| SkyPilot Enhances Wireless VoIP Support with Upgrade to SyncMesh SkyPilot Networks has announced the availability of SyncMesh software version 1.5, which enhances the VoIP capabilities across SkyPilot's mesh products. The upgrade includes support for Wi-Fi VoIP handsets and improvements to SkyPilot's quality of service algorithms throughout the mesh. The only synchronous mesh protocol on the market, SkyPilot's SyncMesh software uses a highly accurate GPS timing source to schedule and coordinate simultaneous transmissions. As a synchronous protocol, VoIP traffic can be guaranteed with low latency and low jitter to ensure high-quality voice calls. New capabilities offered by SyncMesh version 1.5 include: - 802.11e/Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) support – Industry-standard prioritization of Wi-Fi traffic is provided to enhance QoS for applications like Wi-Fi VoIP; - Increased prioritization granularity – The total number of priority queues is increased to enable network operators to fine-tune traffic guarantees across the mesh; - Enhanced queue management – Per-device queue management is improved to lower per-hop latency for high-priority traffic; - Enhanced end-to-end mesh prioritization – Link-by-link prioritization is improved to lower latency for traffic throughout the mesh; - Enhanced scheduling fairness – A weighted scheduling algorithm is added for large-scale networks to provide better fairness of throughput throughout the mesh. SyncMesh version 1.5 is currently available and is offered as a free upgrade for SkyPilot customers. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
