Airpath and Firetide Enter Wi-Fi Mesh Partnership

Airpath and Firetide announced a marketing and sales partnership aimed at large-scale Wi-Fi deployments in locations such as airports, hotels, shopping malls, and other large public venues. Wireless.



Airpath's WiBOSS is a hosted Web-based application that performs back-office tasks necessary to operate and manage public Internet access services, such as subscriber management, provisioning, billing (AAA), transaction processing, branding, reporting, network management, and roaming settlement for Hotspots and Hot Zones. WiBOSS is centrally hosted at Airpath's network operations center, which eliminates the need for providers to have local servers, thus saving implementation time, reducing deployment cost and facilitating management of multiple network locations.



Firetide's HotPoint wireless mesh routers use advanced routing technologies and IEEE 802.11-compliant radios to "unwire" the Ethernet backhaul and create a self-configuring, self-healing mesh network. Firetide networks scale and self-configure instantly by plugging HotPoint routers into standard AC power outlets, providing a simple and reliable alternative to standard Ethernet cable for the backhaul connection. http://www.airpath.comhttp://www.firetide.com
