FM-1000-GWY

The Cisco® FM1000 Gateway is a rugged industrial-grade network appliance that makes the setup and management of a medium-scale Fluidity system fast and easy. It allows a Fluidity wireless infrastructure to scale to hundreds of radio devices without impacting overall system performance.

Scalability up to 1 Gbps

The Cisco FM1000 Gateway leverages its powerful network processor to handle a large number of packets per seconds, lowering the load on the Cisco FM radios installed in the field. It is equipped with two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and is able to handle up to 1 Gbps of aggregate traffic coming from a Fluidity radio cluster.

Redundancy

More than one Cisco FM1000 Gateway can be installed for the same system to provide redundancy and automatic fault tolerance in the system. Multiple Cisco FM1000 Gateways can be co-located in the same data center or installed in different data centers to provide geographical redundancy.

Reachability

The Cisco FM1000 Gateway helps in connecting different clusters of Fluidity networks that are separated in different broadcast domains. The Cisco FM1000 Gateway will act as the aggregation point for all tunnels and will connect all different portions of Fluidity infrastructure across Layer 3 networks or WANs. Using the Cisco FM gateway, roaming across different clusters belonging to different broadcast domains will happen with zero hand-off time thanks to Fluidity’s make-before-break patented technology.
