For years, our wireless Internet Service Provider customers (WISPs) have come to us to resolve their Hidden Node Problems. In this briefing, we discuss the Hidden Node Problem, and how it the NetEqualizer resolves this issue. Of the numerous growing pains that can accompany the expansion of a wireless network, the issue of hidden nodes is one of the most difficult problems to solve. Despite best efforts, the communication breakdown between nodes can wreak havoc on a network, often leading to sub par performance and unhappy users. Many times, the cost of potential solutions appears to outweigh the benefits of expansion, which in some cases may not be a choice, but a necessity. Yet, hidden nodes are a problem that must be addressed and ultimately solved if a wireless network is to achieve successful growth and development.NetEqualizer and Hidden Nodes: A Real Solution to a Virtual Problem
