Client bandwidth usage, device MAC address and other metrics available • Signal strength and node condition monitored constantly • Graphic display of network and node conditions
Typical Network Design Criteria • Each node covers approximately 200,000 to 500,000 square feet or a radius of 300 to 500 feet. • Nodes are deployed in groups of 15 to 20 per Internet gateway • Nodes are mounted on buildings or other structures • Any node can be connected directly to a LAN via Ethernet • Additional nodes and gateways are added to enable an increased client base
Typical Citywide Network Deployment Wireless Routers shown as green, pink, yellow and blue dots
IP Security Cameras All of the following, plus many more, security cameras can be deployed on the MicroMesh Network. ACTi ACM-1231 Megapixel Outdoor IP IR Bullet Camera with PoE ACTi ACM-5711N IP Box Camera ACTi CAM-7321N MPEG-4 Real-time Network Streaming Outdoor IP Rugged Dome PoE Camera ACTi CAM-6500N PTZ Indoor IP Camera
Wi-Fi Phones Each of the following, plus many more, Wi-Fi phones can be used on the MicroMesh Network. Edgecore Wi-Fi Phone Belkin Wi-Fi Phone
Additional Technologies to use with MicroMesh • Can create separate wireless Networks (For example one network for government officials, police, fire department, and other first responders while one network is used for private citizens) • Allow security staff to have access to the Internet in vehicles
Additional Technologies to use with MicroMesh Additional nodes can be rapidly deployed for special events Automatic/Remote Meter Reading Technology Remote Sensing
Micro Mesh NetworkingA Sound Investment for a Community Low cost, ease of use, access for city government and first responders, support for education and the potential for shared revenue make CYTEC’s Micro Mesh Wireless Networking a sound investment for a city and its citizens.
