use of the optional AES128 or AES256 encryption.
NETNode IP radios can be combined in a fluid self forming,
self healing mesh containing up to sixteen radios. The
NETNode radios within the mesh exchange data on a single
frequency, simplifying frequency management. The entire
mesh occupies just 2.5MHz of bandwidth (3.0, 3.5, 5.0 and
6.0MHz also available). The NETNode radios employ the
unique Cobham COFDM modulation scheme and therefore
offer excellent RF penetration and superb NLOS
performance in the presence of multipath.
Control of the deployed mesh is achieved using the inbuilt
web browser or comprehensive Mission Commander PC
application. This software suite, based around a mapping
display, is used to configure and monitor the mesh, and to
control its nodes and cameras.
The mini mesh radio has been specifically influenced for size
limited applications creating the flexibility for deployment by
its unique weight of just 615 grams. Output power is

exchanged between nodes in a point-to-point, or multi-point
fashion and range can be extended by using nodes as
repeaters. The self-forming, self-healing mesh architecture
makes the NETNode product ideal for use in mobile
surveillance applications, command and control, or
advanced robotics.
