SmartCast technology intelligently identifies and prioritizes multimedia transmissions at the access point. Specialized schedulers automatically prioritize traffic into separate queues on a per client basis so that packets are transmitted within their delay/jitter tolerance, improving the quality of video streaming. SmartMesh technology is a self provisioning and self-healing non-line-of-sight mesh backhaul solution designed to calculate the most efficient backhaul paths between access points, automatically configuring and provisioning the mesh network.
