Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (formerly Fluidmesh)

“Automation is a top priority over the coming year for our customers. Across industrial environments, like manufacturing and distribution centers, autonomous vehicles are reducing downtime, improving productivity, and ensuring operator safety. In cargo ports, operators are controlling autonomous guided vehicles, like cranes and straddle carriers, safely and efficiently from the comfort of temperature-controlled offices. The Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul network is often at the heart of all these solutions.”

Richard Simmons, VP of Technology, IoT, Logicalis

“Prism has been working with Cisco for years, deploying ultra-reliable wireless backhaul across various industries from autonomous vehicles to rail to amusement parks rides. We know this technology works because we have implemented it in some extraordinarily challenging applications. It was a no-brainer for Prism to engage when presented with the opportunity to support the Indy Challenge to further autonomous development. Together, Prism and Cisco have the right technology and skillsets needed to deliver the connectivity required in high-speed autonomous racing.”

Keith Jones, President, Prism Systems, Inc.

“We evaluated several technologies and none offered the performance we needed to make Clemson’s autonomous racecar prototype a success. We chose Cisco’s Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul for its ultra-low latency, make-before-break seamless hand off, and proven performance in high-speed moving environments. While the vehicle can drive itself, we need Cisco’s solution to ensure safety protocols are in place and that the vehicle can be stopped in an emergency.”
