Press Release Body = Kaunas, Lithuania - June 20, 2006 - WILIBOX embedded Wi-Fi
software specialist announces WILI MESH - OSI layer 2 wireless mesh software
platform which enables hardware vendors to provide high performance
single-to-multiple radio wireless mesh solutions for municipality, WISP, campus and
enterprise networks.
\"Availability of independent wireless mesh software platform is a response to
growing demand for economical mesh network solutions. WILI MESH creates new
opportunities for hardware vendors to provide equipment for next generation wireless
access networks without investing in in-house software development and responding to
critical time to market and budget requirements.\" Jonas Sabaliauskas, CEO of WILIBOX
says.
WILI MESH software is capable to function with single or multiple radio modules and
create a variety of wireless mesh network elements ranging from one radio economical
solution to a high speed low latency three radio mesh element where dedicated radio
interfaces are used for mesh uplink and downlink with one physical radio reserved
for service provisioning (acting as a regular 802.11 access point).
WILI MESH software supports 802.11i (WPA2/AES) protocol for hop-by-hop security.
802.11e (WMM) support for in-mesh Access Point and for intra-mesh communication
enables carrier grade VoIP telephony over mesh network. For service provisioning
standard 802.11 protocols are used. Access Point implementation supports up to 16
MBSSID (Virtual APs) with per MBSSID security settings. WILI MESH is well positioned
for future migration to 802.11s mesh protocol.
Integral part of WILI MESH software suite is MESH MONITOR which provides graphical
representation of network topology and status. MESH MONITOR is integrated into RCMS
(Remote Configuration Management System) but also can be used as standalone
application.
WILIBOX mesh software runs on a variety of embedded hardware platforms: x86, IXP42x,
ARM9, MIPS, Atheros SoC AR2313, AR5213 and others. Supported radio hardware includes
products based on industry leading Atheros AR5004, AR5006 chipsets.
WILI MESH is available for licensing. WILIBOX team can support customers with
software customization and optimization for particular hardware platforms and usage
scenarios.
