Introduction
PMX Overview
The Portable Mesh Exchange (PMX), is an embedded device that provides enhanced
connectivity for public safety, transportation and other markets. In one unit, SRI delivers
the capability to form a 4.9, 5 or 2.4 GHz mesh network with a backhaul data link or
connection to a Wi-Fi access points via a second radio link.
As a separate node and access point to a mesh, the PMX provides the user with the ability
to expand mesh coverage with the versatility to access the existing networks or attached
cameras. The PMX has two primary configurations; Gateway or Camera. In Gateway
mode, the PMX serves as an interface between wireless mesh networks and existing IP
network via an Ethernet connection. This provides remote drive-up access via wireless
mesh to network attached devices such as cameras, etc. In Camera mode, the PMX can
support one dedicated camera for wireless transmission on the mesh.
The PMX can be installed internally or externally to buildings, poles or structures using
standard mounting hardware. Power is provided over Ethernet or direct DC power if
necessary.
