FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Strix Systems New In-Vehicle MWS 100 Delivers the Industry's Highest Performance Fast-Roaming Mobility
Strix's Newest In-Vehicle Device Makes Broadband
Performance a Reality for Public Safety, Railway
and Transportation Applications.
Calabasas, CA - January 16, 2008 (INB) -- Strix Systems,
a worldwide leader in high-performance wireless mesh
networking, today announced the introduction of the
highest-powered, highest performance Mobile Wireless
System (MWS) 100 to its award winning Access/One®
product line. The MWS is the industry's highest
performance mobile extension which enables on-board
video surveillance, voice over IP and critical data
applications for in-vehicle wired or wireless client
connectivity in public safety, railway, municipal,
strategic and tactical wireless broadband mesh networks.
Strix's Innovations in Fast-Roaming Go Unparalleled in
the Industry
Powered by Strix Access/One Edge™ OS 2.1, Strix's
innovations in fast roaming and high-speed broadband
connectivity makes the MWS 100 the highest performance
CPE for Mobile WiFi connectivity in the industry. The
small, durable and portable MWS is designed for any
vehicle type and works in concert with Strix's
Access/One Outdoor Wireless Systems (OWS) to create
an end-to-end mobile broadband wireless experience
that achieves the longest reach and instant mesh
hand-off compared to any other mobile wireless device
on the market.
The MWS 100 utilizes industry leading Strix Access/One
Edge™ capabilities to achieve the continuous high
throughput and low latency via intelligent radio
algorithms with optimized channel selection, dual
diversity, significantly enhanced roaming algorithms,
and maximized signal strength via the highest power
output. The MWS quickly detects new and alternate
wireless nodes while traversing the larger wireless
mesh network and instantaneously establishing best
network path criteria for seamless transitions
maintaining any video, voice and data sessions.
The MWS 100 is packed with a unique set of innovations
including 802.11a and high power (DSRC-C) 4.9 GHz for
public safety applications or optionally 802.11g for
unlicensed client access. The MWS also includes an
Ethernet port for wired connectivity to in-vehicle
laptops and on-board systems. The easily configured
and installed MWS yields superior high receive
sensitivity, high-speed forwarding between radios
and the Ethernet port and Layer 2 Network Address
Translation (NAT) and VLAN mapping with preserved
Quality of Service.
"Strix MWS 100 achieves what no other in-vehicle
mobility products can - broadband throughput and
high-speed mobile hand-off from node to node with
zero packet loss resulting in a seamless network
experience," said Steve Coffelt, Director of Product
Management for Strix Systems. "This is the mobility
product the wireless broadband mobile market has
been missing."
Strix Shatters the Concept of Mobile Wireless
Broadband Networks with "SuperCloud"
Strix is also introducing Strix Mesh™ OS 3.1 with
revolutionary innovations in mesh networking for
transportation systems. Strix has completely shattered
the concept of dynamic large-scale and long-distance
mobile mesh networks with its new "SuperCloud fleet
management" capabilities. Current railway deployments
with Strix Systems Access/One products enable
unparalleled range and performance for
track-side-to-train and in-train multi-car mesh
networking. With Strix's new "SuperCloud" capability,
locomotives and passenger or freight cars (carriages)
can be changed without the need for
configuration/reconfiguration. Any locomotive can
connect to any carriage and all Strix Access/One nodes,
including the MWS and OWS are fully visually managed
from a centralized or other remote location. Other
significant enhancements to Strix MeshT OS 3.1 includes
the latest in fast roaming algorithms for wireless mesh
networks, Intelligent background scanning, Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol, high-speed mobile fast
authentication services, multi-VLAN enhancements, Mesh
and Edge management and more.
"Think about the possibilities enabled by a wireless
mesh itself becoming mobile," said Craig Mathias, a
Principal with the wireless and mobile advisory firm
Farpoint Group. "Transportation and public safety
applications are only the beginning. The Strix
Access/One MWS 100 is re-defining broadband mobility,
and will enable the next generation of innovative and
indeed remarkable wide-area wireless solutions."
"Strix Systems is showing once again why they are a
market leader," said Daryl Schoolar, Senior Analyst
for In-Stat. "The MWS is just another example of Strix's
ability to deliver a uniquely valuable product that's
critical to a number of vertical markets."
