Ensure Passenger and Operator Safety

Transportation

Transportation and mass transit agencies have a variety of security, operations, and communications challenges that can be quickly and cost-effectively solved with Firetide wireless mesh networks. Firetide enables rapid deployment of wireless networking infrastructure to provide mobile connectivity 24/7 for passenger and operator safety, employee mobility, efficient business operations, liability protection, and enhanced services to patrons, including Wi-Fi® access.

With a wireless mesh network from Firetide, you can realize the benefits of IP-based real-time video surveillance, wireless connectivity at depots, and voice over IP communications. Firetide wireless mesh networks dramatically increase passenger and operator safety—where previously real-time response has been impossible—enhancing the safety and security of passengers, first responders, and transit personnel alike.

Public Safety 4.9 GHz

4.9 GHz Wireless Networks for Law Enforcement and Emergency Response

Fire truck

Communications is quite literally mission-critical for law enforcement agencies, fire departments, emergency medical service providers and other public safety organizations. In the past, first responders were limited to voice communications with each other and with command and control. The result was a potentially dangerous lack of situational awareness. More recently, the available options have expanded to narrowband data, textmessaging, satellite video and other forms of communications. The many commercial advances in broadband wireless networking, however, have yet to be leveraged in public safety communications. But that is all about to change: The advent of licensing in the 4.9 GHz spectrum for the exclusive use of public safety agencies is certain to bring about the kind of breakthrough communications capabilities that are long overdue.

One of the more significant technological advances is the broadband wireless mesh network. Mesh networks form instantaneously and automatically and heal themselves when a link is interrupted or broken. A mesh network can deliver the performance needed to support "multimedia" voice, video and data communications, and is compatible with virtually any existing equipment, network and software. The mesh itself is stable and secure, yet utterly simple to use and extraordinarily flexible. These and other characteristics make wireless mesh networks ideal for mission-critical public safety applications. Firetide, the leader in commercial wireless mesh networking for businesses and service providers, now offers the HotPort wireless mesh nodes, which support the 4.9 GHz public safety band. This application note highlights some of the many ways public safety agencies can utilize a HotPort mesh network for both routine operations and incident response. As will be shown, the full potential of sophisticated field communications for public safety personnel is now a practical and affordable reality with the HotPort mesh network.

Video Surveillance

VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

Enhance Safety and Lower Surveillance Costs

Vid Surv

Video surveillance is without question a powerful tool for public safety and security and with the increasing need for more security in airports, schools, and other critical environments, the demand for video installations is growing rapidly. An obvious benefit of video surveillance is 24/7 monitoring of both densely populated areas and remote, isolated locations. Whether used for live monitoring, recording, or both, video has proven to be invaluable for identifying individuals, spotting criminal activity, and recording accidents and other events.

Being able to connect digital video cameras to computer networks and the Internet has increased the flexibility and accessibility for both collection and distribution of video data. Although this enables cameras to be installed in more locations, the availability of network ports and cabling is still a limiting factor when deploying video cameras in many locations.

A Firetide wireless mesh network can eliminate most, if not all, of the issues associated with locations that are too difficult or expensive to wire. By providing a wireless network backbone, Firetide mesh networks enable cameras to be installed without pulling cable through walls, trenching for fi ber between buildings, or drilling holes for cables in older and historic buildings that were not designed for computer networks.

By being able to deploy cameras quickly and cheaply in indoor and outdoor settings, security professionals can extend safety services with minimal additional staff or installation costs. Video surveillance for temporary venues such as concerts, festivals, and sporting events can be set up and removed quickly to service many events. This provides maximum utilization of the equipment with minimal installation effort and expense at each location.

CONSTRUCTION

Cost-Effective, Flexible On-Site Communications and Surveillance

Construction - Dubai

The temporary and constantly changing nature of construction sites creates special challenges not found in other networking applications. The site itself transforms daily. The workers even change from day to day as phases get completed and different subcontractors come and go. Construction sites also have a high incidence of theft and vandalism. Tools and building materials disappear, and equipment is damaged or sabotaged. These and other unique characteristics create a need for flexible information access and security monitoring.

The variety of different construction environments from the highway to the high-rise all have at least one thing in common: it has been impractical or impossible to use traditional wired network solutions. Where cabling has been installed, its deployment has proven to be disruptive, expensive, inflexible and prone to damage.
