HotView Pro provides centralized management and control of single or multiple Firetide networks with an intuitive web based user interface. It is a sophisticated, yet simple-to-use platform for configuring, monitoring, and managing HotPort mesh nodes, HotPoint access points, and HotClient customer premises equipment (CPE).
The Firetide mesh system provides a high capacity, self-healing wireless mesh network that operates seamlessly indoors and outdoors. Designed for maximum performance, scalability, mobility and security, the mesh delivers throughput of up to 70 Mbps.
Firetide’s patented AutoMesh routing protocol makes the mesh fully self-forming and self-healing, to afford rapid deployment and dependable operation for both static and mobile mesh infrastructures. Mesh-wide performance is constantly optimized with unique AutoMesh features such as flow based routing, congestion control, cost-based bandwidth metrics and industry-leading low latency. Multiple auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports on each HotPort node create a virtual Ethernet switch, providing direct connectivity to devices such as video surveillance cameras and Wi-Fi access points, forming a high-performance multi-service infrastructure. The mesh nodes can operate in bonded or linear radio mode and support 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
For end-to-end traffic encryption, administrators can enable Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) at 128 or 256 bits, WPA2 (256-bit key) and/or WEP at 104/128 or 40/64 bits.
? Traffic can be filtered by MAC address. This form of access control can be configured on either an explicit Allow or Deny basis.
? VLANs, which segment traffic within the mesh, add yet another layer of security.
? Mesh node ESSID encryption and suppression prevents unauthorized viewing of HotPort mesh nodes, even with sophisticated wireless monitoring tools.
? Mesh nodes are digitally signed, requiring certificate based acceptance before any HotPort node can join the mesh.
