Xnet
Viper-M mesh nodes explained
The
Xnet Viper-M is a single-or dual-radio outdoor
node, designed to be used for the EMEA market. One of the most
prominently advertised features of the Xnet Viper-M mesh node is the
Hopling Mesh Protocol (HMP) used for meshing, the patented Hopling
Discovery Protocol (HDP) used for the transport of information
throughout the network and the patented Hopling Auto Mesh (HAM)
technology used to automatically configure mesh networks.
Hopling Technologies' HopWARE Mesh
Architecture
(HMA)
is a
“full mesh network” solution as opposed to the tree structure topology as
found in other vendor’s products. The full mesh topology means every
node has connection to every other node in the network and is
capable of sending traffic to that node. Apart from the enhanced
software mesh router capabilities, each Xnet Viper-M mesh node also
contains:
-
Configurable Layer 3
customer gateway, customers traffic can be controlled on a per
session basis, with full control over up/down stream data rates
and QoS parameters.
-
Call Home
functionality, nodes can be deployed anywhere in the world and
as long as they have a route to the Internet can be
automatically configured from a central back-office.
-
Configurable Layer 2
firewall, preventing peer-to-peer traffic across the mesh
network.
-
Multiple Gateway
functionality, meaning the network space can be divided/shared
between different network operators whereby every operator can
have its own SSIDs, VLANs, Gateways, public and private IP
addresses and back-office.
-
Automatic mesh
configuration based on patented Hopling Discovery Protocol (HDP).
One network operator can operate 65536 independent mesh networks
in the same space.
-
HDP Visual (demo), on-board
network monitoring tools that enables the network operator to
get a visual view of its wireless network, HDP Visual also
interfaces with a centralized back-office.
-
Remotely software
upgradeable, taking over existing network operator’s settings
after a software upgrade.
-
Remotely configurable
through secure protocols.
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
inserter
The Xnet Viper-M outdoor mesh node is powered using a
single standard Cat 5 Ethernet cable for both power and data. Read more about the Power-over-Ethernet IEEE 802.3af capabilities of Hopling
Technologies products

HopWARE Power Interface
An option to customers is the HopWARE Power Interface, a device
suitable for Xnet Viper-M outdoor mesh nodes using PoE switches.
