Unique Mesh Networks for Healthcare Video Survelliance

While WLAN has been and is pervasive; there still  are needs and requirements for pervasive connectivity both inside and outside the building premise. Healthcare instituations often desire coverage where needed and often if they do not have to run cable, especially outside the more the better.  A Firetide, www.firetide.com wireless mesh network is ideal for enhancing safety and premise survelliance. The Firetide system was developed with the video market in mind. The 1.5 millisecond latency provides good video quality and the dual radios in each node can be configured to provide a maximum of 70 megabits/sec throughput. The radios broadcast at 400 milliwatts compared to about 30 milliwatts for the average laptop PC connections and at extreme ranges can provide 10 megabytes/sec over 20 miles.  The radios operate in the unlicensed 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands in addition to licensed 4.9GHz
