Firetide is a privately held company that provides equipment for quickly, easily, and affordably deploying large Wireless Instant Networks. Firetide solutions support existing public hotspots and the company is developing instant networking technology that will deliver everywhere, all-the-time wireless data communication services to hotzones and hotregions. Firetide's approach to WLANs is based on advanced wireless mesh routing technologies. HotPoint Wireless Mesh Routers replace Ethernet cabling and form a Wireless Instant Network, which eliminates costly and time-consuming provisioning. Firetide technology is based on a $50M project originally developed and tested by SRI for the US military. Firetide has invested considerable intellectual property to develop the technology into products and the company has filed patents for technologies that allow self-configuration, self-healing, and advanced security capabilities within the network.«Less
