The MST200 — An Overview

The Azalea MST200 is the high performance multi-service terminal device specifically designed for outdoor wireless video surveillance. It is the first dedicated device for wireless video surveillance in the industry. This device delivers unprecedented stability and reliability for long distance wireless transmission of high resolution video streams.

The Azalea MST200 simply and reliably handles these difficult problems because of their deep experience in video transmission and wireless networking. This device provides the following three key functions to deliver on the promise of high quality video over wireless networks.

- IP Camera connected via Ethernet    Port Shown in Diagram - 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Models - 400mW Transmit Power - 30 Degree Built in Antenna - Two 10/100 Ethernet Interfaces - Operating Temperature: -40 - 55 °C

Wireless Mesh Advantages

• Dedicated multi-service terminal device for wireless video surveillance
• Wireless video optimization technology, offering quality similar to wired network equipment when used with MSR-series routers
• Exclusive long distance transmission optimization enabling unprecedented quality and stability of video streams up to a distance of 10 miles
  

Market Challenges

To achieve video quality comparable to a wired network, typical wireless network providers face many insurmountable challenges, including low bandwidth, distortion, video pixilation (mosaic appearance), high packet loss rates, long delays and frame jitter.

Network Video Delivery Technologies

When interfacing with other nodes in the mesh networks, Azalea's patent-pending technology AVT™ automatically reduces the effects caused by instability of transmission bandwidth. It inspects the video packets, prioritizes them, and prevents key errors from occurring in transmission. At the same time, AVT™ performs adaptive jitter removal not only controlling the video delivery rate, but also the timing to produce constant, stable video packets.

Video-Optimized QoS Technology

All video streams entering the MST200 are automatically identified and tagged. Different queuing techniques are employed to give video streams the right priority for transmission. While there are many types of non-video traffic in the network, they will not affect the transmission of video streams. The Video QoS is fully implemented by Azalea mesh network MSR routers throughout the network until the streams reach their destination.

Optimized for Long Distance Transmission

Network video optimization ensures adequate bandwidth for long range transmission (>10 miles).These capabilities enable the MST200 to transmit high quality video streams in severe environments. In addition, this device has comprehensive, sophisticated authentication and encryption mechanisms to ensure the privacy of client data.

The MST200 offers rapid, seamless roaming and handoff thus delivering high quality video streams. The MST200 also provides advanced functions such as user configuration and remote software upgrades.

To achieve these advanced capabilities, the Azalea MST200 uses the same high performance hardware platform that is used by many leading wireless bridge and mesh access point manufacturers. Its high-speed processor and memory exceeds the industry norms. The Azalea MST200 is in a class by itself when high quality, reliable wireless video surveillance is needed.
