Rajant Corporation BreadCrumb‘D ME2 User Guide Version 1.07 Februarx22 2008 1.0 INTRODUCTION Rajant Corporation's (wraianttcgm) ME2 operates on IEEE 8021 lb/g wireless networking standard to form a wireless mesh network. The network is mobile, self-integrating, self- meshing, self-healing, fullvduplex and secure. An internal Li-Ion rechargeable standby battery can power the unit when external power is unavailable The focus is on flexibility, adaptability, and simplicity. The BreadCrumb Wireless Network (BCWN) is intended for rapid deployment of a broadband wireless network into a situation or ‘hot zone’i The network can be deployed as a stand-alone wireless network, or bridged to another network (such as the lntemet) utilizing available reach- back communication links (such as a DSL, cable, or satellite modem) The ME2 provides high bandwidth applications to stream video, audio as well as data over large distances. The network traffic can be secured by using different security features offered by the BCWN. This makes the network optimal for tactical deployments as well as emergency response situations since it offers robustness, stability and ease of setup in mission critical actrvtties,
