Public safety agencies, such as police and fire departments,
Emergency Medical Service (EMS) need immediate access to
information. And while quick and easy access to information
is important in the modern business world, it is mandatory
to a successful public safety operation.
For accessing critical information such as reports, suspect
profiles and real-time video images, data transfer speed
is a must. However, traditional solutions, providing typical
speeds of less than 19.2kbps, will not provide the speed
to enable the broadband applications to support officers
in the field. Furthermore, cellular solutions (like CDPD
and 1xRTT) result in significant recurring costs to the agencies.
The system provides up to a minimum of 3 Mbps per terminal,
more than sufficient to support simultaneous VoIP, real-time
video and data applications (including RMS, mug shots, finger
prints, warrant requests and vehicle/DMV (Department of Motor
Vehicle) data). Integrated with the agency's network, the
vehicle is transformed into a true "mobile office",
allowing police officers to spend more time on the streets.
Our systems create radio cells (up to ranges of several miles)
that allow cost-effective coverage of vast geographical areas.
We use visual as well as computerized data to define the
proper equipment and placement for maximum coverage.
We enable public safety organizations, transit authorities,
government & utility organizations and Emergency Medical
Services (EMS) to stay connected with vehicles on the move
throughout entire cities and service areas.
Some organizations have attempted to use 802.11b or "WiFi" based
solutions to provide broadband connectivity to vehicles and
found this technology unreliable, unsecured and unmanageable.
This concept requires a higher number of access points (as
many as hundreds in even a small cities), resulting in a
costly and unmanageable system with many points of failure.
Furthermore, 801.11b based networks face devastating self-interference
and interference from the fast-growing number of public and
private "Hotspots", all using the crowded 2.4 GHz
band.
The wireless transmission protocol is highly interference
resilient and very secure. We build networks to fit the topographical
demands of the required coverage area and perform reliably
in non-line-of-sight situations when utilizing all of the
RF equipment spectrum.
The vehicle equipment is mounted in a subscriber unit NEMA
box, designed for the harsh environmental conditions and
is powered through the 12V vehicle battery.
A single, integrated broadband wireless network can cost-effectively
support all above applications. Our systems can integrate
with unlimited other wireless networks.
