by Brianna Crandall — December 15, 2014—Fluidmesh Networks, a provider of wireless systems for security, industrial, and mission-critical applications worldwide, recently introduced its 5.1-5.8 GHZ point-to-point kit. Complete with two radios, two mounting brackets, and two Power over Ethernet (PoE) injectors, the Fluidmesh PONTE-50 is designed to quickly and cost-effectively create simple wireless links.

PONTE provides up to 50 Mbps of real throughput up to two miles in Line of Sight (LOS), says Fluidmesh. The radios operate on the 5 GHz band and use a 2×2 MIMO radio technology for maximum performance and reliability.

“We have designed PONTE to capture the entry-level wireless PTP market and offer integrators an intuitive and cost-effective solution for those simple wireless jobs where budget is limited,” notes Cosimo Malesci, co-founder of Fluidmesh.

“The product offers all the quality and technology that comes with all Fluidmesh radios, as well as live tech support by e-mail or phone. We have packed into it our innovative Prodigy MPLS Protocol, our easy-to-use FM-Quadro Interface, and our world-class customer support.”

Fluidmesh Networks was founded in 2005 by a team of researchers and visionaries from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Polytechnic University of Milan (Politecnico di Milano). Since its beginnings, Fluidmesh says it has been delivering reliable, fiber-like performance via unlicensed wireless spectrum, providing connectivity for mission-critical video, voice, and data.
