The Fluidmesh^® 2200 Duo is the only wireless product designed and manufactured specifically for security, video-surveillance and mission-critical condition monitoring applications. The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo is able to transmit the video streams coming from the cameras directly attached to it and to dynamically route data packets coming from other Fluidmesh units through the optimal network path.

Reliability and flexibility

The wireless mesh architecture enables the creation of reliable and redundant networks, where every Fluidmesh unit can route packets around physical obstacles, sources of interference, or low-quality links.

Simultaneous transmission with two quadri-band radios

The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo features two quadri-band radios with N-Female connectors and can operate at 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz and 5.1-5.8 GHz and modulate up to 108 Mbps. The dual-radio configuration can double the available bandwidth and create 100% full-duplex wireless links. Selecting the most appropriate band for each link doesn’t require any hardware changes.

FluidMAX™

The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo supports the patent-pending FluidMAX™ technology and can be used to create Point-to-Point, Point-to-Multipoint, and Mesh architectures . In developing FluidMAX, Fluidmesh has embraced the WiMax Point-to-Multipoint architecture and enabled its wireless units to operate with a centralized or a distributed Medium Access Control protocol depending on the network layout. The FluidMAX protocol is fully automatic and does not require any set-up by the user. When the network detects that the Fluidmesh 2200 Duo units are set-up in a Wi-Max-style star-based topology, each Fluidmesh unit automatically enables the FluidMAX mode. This feature makes Fluidmesh the only wireless manufacturer in the market with a guaranteed throughput in any network layout.

EasyMesh Platform

The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo includes the EasyMesh™ platform. The EasyMesh technology allows the user to set the same range of private IP addresses across the entire network. This automatic tunneling transparently hides the Fluidmesh Layer 3 network to the connected devices allowing the user to set up the system in Layer 2 , reducing configuration and deployment time.

The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo also includes the FMQuadro™ web interface which allows the user to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the wireless network in real time without the need of an additonal software. The FMQuadro web-based user interface also provides real time throughput analysis and is capable of automatically reporting network congestion scenarios through a fully interactive network monitoring system.

MPEG4, M-JPEG, and H.264 optimization and multicast support

Every Fluidmesh 2200 Endo automatically detects the type of video packets (eg. MPEG4 vs. M-JPEG vs. H.264,  I-frame vs. P-frame) and the transport protocol (e.g., UDP vs. TCP) and optimizes the wireless transmission based on the packet type. Moreover, video packets are prioritized over other packets in order to minimize delays. Fluidmesh technology supports multicast transmission, greatly reducing the required bandwidth for every camera.

AES-128 Encryption Support (FIPS-197 Compliant)

The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo includes support for 128 bit AES Encryption at the link-level which can be used for FIPS-197 compliance. Because AES is implemented in hardware, there is no loss in terms of performance when AES is enabled. The AES-support requires a software plugin to be activated.  

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Support

The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo supports SNMP ver 3. The Simple Network Management Protocol allows to centrally manage the mesh devices with a SNMP server and to receive automatic alarms in case of network failure.

IP68/NEMA6P submersible outdoor enclosure

The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo is designed and manufactured for applications requiring top environmental and physical reliability. The outdoor enclosure is completely submersible and complies with IP68 and NEMA6P standards. The Fluidmesh 2200 Duo can be installed in locations subject to extreme environmental conditions such as seaports, refineries or industrial plants.
