1 Mesh & Mobility: Opportunities in Transportation and Beyond

2 Objectives  Mesh installation types  What is infrastructure mobility? How does Firetide do it?  Mesh and access applications in transportation  Design considerations for mobility

3 From Fixed to Mobile Networks

4 Fixed Wireless Infrastructure Edge node  Deployed on fixed assets  But can be repositioned as needed

5 Portable Video Mesh Solution  “Firetide-inside” portable unit Rapid deployment Battery powered Stand alone or meshed AgileMesh units with integrated mesh nodes

6 Mobile Command Center  CDMA  Satellite  Wireless mesh

7 Access to Network in Vehicles  Can be over Wi-Fi, mesh, or cellular data Urban Fishery park: camera view & laptop view

8 Mobile Mesh: True Infrastructure Mobility Firetide Confidential

9 Mesh & Mobility

10 Many Kinds of ‘Mobility’ Cellular / 3G / 4G mobility  Voice & cellular data Wi-Fi client mobility  Wi-Fi clients moving across Aps Infrastructure mobility  Mesh node moving within one mesh ‘Free,’ but limited coverage  Mesh node moving across multiple meshes High-speed infrastructure mobility over large areas

11 Client Mobility Across Access Points  Convenience to Wi-Fi users  Movement across metropolitan areas  Consistent IP address management of clients across meshes.

12 Infrastructure Mobility Within Single Mesh  “Back to the barn” data dumps Video off-load from busses, police vehicles Maintenance / use information  Construction sites  Warehouses & forklifts  Anything that moves – slowly

13 Infrastructure Mobility, the Firetide Way  Mobility delivers: High-speed movement Movement across multiple meshes Real-time video and voice to/from moving vehicles over large distances

14 Seamless Handover with Infrastructure Mobility Mesh B Mesh A Scan Scan determines stronger radio connection Intermediate state ,2&3 3&4 Logical tunnel, from mobile mesh node to Mobility Controller Mobility Controller

15 Wireless Infrastructure Applications in Transportation

16 Transit Security

17 Wireless ‘Look-in’ – MBTA, Boston 500 busses, 8 cameras each Mobile-to-mobile surveillance Passenger and operator safety; liability protection

18 Wi-Fi Access in Trains

19 Port/Airport Security

20 Real-time Video Surveillance

21 Wireless Off-load

22 Design Considerations for Mobility

23 Mobility: Integral Part of Any Deployment

24 Infrastructure Mobility Design Considerations Equipment Use dual-radio mesh nodes for mobile and fixed nodes Use omni antennas suited for mobility apps on mobile nodes HotView Pro required (if upgrading prior installs) Specify Mobility Controller for infrastructure mobility Specify WLAN Controller if client mobility also needed Consider fiber assets (if available) to connect fixed nodes Antenna type on fixed node will depend on application Typical omni or sector
