SMART CITY NETWORKING
Providing the Communications Infrastructure for 42 Cities and More than 34,000 Devices
High bandwidth on-street networking for Smart City growth and development.
What is Mesh 5G?
Mesh 5G provides high bandwidth communications to on-street devices using the 5Ghz spectrum with advanced TDMA protocols.
It was developed in 2003 and has since been deployed in over 42 towns and cities across the United Kingdom.
By deploying a Mesh 5G installation local authorities and governments can deploy or connect Traffic Lights, CCTV, VMS, Bus Stops and many others without the need for a costly backhaul or cable connection at each site.
Mesh 5G Enables Smart Cities
Smarter Infrastructure
Mesh 5G provides a smart connection to on-street equipment allowing any type of device to be added and made available anywhere in the city without additional revenue costs.
Smarter Information
With an accessible method of adding low-cost measuring devices and sensors, more relevant information can be made available so decisions can be made with the best possible knowledge.
Smarter Management
With detailed on street real-time knowledge, advanced management systems can analyse huge quantities of data in real time providing city planners with all the information required to make positive changes to a city.
Smarter City
Using predictive software and trend analysis a Smart City can provide local authorities and government the tools needed to better utilise its assets, from autonomous vehicles to waste management.
Wireless Link - Step 1
50% Revenue Reduction
An existing circuit or 4G can be shared between 2 to 20 Devices, whether Traffic Light, CCTV or Sensors.
• This link in its simplest form can be a pair of Radios, but as complexity and the desire to minimise on-site visits, a Mesh Router may be installed. The benefit of this is that more devices can be added simply by plugging them into spare connections on the router. This also allows remote management by AI and Support teams.
• Just connecting two Mesh nodes together halves the communications cost.
Wireless Link - Step 2
66% Revenue Reduction
As more nodes are added it is advantageous to use a Mesh Router to manage the more complex system. This allows remote rebooting of radios and dynamic configuration.
Wireless Link - Step 3
90% Revenue Reduction
The Mesh radios in the diagram have a single back-haul and a fail-over 4G connection, which only uses data when a link fails in the mesh and cannot be auto-corrected without the failover.
