FatNode Wireless Router
The FatNode Wireless Router is a purpose built device allowing customers to deploy cost-effective wireless networks in a campus or industrial environment that are easy to implement and support. Originally designed for use with F4W’s tactical, wireless convergent communications networks, the FatNode is now offered as a stand alone product in industrial or campus environments. Utilizing Software Definable Radio technology, a FatNode is capable of cutting through the most saturated of RF environments while delivering exceptional distance and throughput. This technology does not require expensive “hard to use” network management systems. Because the FatNodes create a fully distributed network, every FatNode includes an easy to use router management system allowing any user to install a FatNode within minutes and support the entire network from a laptop. Centralized management servers and software are not required. Configurations and settings are easily defined and maintained without the need for RF engineers or IT specialists.

Features & Benefits
- Configuration MUST occur through the Network Management System’s (NMS) encrypted and configurable tunnel.
- The NMS also acts as a centralized backup and restoration center for the device configurations to be saved and restored.
- PPoE and PPTP tunneling protocols are supported both internally and externally.
- The option of running a full firewall with NAT/PAT functions and protocol filtering.
- The device can be put into “stealth mode” where no SSID or beacons are broadcast or sent and the device only listens for connection attempts.
- Frequency bandwidth can be configured for optimal distance and penetration for all supported radio types.
