Hopling Technologies
wireless solutions are self-configuring,
centrally
managed and controlled and use an unique
wireless mesh
design
based on the HopWARE Mesh Architecture (HMA).
The
technology allows easy and cost effective
expansion of the wireless network without the need to
pull any cables. A major advantage of the
employed "mesh" wireless solution over
today's traditional wireless implementations
is that the different nodes communicate with each
other.
Hopling
Technologies mesh topology is a “full mesh
network” as opposed to the tree structure
topology as found in other vendor’s products. The
full mesh topology means that every node is
connected
to every other node in the network and capable of
sending traffic to that node.
The mesh network
reconfigures itself when a node is installed or
removed.
Simply adding another node
will extend the range of your wireless network.
With
the
self-healing
mesh routing algorithms the network has
no single point of failure,
ensuring a complete reliable wireless
roaming-enabled
connection for
your customers.
Hopling
Technologies' full mesh topology also spans the
multiple radio solution, therefore the most flexible
solution for Wireless Solutions on the market today.
Wireless Solution for a Marina
Wireless Solutions 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
small, medium, or large-scale wireless mesh network based on
meshed nodes, e.g.
Xnet
Viper-M, 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.

CAPEX and OPEX
The primary TCO
(Total
Cost of Ownership)
benefit of the centralized approach of a Hopling Technologies
designed mesh network is a significant reduction in operational
costs (OPEX) due to decreased costs involved in configuring and
managing each node as a separate network element. A secondary
benefit to centralized is the reduction of direct costs (CAPEX)
due to lower access point costs over time, and the greater
integration of specific functionality in our back-office
management products.
Mesh networking
Wireless mesh networking represents
a paradigm shift away from the rigid, long-lead planning and
implementation of the wired backbone, and toward a real-time
plug-and-play deployment model that is up to the challenges of
today’s rapidly-changing connectivity environment. By making it
possible to put Ethernet ports anywhere - easily, instantly and
affordably - the wireless mesh will soon have a role to play in
virtually every private and public network. Mesh networks
provide unprecedented freedom and mobility for a growing number
of laptop, PDA and phone users who no longer need wires to
stay connected with their workplace and the Internet.
No mesh network solution available today is as trouble-free,
versatile, feature-rich, secure and affordable as the wireless
mesh networks from Hopling Technologies.
