1. 1 Mesh & Mobility: Opportunities in Transportation and Beyond

2. 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. 3 From Fixed to Mobile Networks

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

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

6. 6 Mobile Command Center  CDMA  Satellite  Wireless mesh

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

8. 8 Mobile Mesh: True Infrastructure Mobility Firetide Confidential

9. 9 Mesh & Mobility

10. 10 Many Kinds of ‘Mobility’ Cellular / 3G / 4G mobility  Voice & cellular data Wi-Fi client mobility  802.11 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. 11 Client Mobility Across Access Points  Convenience to Wi-Fi users  Movement across metropolitan areas  Consistent IP address management of clients across meshes.

12. 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. 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
