Paul Boucherle’s 2013 Top Technology Picks
Firetide’s HotPort 5020 product line comes in three variations for application flexibility at a significantly lower price point than its workhorse 7000 Series. With single or dual radios and a reasonable 25Mbps throughput on the edge and 50Mbps on PTP, this product makes reliable mesh networks more practical and affordable for city or campus surveillance applications. Providing linkage for two or three cameras makes this edge product ideal for more coverage points and at a significantly lower price. When the IP video application calls for more locations but in smaller density, this product will help.
