As a spin-off product from our mesh software, MeshDynamics offers OEMs dynamic distributed control for wireless APs in a wired infrastructure - essentially "Distributed Wireless Switches". The software resides in each AP (just above the MAC layer) and together, the APs function in a distributed manner as if they were controlled by a wireless switch - except there is no expensive Wireless Switch box needed APs communicate with each other, conveying information on power levels, channels, and data loading.

Conventional Wireless Switches emphasize central intelligence in the switch and simplification/low cost in the attached access points. These relatively dumb access points service all local clients, whether they are transferring voice or data, The mechanism that decides how bandwidth is apportioned between data and voice devices is CSMA/CA, which uses a random number based, collision-avoidance algorithm. Thus, if a number of data devices are requesting simultaneous transfers, they will interfere with voice traffic, thereby adding significant latency and jitter. Latency and jitter are enemies of VoIP, and this situation rapidly results in deteriorated call quality. Since radio is a shared medium, the only way to prevent this interference is at the source of the problem - the shared spectrum at the AP. By the time the data and voice traffic get to a Wireless Switch, it's too late. The damage has already been done. Our OEM software control layer eliminates interference by supporting separate service radios for voice and data - at the AP - thus preventing data devices from interfering with VoIP devices right at the source. Meshdynamics patent pending technology achieves this by recognizing VOIP phone traffic patterns vs. data traffic patterns and assigning voice and data devices to separate service radios.
