Wireless Mesh Networks and the Smart Grid

Wireless Mesh Networks and the Smart Grid Video Clips. Duration : 50.70 Mins.

Google Tech Talks December 15, 2008 ABSTRACT Reliable two-way communications are a central component of the effort to modernize the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Wireless mesh networks are particularly suited to the task, offering a robust, self-healing architecture that is independent of the grid's own conductors, capacity that can carry not only meter and sensor data but also support video monitoring of critical infrastructure and broadband communications for line crews, and versatility to support many other applications, including public safety, intelligent transportation systems, and public access. Utilities are increasingly deploying Wi-Fi mesh networks as communications backbones, and in some cases as complete solutions for connectivity all the way down to the meter. This talk will discuss the state of the art in wireless mesh technology, including innovations that came about through building and operating the GoogleWiFi network in Mountain View in collaboration with Google. Speaker: Cyrus Behroozi Cyrus Behroozi is Chief Scientist at Tropos Networks. He joined the company in 2000 and developed its first wireless mesh networking hardware. He currently researches network performance in large-scale city-wide Wi-Fi mesh networks, exploring techniques to improve reliabilty, enhance coverage, and increase capacity. Toward these goals, he has developed advanced distributed algorithms for route selection, power and bit rate control, airtime ...

Dust Networks: SmartMesh IP Introduction, Kris Pister

Dust Networks: SmartMesh IP Introduction, Kris Pister Tube. Duration : 5.72 Mins.

Dust Networks announces SmartMesh IP, Intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks for IP. www.dustnetworks.com. The idea that now you can easily integrate an IP-based sensor into an enterprise application, into a database where you're already storing customer information or manufacturing information, and use the business logic that you've already got to take that additional information about how your systems are operating and use that to improve your efficiency, to improve your productivity, to improve the safety of your operation, that is a revolution that's in process. SmartMesh IP and IPv6 sensors in general are enabling that future.

LTE Advanced: Heterogeneous Networks

LTE Advanced: Heterogeneous Networks Tube. Duration : 6.28 Mins.

Since radio link performance is approaching theoretical limits with 3G Enhancements and LTE, the next performance leap in wireless networks will come from the network topology. Using a mix of macro, pico, femto and relay base-stations, heterogeneous networks enable flexible and low-cost deployments and provide a uniform broadband experience to users anywhere in the network.

Katrina Relief Efforts - Alarius Networks Wi-Fi Technology - Rural Broadband Expansion

www.LAraptorNet.com We led a mission-critical effort that established wireless communications for rescue teams, FEMA, the Red Cross, and citizens after Hurricane Katrina. Our team deployed approximately 120 miles of wireless (WiFi) telecom technologies that spanned from Baton Rouge to Slidell Louisianna. These efforts were implemented within a period of three weeks, and were kept operational for approximately 2-years. I am going back to the good people of the Delta for Rural Broadband Expansion in the South
