Metro Networks, based on Hopling Technologies'
mesh networking, offer compelling benefits to
cities of all types: extending services to citizens,
encouraging tourism, and helping field-based workers
to be more productive and more responsive.
While cities share a common responsibility to
serve and safeguard their citizens,
there is tremendous diversity in how cities invest
in outdoor meshed networks.
There are
several successful business models for cities
to choose from when implementing an outdoor wireless
network, including a wholesale business model,
public-private partnership model, and a more hybrid
approach. Having the right wireless
infrastructure
and combination of partners gives cities the
flexibility to choose the business model that works
best for them.
Hopling Technologies Metro Networks helps
cities around the globe to deliver new and improved services to
its citizens
on a larger scale and with greater efficiency. They
can help cities achieve a wide variety of goals,
from improving safety to fostering economic
development.
Tested citywide solution suitable for Metro Networks
Metro
Networks are based on a centralized
architecture.
The
Xfire Hopgate
provides
secure management access to the Internet using Virtual
Gateway technology, Bandwidth Management per user per
session, Firewall capabilities and VPN client-services.
Addressing,
management, roaming, compression and security of a Metro
Network, based on the outdoor
Xnet Viper
multi-radio mesh node, can be managed using the
Xfire Hopman
network element manager, Hopling Technologies central
management server. Although the mesh network can run
standalone, it is advisable to have a centralized
management server when the network grows above a dozen
nodes. Every node requires separate control channel
running from the mesh node to the central management
server. Through this control channel the management
server is able to communicate directly to each node.
Each control channel terminates on the
Xfire Hoptun
- VPN
Tunnel Terminator.
As an addition the company offers the
Xfire Hopbase
network
services manager, a web portal that provides functions
such as Database-, DNS-, Login-, Radius-, VPN-services,
and Bandwidth Control.
