- No MAC exposure to public networks
What is EdgeLink Daisy?
EdgeLink Daisy extends the reach of a single EdgeLink router by securely connecting multiple downstream intersections behind it, without needing additional cellular subscriptions. Think of it as a Daisychain behind an EdgeLink. Using Layer 2 extensions, Daisy allows agencies to piggyback nearby intersections over local wireless, fiber, or copper interconnect, all while maintaining the same zero-trust, encrypted CaaS overlay.
One cellular edge → multiple connected intersections.
Common Daisy Scenarios
- One 5G EdgeLink at a hilltop cabinet feeding 2–3 downstream intersections
- Fiber or copper extension between closely spaced cabinets
- Wireless point-to-point bridge for short-range intersection aggregation
- Temporary construction corridors with shared backhaul
- Rural arterial stretches where fiber trenching is cost-prohibitive
How EdgeLink Daisy Works
- Primary EdgeLink Router establishes secure CaaS overlay over 5G
- Downstream intersections connect locally to EdgeLink via Wireless bridge (Layer 2), Fiber extension, and Copper Interconnect.
- All downstream devices inherit such as Secure private IP addressing, Encrypted transport, and Centralized access control
- Traffic appears at the TMC as native devices, not exposed public IPs.
- Rural arterial stretches where fiber trenching is cost-prohibitive
No reconfiguration of carrier NATs. No firewall gymnastics. Just efficiency + instant network magic.
