Motorola's MESH Networking Technology

Features and Benefits
Motorola's Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA) technology offers features and benefits you won’t find in any other mesh networking solution. Building on know how that can only be gained from real world deployments, it features unmatched performance, scalability and flexibility. These qualities and more are part of every product we offer.

Self-forming and Self-healing Networking
Simplifies network setup and insures superb network reliability.

Automatic Route and Node Discovery
Network setup is automatic and transparent to users and applications.

Dynamic Load Balancing
Minimizes network costs while maximizing the use of network resources by automatically spreading user traffic across local and remote access points.

Non-Line of Sight Broadband Connectivity
Motorola Multi-Hopping™ technology eliminates line of sight issues by routing around obstacles, interference and even network congestion on a packet by packet basis.

Continuous Mesh Routing™ Capability
Nodes can form high performance broadband networks with or without network infrastructure. They can even move seamlessly between infrastructure-based and pure peer-to-peer networks. Client nodes can be leveraged as router/repeaters in peer-to-peer and/or infrastructure-based networks. These nodes automatically fill in coverage gaps and extend the range of the network.

Supports Instant Ad Hoc Network Formation
Instant networks can be formed just by turning on MEA-enhanced radios. This enables a wide range of applications, from on the spot tactical broadband networking for incident response to "plug and play" networking for sensor or home entertainment systems.

Layer 2 Routing Implementation
Motorola Scalable Routing (MSR™) Protocol has been optimized to operate at Layer 2, which delivers higher performance and transparency than Layer 3 approaches.

High Performance and Low Latency Routing
MSR’s ultra-fast route convergence supports bandwidth intensive and latency sensitive applications.

Mobile Soft Handoff Support
Make-before-break connections deliver seamless mobile networking for voice, video and data applications.

Situation Aware Routing
MSR/ATP technology minimizes routing overhead while supporting high speed client mobility.

Spectrum and Energy Efficient Networking
MEA systems can maintain very high data rates over long distances by hopping over a series of shorter links. Not only does this increase end-to-end throughput, it also uses less total system energy per bit than a direct end-to-end connection (as in a cellular network). Spectral reuse is also increased since each node transmits over short distances with low transmit power, regardless of the total end-to-end communications range. By keeping transmit power low, interference is minimized on both a local and system-wide basis. As a result, spectral reuse density is much higher than is possible in a non-meshed architecture.

Support for Symmetric Data Rates On The Uplink and Downlink
Most available wireless networking solutions have a very client/server (end node to network) oriented view of applications and data flows. As a result, it is common that these networks offer limited data rates on the uplink (client to network) connection. As more peer-to-peer and user originated broadband data streams (dashboard video, multimedia files, etc.) have become available, the limitations of this client/server view has become increasingly apparent. These limitations don’t apply to networks based on MEA technology, as it is designed to support a truly distributed wireless data network with symmetric broadband data rate capacities.

Built-in Quality of Service (QoS) and Priority (Class of Service) Management
Control of network traffic available through QoS and Priority Management options allows for prioritization of application traffic (i.e. VoIP, Video) and specific user traffic Application performance is predicable and tunable while users can be offered tiered service levels(Platinum, Gold, Silver, etc).

SNMP Based Management
Our extensive and proven MIB delivers powerful management, monitoring and trouble shooting capabilities. Since every node in the network, including clients, is a managed network element, advanced features such as network wide over-the-air (OTA) updates are supported.


Since 1979, CAL INC has been committed to providing the highest quality service to both private and government entities. Almost 30 years of continued growth is a direct result of fulfilling our mission of providing solutions to customers that bring peace of mind.
