Why Azalea?
Azalea brings network intelligence to the world of broadband wireless with an innovative wireless routing technology that sets new standards in price and performance.
Best scalability in the industry with the only true Layer-3 mesh network solutionAzalea's true Layer-3 mesh network solutionWireless networking has untethered the workforce, providing far greater flexibility and a substantial boost in productivity. But despite the many advances in wireless network throughput, quality, security and other areas, one challenge remains: scalable capacity. Most all-wireless network solutions today simply fail to scale without compromising performance, quality of service, availability or some other critical requirement.
The Adaptive Wireless Routing protocol (AWR) overcomes previous limitations imposed by the spanning tree protocol to make all-wireless network infrastructures more intelligent, scalable, flexible and resilient end-to-end.Layer 3, the Network Layer, is where Azalea's intelligent Adaptive Wireless Routing protocol operates. As a dynamic, distributed routing protocol purpose-built for wireless networks, AWR is able to forward packets at near nominal wireless data rates across multiple hops with a per-hop latency of under two milliseconds. And even though AWR is a robust routing protocol, it is remarkably efficient, enabling it to be implemented cost-effectively on wireless nodes with multiple radios.

Seamless mobility and roaming with Azalea's Motrix technologyMotrix™ High-Speed RoamingMotrix is a contraction for the mobile matrix characterizing the ability to roam seamlessly, potentially at very high speeds, throughout an Azalea broadband wireless network infrastructure. The seamless integration of the network and link layers in the Adaptive Wireless Routing protocol provides the cross-IP subnet roaming capability needed to enable clients to move from node to node in under 50 milliseconds while keeping the same IP address, thereby maintaining a continuous connection for the application, including VoIP communications.
With Motrix roaming, users are free to move about the entire broadband wireless network infrastructure without reinitiating active sessions because the seamless transition from one access point to another is completed in under 50 milliseconds.
The highest performance for maximum throughputThe combined effect of Azalea's technological enhancements, all fully integrated at Layers 1, 2 and 3, is industry-leading intelligence and scalable performance for Azalea's broadband wireless network infrastructure. Tests prove Azalea is able to deliver a significantly higher throughput performance compared to multi-radio solutions that utilize bridging, switching or "routing" at the link layer. Just as importantly, this increased throughput performance is sustained independently of the number of hops from source to destination across the wireless network infrastructure.
Lowest cost-of-ownership for service providers, government entities, and industrial enterprisesAzalea Networks has advanced the state-of-the-art by creating the industry's first routing protocol specifically designed for wireless networking. By bringing intelligence to wireless networks, Adaptive Wireless Routing overcomes the remaining challenges that limit the scalable capacity and performance of other all-wireless solutions. With Azalea's intelligent broadband wireless network infrastructure, operators get so much more. Superior multi-radio, multi-hop performance. Radio/spectrum-independent routing. Greater flexibility and scalability. Seamless roaming. "High definition" video quality. Carrier-grade QoS, security and management. And all of this is available at a remarkably low total cost of ownership.
