Happy Holidays

It has been a really busy month with lots of excitement here at HauteSpot:

• We just moved our offices (again) to a wonderful new facility that will allow us to provide better customer training, store more component inventory, have more reliable network connectivity (one block from the ATT Central Office), and have more parking. All in all it is a great move for both us and our customers. Our phone numbers, fax numbers and email all remain the same.
• We just completed interoperability testing with the most demanding 16 MegaPixel IP cameras on the market. Their nominal data rate was over 70 Mbps and the HauteROUTER HR-IXPSXP-5 kept up, supporting a wireless link that performed well with no jitter.
• We have signed on some phenomenal new sales reps to help us better service our customers:
• Communication and Video Reps (CVReps) is now handling sales representation for us in California, Nevada, and Arizona.
• Technology Representatives is now handling sales representation for us in the New England including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Eastern New York, and Massachusetts
• The HauteWRAP HR-WRAPCX has now had some great field testing thanks to one of our customers in the robotics market. We are confident that this new 2.4GHz only lower cost end node, together with the HauteWRAP HR-WRAPLX multi band modular end node, will be ideal for surveillance applications which are cost sensitive.
• Finally, the FCC has finalized rules for the 3.65GHz band which allows customers to operate in the frequency using our equipment. See the story in the side bar to the right.

Holiday Hours - Important!

Please be aware that our office will be closed from Dec. 22, 2008 to Jan 2, 2009 for the holidays. Any electronic orders received during this period will be shipped on or after Jan. 2.

Using the latest in System on a Chip technology, the high performance system is the ideal end node where a single IP camera or encoder is located. Uses the same software as our HauteWRAPSX and DX models, but with a trimmed down processor board. Supports TDMA operation and can be used with any HauteWRAP products.
	HauteWRAPCX-2 - Low Cost 2.4GHz Wireless Router/End Node. This rugged outdoor unit is designed to be the lowest possible cost, high quality end node equipment for video surveillance. Using the latest in System on a Chip technology, the high performance system is the ideal end node where a single IP camera or encoder is located and 2.4GHz frequency is used. Uses the same software as our HauteWRAPSX and DX models, but with a trimmed down processor board. Supports TDMA operation and can be used with any HauteWRAP products.

HauteWRAP^TM Product Family TDMA and Simple Interface

Beginning with release 3.14 of the HauteRouterOS system on the HauteWRAP product family, we have begun to offer two major changes to our systems. Both are intended to simplify our systems and make them faster to install and use.

First, the HauteSPAN Time Division Multiple Access - like (TDMA-like) mode is the default operating mode for the system. When HauteWRAP products are shipped, they will have a default operating mode of HauteSPAN TDMA-like enabled, not 802.11. The HauteSPAN protocol is designed specifically for video IP applications over wireless. It does a number of things, including:

• It eliminates collisions that cause jitter
• It provides equal bandwidth access to all nodes
• It provides more even data spacing (also reducing jitter)
• It reduces the hidden node problem that effects WiFi and mesh
• It provides better scalability when compared to WiFi or mesh protocols.

Setting a HauteWRAP back to standard 802.11 operation is simple and can be done by any administrator via the console or client-server application with one simple command.

Second, all HauteWRAP products will now be shipping with a greatly simplified web interface, designed specifically for installers. In two simple pages, the installer can set all of the parameters for the system and align the antenna for optimal signal. Installers need very little network experience and can easily be trained to use this new interface.

There are two user accounts for the system by default. "Install" only has access to the web interface and basic configuration features. "Admin" can access the system from telnet, ssh, or client-server application. For troubleshooting or advanced configuration, the Admin account can fully administrate all features of the system.

"So easy, anyone can do it...even my parents!"

For OEM customers we can also customize the web interface.
