| A typical m.e.s.h. installation includes a central server and one or more linked switches. |
| Data segregation is achieved using layer 3 V-LAN switches. |
| Switches are configured and managed through the m.e.s.h. server. |
| Software includes an enterprise level firewall, traffic / bandwidth control and management software running on a Linux distribution, proven for its security and reliability. |
| m.e.s.h. is designed to cope with a wide variety of network infrastructures allowing for versatility in cabling, it will install neatly into any business centre with a CAT-5, CAT-5e, CAT-6 or fibre cabling infrastructure. |
| The m.e.s.h. server runs on an embedded fanless hardware platform, which is environmentally friendly due to its low power consumption (60W). |
| m.e.s.h. is compatible with all types of external interface including ADSL / ADSL 2+ / SDSL / bonded ADSL / leased line, or a mix of lines in any combination. Lines can be grouped together, reserved for VOIP traffic to preserve quality of service, or used as dedicated backup lines for failover. |
| VOIP integration is achieved by routing traffic for a hosted service down a dedicated line, or alternatively by linking with on-site hardware. |
