MESHnet - Network Access Unit

Overview

The MESHnet Network Access Unit (NAU) is a high speed Internet Protocol switch/router at the heart of the digital intercom and data network, and acts as a node for inter-vehicle connection.

The NAU can operate in a stand-alone or networked manner to provide access to local and remote intercom, radio, telephone services and Ethernet IP networks. For the fault tolerant network communications, the NAU provides both an internal dual ring intercom and external inter-vehicle mesh connections.
