Pro-Vision, the independent distributor of branded CCTV and access control equipment has said they are now authorised to sell and support the SilverNet range of wireless solutions – including their popular Mesh system.
Simon Davies, Internal Sales Manager for Pro-Vision said: “Mesh networks are fast becoming the preferred option where wireless cover is required over a vast area like a University campus environment or town centres where Wi-Fi is required”.
Mr Davies added: “Mesh systems are basically a multipoint to multipoint wireless network. Several nodes are used and each node can forward and receive packets from its neighbouring nodes. This allows dynamic routing of the packets between nodes. Each node chooses the best pathway to send its packet by comparing the optimum signal against the interference conditions. The system can therefore be referred to as self-learning which means that the network is reliable and packets are sent via the quickest path. Plus if a node goes down or fails, the packets will still reach their destination as a different route will be taken so the system is also considered as self-healing. Mesh systems are increasingly popular as they are able to cover vast areas and the networks are easily extended by the addition of more nodes”.
