Mobile ad hoc networking solution provider MeshNetworks today announced the release of an embedded software solution to help OEMs build wireless networking equipment using mesh technology.

The MeshConnex software suite is a cross-platform," radio agnostic" implementation of the company’s MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA) technology.

MeshConnex software delivers MEA’s features and benefits in a portable, scalable software solution initially targeted for IEEE 802.xx based radio platforms. It offers support for multiple operating systems for simplified integration.

The product’s embedded components include MeshConnex Core, an implementation of MeshNetworks’ ad hoc routing protocol, Mesh Scalable Routing (MSR), and MeshConnex Access, which provide additional functionality for incorporating MeshConnex Core with 802.1D bridging functions.

MeshConnex’ reference and demonstration platform is initially built on Atheros’ 802.11a/b/g Access Point chipset.

MeshConnex software is currently in beta test, with general product availability scheduled for the second quarter of this year.
