Carrier Class Wireless Mesh
 
Robust, self-healing, 99.999% uptime ... Nothing less will do.  Nothing less should do.  Customers demand better performing wireless broadband which in turn increases Carrier network reliability requirements.  This makes it more difficult for conventional wireless solutions, but not for Skipper.  Our systems were designed and built for Operators who pride themselves on delivering the very best to their customers.  No excuses, no crying, only Skipper.

What is Tru-Mesh? Print E-mail

Tru-Mesh is a mesh technology for wireless broadband infrastructures which delivers exactly what it says: Tru-Mesh. It is not quasi-mesh, almost-mesh, or wannabe-mesh as found in other wireless solutions. Tru-Mesh is built from the ground up using Skipper core technology to deliver a truly distributed, non-hierarchical, non-center weighted wireless network infrastructure. Tru-Mesh was designed to deliver a scalable wireless architecture to satisfy the demanding requirements of Carriers and Wireless Operators at a much lower cost than conventional and older technologies.

Tru-Mesh Technical Overview
Skipper’s system has been designed from inception as a fully distributed IPv6 based wireless routing system with a focus on user mobility. Skipper technology is designed for use in “next-generation Service Provider backbone platforms”, as well as “low-cost consumer products”.

Distributed Routing Each Skipper product is a stand alone IPv6 wireless router. This eliminates the need for expensive centralized infrastructure equipment.

Self-Organising/Healing Our unique routing technology means that the network can dynamically change without the need for any planning or management. It is truly self organizing and healing.

Network Management Network management is accomplished through SNMP.

Superior Radio Technology Skipper has engineered a superior silicon technology which when combined with our patented antenna outperforms all other systems


Patents
Skipper has invested a great deal of original research and development in its very unique and world beating technology. This has led it to file over 20 patent applications in the USA, Europe and Asia to protect this investment.

Skipper has been awarded 4 US Patents to date:

  1. Method and system for providing an active routing antenna (US Patent #7,015,809 )
  2. Method and system for determining direction of transmission using multi-facet antenna (US Patent # 7,042,394)
  3. Method and System for providing an active routing antenna (US Patent 7,221,268)
  4. Method and system for determining direction of transmission using multi-facet antenna (US Patent #7,280,073)

Directional Antenna    
Skipper’s patented antenna switching and routing technology enables each call to dynamically find its way through the network based upon QoS of the call and radio link availability between nodes. There is no need for standard expensive “centrally” located topology look-up as with today’s router based systems.

Geographical Routing    
Unlike other mesh solutions that build up topologies or use sophisticated algorithms to maintain large inefficient routing tables Skipper has designed the system to act dynamically, effectively accommodating the natural ups and downs of a wireless network. With the patent pending geographic routing scheme the optimum route is always chosen regardless of system state. This not only provides the best user experiences but prevents flooding of the network with useless routing data. Applications requiring location data such as homeland security or child safety nets benefit from information already available in the network, while also providing destination information to users on the move.

QoS    
Unique QoS parameter settings based on bandwidth, latency, or jitter are essential for a high-quality user experience, setting Skipper apart from other wireless products.

ASIC    
Skipper has developed its own ASIC in order to support the unique architecture it has developed for MESH networking. The chip includes the necessary MAC, PHY and security requirements to produce an efficient and cost effective Tru-Mesh network system.
