MAITLAND, Fla.-MeshNetworks Inc. said it has received a new experimental license from the Federal Communications Commission to deploy a number of fixed and mobile mesh networks.
The company said the license allows it to conduct nationwide trials of new products and technologies at 2.5 GHz and in the newly created 4.9 GHz public-safety band.
The FCC dedicated the 4.9 GHz band exclusively for public-safety applications like video on demand and Voice over Internet Protocol as well as instant access to critical information and databases, according to MeshNetworks.
“Many public-safety agencies are already benefiting from the capabilities of our MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA)(R) technology,” stated Peter Stanforth, chief technology officer of MeshNetworks. “This experimental license will allow us to test and deploy a range of solutions that operate in the newly designated 4.9 GHz public-safety band. We are pleased to be the recipient of this grant from the FCC and look forward to continuing to serve the communication needs of the public-safety community.”
