HotPort 7010-900 Wireless Mesh Nodes

Firetide HotPort 7010-900 Wireless Mesh Node 900 MHz Mesh for Near-Line-of-Sight & Utility Network Backhaul The Firetide HotPort 7010-900 is a dual-radio wireless mesh node engineered specifically for challenging RF environments where standard 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies struggle to penetrate. By combining 900 MHz propagation characteristics with Firetide's proven mesh technology, this node delivers reliable connectivity in near-line-of-sight conditions — through foliage, around buildings, and across rugged terrain. Featuring Firetide's 'Smart Adaptive' mesh technology, the 7010-900 mitigates interference from other 900 MHz devices and adjacent cellular/3G/4G bands, maintaining throughput and reliability in the notoriously noisy sub-GHz spectrum. Ideal for utility SCADA networks, smart grid infrastructure, oil & gas facilities, and municipal applications requiring street-level connectivity. Why Choose the HotPort 7010-900? 900 MHz Propagation Advantage The 900 MHz band offers superior penetration compared to higher frequencies. RF signals at 900 MHz bend around obstacles, penetrate foliage, and propagate further with less attenuation — enabling connectivity in near-line-of-sight conditions where 5 GHz links would fail. Smart Adaptive Technology The 900 MHz spectrum is crowded with ISM devices, wireless sensors, and adjacent cellular traffic. Firetide's noise-aware data path and noise filtering algorithms actively mitigate interference, maintaining mesh performance even in RF-hostile environments. Dual-Radio Flexibility Operate simultaneously on 900 MHz (for challenging links) and 2.4/4.9/5 GHz (for high-capacity backhaul). This dual-frequency architecture lets you use 900 MHz where you need penetration and higher frequencies where you have clear line-of-sight. Self-Forming Mesh Resilience Multiple redundant paths eliminate single points of failure. If one link degrades or fails, traffic automatically reroutes through alternate paths — critical for utility and public safety applications where reliability is non-negotiable. Integrated Spectrum Analyser Remotely monitor RF conditions and interference levels across your network. The built-in spectrum analysis tools help administrators identify interference sources and optimise channel selection without site visits. End-to-End Security 256-bit AES encryption from ingress to egress protects all data traversing the mesh. All Layer 3 IP traffic is encapsulated within the mesh fabric, accessible only to authenticated Firetide nodes. VLAN support enables secure traffic segmentation on shared infrastructure.
