Wireless
Mesh Network
Moskaluk Inc. has deployed a Wireless Mesh Network in a small corner of Toronto since
September of 2003. Wireless Mesh Networking has recently emerged as a
forefront wireless technology, and it has the potential to become a key
component in a variety of applications.
A Mesh Network is
typically a network in which the nodes have the capability of
communicating with each other directly. Wireless Mesh Networks are so
named because the links are typically self-forming, and the topology is
based on the wireless environment (Wi-Fi) rather than configuration
parameters.
Wireless Mesh
technology is a high performance, scalable wireless mesh network
solution that has been deployed extensively throughout the world as a
“Last Mile” solution for Internet service providers.
Since Wireless Mesh
Networks do not route all traffic through a central hub, they
intrinsically have more capacity than traditional Wi-Fi deployments. The
traffic between peers in the network can continue to flow even after the
infrastructure node fails, thus reducing the single point of failure
The self-forming,
self-healing nature of Mesh Networks lends itself to environments where
configuration needs to be minimized, resulting in overall low management
overhead. Only minimal system administration (primarily with respect to
security) is necessary in a Mesh Network.
TCP/IP access to the
wired infrastructure is of paramount concern for most wireless
applications, and at first glance routing to and from the wired network
appears to be no different than routing to and from any other node on
the Mesh Network. In actual practice with most applications, however,
the vast majority of communication will be with nodes outside of the
Mesh Network. Therefore, the path between each node and its closest or
optimal access point becomes critically important.
TCP/IP access is a
module that works with the Wireless Mobile Network by bridging functions
at the access point and routing at the client nodes to ensure that
packets destined for nodes outside the Mesh Network are optimally
routed.
Wireless Mesh
Networking is currently being introduced and applied to the Internet
Service Provider market. From the outset, this technology was designed
to be a scalable, high performance solution for broadband Wireless Mesh
Networks. It provides ultra-fast routing to minimize latency, as well as
a self-forming, self-healing design that is essential for use in modern
wireless network applications.
The success of the
Internet (which is a series of networks) has proven that meshed
networking is the best way to build broadband networks. Combined with
new IEEE standards and Wireless technology, a new disruptive technology
is emerging.
Wireless Mesh
Networks are node routing systems in which devices assist each other in
transmitting packets through the network.
The object is to further develop the
wireless mobile network. This deployment is the first of its kind in
Canada.

Moskaluk Inc. is
developing it's own VoIP Telephony with in the wireless mesh. The
immediate potential for services lies in the expansion of commerce by
providing direct and immediate access from the Internet to existing
businesses that operate in a traditional
(Plain Old Telephone) environment.
The near term
value of VoIP resides not only in private intranets but in the provision
of value-added services for circuit-switched networks
. Internet telephony is an emerging technology with great potential to
be a positive influence on traditional telephony. Internet telephony
could be a competitive alternative to the traditional voice
telephony market. In such a competitive state, both
industries would have to innovate and improve to remain competitive.
Mesh Array-AP
Moskaluk
Mesh Array-AP is a wired
or wireless clustering access point which uses a modular way to achieve
a multi-channel mesh, which is more resilient, more secure, reduces
interference and increases flexibility.
Array-AP clusters work over Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections, and
many other media, including licensed microwave, free-space optics, power
line adapters, leased lines, and other network types. 
This
new access point is scalable and flexible enough for you to create
various solutions.
Wireless Mesh & Telephony operators are looking at the next
best thing.
This is the answer with new Array-AP.
Going beyond the wireless mesh production model ranging
around $600 - $800 US.

The Moskaluk Array-AP
is a network appliance that can fit into a standard rack mount.
This 1u network appliance is noiseless, fanless, and motionless
such that it has no moving parts.
The Array-AP does not need any special air-conditioning and is a
low powered fitting for Green computing.
