- Project Description: The U.S. Department of Energy lab's IT services and safeguards and security groups deployed a campus security system consisting of 81 cameras and 14 emergency call stations on a wireless mesh network. The lab's operations center receives the camera and emergency call-station signals after they are routed through network security systems designed to detect and prevent unauthorized activities. Using the wireless mesh technology saved the organization an estimated $5 million, compared to a more traditional, wire-based approach.
