GTC uses a Mesh wireless technology for our MDU wireless systems. We install multiple wireless Access Points on select rooftops, attics, eaves, and other locations to allow tenants to access the Internet with their wireless-enabled computers. Access is controlled via wireless MAC address with individual users enabled or disabled through a web-based administrative console managed either by GTC or the property staff. GTC utilizes Strix System’s mesh radios to build our wireless network. The key advantage of a wireless mesh network is the multiple wireless points communicating with each other creating a very robust wireless canopy that can span large distances enveloping the entire designated area with 802.11b/g wireless coverage. This technology is far superior to the traditional point-to-point wireless networks allowing for deployment in metropolitan areas, garden style MDU properties, or campus environments where previous wireless technologies have proved deficient. Reliability & Superior Coverage : Mesh topology is inherently reliable and redundant, and can be expanded quickly. Each node (AP) is connected to several other nodes. If one node drops out of the network, due to hardware failure or any other reason, its neighbours simply find another route. Extra capacity can be installed by simply adding more nodes. Because mesh networks involve many interconnected nodes, the wireless signals essentially blanket the entire area within the mesh with overlapping signal coverage to provide superior wireless signal strength and density .
