1. INTEGRATED MESH NODE OVERVIEW
Innovative Wireless Technologies’ Integrated Mesh Node (IMN) is a fixed infrastructure device that acts
as a repeater or router in an ad-hoc wireless communications network. The IMN is used primarily in
underground industrial mining applications.
The mesh network supports voice communications, text messaging, and tracking of personnel. High
reliability communications is inherent to the self-healing, self-configuring mesh network architecture by
providing redundant communications paths from one device to another. In the event of any node
failure, the system automatically re-routes signals to another device within radio frequency range.
Under normal operating conditions, the IMN is powered by an internal AC/DC power supply, but also
has an internal backup battery option to ensure communications when main power is lost.
Some key features of the Integrated Mesh Node:
Supports simultaneous Voice/Data/Tracking
High reliability communications in underground environments
Supports peer-to-peer communications with other Mesh Nodes
High quality voice communications with minimal latency
Internal battery backup
