Wireless mesh solution for security professionals

BGW Technologies has found the solution to Australia’s growing need for reliable, high-performing indoor and outdoor wireless infrastructures for video surveillance, industrial, utility and transportation networks. It can now provide scalable wireless mesh solutions which reduce the time and cost associated with traditional cable installation thanks to a new strategic partnership with Firetide.

Joshua Simmons, BGW Technologies’ General Manager of New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia, said: “We are seeing an explosion in the demand for scalable wireless mesh solutions among municipalities, public safety and industrial markets.

“The collaboration with Firetide is of strategic importance to us as we address customer needs for reliable, high-performance wireless technology that can be quickly and cost-effectively deployed in extremely harsh environments.”

The Firetide wireless mesh network can remove most, if not all, of the issues associated with wiring difficult locations as the product eliminates the need to trench for fibre between locations.

The mesh networks enable cameras to be installed quickly and cost effectively, making it suitable for temporary venues requiring video surveillance, such as concerts, festivals and sporting events.

Firetide’s infrastructure mesh networks can operate in the 900 MHz, 2.4, 4.9 and 5 GHz spectrums and enable multiple network services and standard ethernet devices to operate virtually anywhere over a high-speed wireless infrastructure.

The entire Firetide product line, including HotPort wireless mesh nodes, HotPoint access points, the HotView Network Management Software, Mobility and WLAN Controllers, as well as a wide variety of antennas, cables and mounting accessories, is now available at BGW Technologies.
