![High-capacity wireless mesh point for rapid outdoor deploymentThe Fortress ES2440 High Capacity Infrastructure Mesh Point utilizes MIMO technology to bring high performance secure wireless communica-tions to outdoor locations and across long distances through a self-forming, self-healing mesh network. The ES2440 offers FIPS 140-2 validated security and is upgradeable to NSA Suite B algorithms*. Delivered in a form factor that is rugged, weatherized and easy to set-up and operate, the Fortress ES2440 functions as both a wireless access point and bridge, with four powerful radios for maximum range and performance. Fortress Mesh Points ensure high performance networking under highly mobile conditions, allowing nodes to move within the network and to seamlessly leave and join the network. Rapidly deployable in theater network extension solution Enabled for COTS-for-SECRET deployments* Ruggedized for use in harsh environments High capacity through 4 MIMO radios Long range links with high throughput and reliability](https://usermanual.wiki/Fortress-Technologies/ES2440X.Marketing-Literature/User-Guide-1815924-Page-1.png)
![Comprehensive SecurityThe central component of DoD and other sensitive network solutions is the ability to ensure data security at all times and at all levels. Fortress products support the most advanced security implementations in the industry. Using standards based, interoperable and compliant security protocols certified to FIPS-140-2 and upgradable to NSA Suite B cryptography, Fortress is a leader in secure wireless networking. Fortress products are unique in that they support in-built RADIUS, advanced Wi-Fi WPA2 security with EAP-TLS, use a hardware crypto implementation and have a hardware based True Random Number Generator (TRNG) ensuring the richest security with the highest performance.FastPath Mesh™Fortress FastPath Mesh technology provides a self-forming, path optimizing, self-healing network architecture designed from the ground up to support truly mobile and often transported networks, elegantly addressing the needs of dynamic tactical networks. FastPath Mesh is link protocol agnostic and utilizes all interfaces and radio links to reach a destination using the lowest cost path. The resulting network is a unique mix of proactive and reactive protocols designed to work together to improve network performance and address moving nodes. Overlaid on the mesh is end-to-end encryption and capabilities to eliminate multicast/broadcast flooding for improved overall network performance. Fortress’s implementation includes a fully distributed DNS capability and is IPv4 and IPv6 multicast-aware.Rugged for OutdoorRobust packaging and enhanced RF specifications are crucial to adapting standard Wi-Fi to the harsh and long range conditions typical in tactical wireless deployments and transportable networks. Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) and highest levels of en-vironmental certification are the cornerstone of providing a solution that can withstand the toughest conditions, can survive constant portability, and can be easily embedded in larger systems. Better quality and high power RF enables reliable, high throughput long distance operation required for typical in-theater operational conditions. Fortress solutions are delivered in ruggedized form factors with superior RF hardware and antennas while remaining more cost effective than custom designed technology once typical in secure networks.COTS+Fortress Solutions leverage industry proven and cost effective technologies adapted for tactical environments. High quality cryptographic implementation Specially rugged packaging State of the art design optimized for size, weight and power consumption High-power, low-noise radio designsFortress’ COTS+ approach provides the most suited solution to address secure wireless networking in military, government and other sensitive arenas.](https://usermanual.wiki/Fortress-Technologies/ES2440X.Marketing-Literature/User-Guide-1815924-Page-2.png)
![Suite B CapableThe NSA Suite B initiative is a common set of cryptographic algorithms to create products that meet the widest range of US Government needs. Suite B Cryptography is built on COTS information-assurance products using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and is under evaluation by the NSA to protect information up to the SECRET level. Fortress products are NSA Suite B capable and can be upgraded where approval is achieved.Hardware Based EncryptionFortress products deliver much higher performance by using a hardware crypto FPGA that enables fast, deter-ministic performance to protect against timing attacks. Fast security throughput is critical in supporting real-time applications such as encrypted voice and video. Fortress’ cryptographic implementa-tion has passed rigorous examination and been approved by NIST.Licensed 4.4 GHz C BandFortress products can operate in the 4.4 GHz C Band a licensed band allocated to US and NATO military use. Operating at 4.4 GHz in the C Band offers several advantages. 4.4 GHz is a licensed band restricted to military use, so it offers an additional level of security, and less crowded use of the spectrum.Superior Performance Fortress Mesh Points use hardware crypto and hardware TRNG to provide fast, deterministic performance that is unmatched in the industry. They are equipped with pow-erful radios that can operate in 802.11 a/b/g modes, providing superior range and performance.GPS EnabledGPS capability provides real-time position data that is displayed in Fortress’s Topology Viewer and Mesh Viewer as well as Google Earth, and Cursor on Target / FalconView for Blue Force Tracking.Features of the ES2440 High-Capacity Infrastructure Mesh PointMade in the USAFortress products are designed and manufactured in the USA to maintain the highest levels of quality with oversight to provide manufacturing design assurance. All software or program-mable hardware devices are built from source code that is controlled in house.Optimal SWaP+C (Size, Weight, Power & Cost)Fortress provides the lightest and smallest Mesh Points in the industry, purpose built for frequent transportation and integration into land, sea and air vehicles. Mesh points operate with diverse power sources and have low power consumption requirements. For tactical applications, Size, Weight and Power + Cost (SWaP+C) are critical considerations. Dynamic Frequency Selection Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) allows automatic detec-tion of radar signals and switching to another channel in less than 10 seconds as per the IEEE 802.11h standard. Fortress products are the only solution to support DFS in both Infrastructure and Mesh mode. RF PerformanceFortress products offer Industry-leading Wi-Fi range and perfor-mance. Using industry standard 802.11 a/b/g and n, Fortress radios operate in the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi bands and optional 802.11a-type communications in the 4.4 GHz and 4.9 GHz bands. Fortress has demonstrated performance with distances in excess of 32 miles.Multicast OptimizationFortress FastPath Mesh products are optimized to minimize multicast and broadcast traffic, improving the performance of the network. FastPath Mesh snoops Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) requests, subscribes to the streams on behalf of the listeners and forwards traffic only on relevant interfaces.2 Rack Units HighThis low profile product can be mounted into standard 19 or 23 inch equipment racks and only takes up 2 Rack units (<3.5 inches) in height.](https://usermanual.wiki/Fortress-Technologies/ES2440X.Marketing-Literature/User-Guide-1815924-Page-3.png)
