Network Switches, MX Routes traffic + gateway to other networks and local hosts
Base stations, BRU Services a radio cell of up to 30km in diameter
A Mobitex network can be configured in man different ways, from a large public network providing nationwide coverage to a small, privately owned network serving a single company or region.
Mobitex Base Stations (BRU)
The basic functionality for a Mobitex network is provided by a number of radio base stations and one or more switches. Each base station, just the size of a briefcase, services a single radio cell, which typically has a diameter of 20 to 30 kilometers, depending on environmental and other conditions. Together the base stations provide and area of coverage and determine the capacity of the network. Wireless devices communicate with the nearest base station but are also able to roam freely between radio cells and from one base station to another as the user’s location changes. The system operates on the 400, 800 and 900 MHz frequency bands.
Mobitex Switches (MX)
A Mobitex network normally contains many switches, which are organized in a hierarchy of local and regional switches, all of which are connected by fixed links. The local switch routes traffic to and from the base stations and provides connections between wireless devices and fixed terminals.
Local switches also provide important gateways to other networks. In the standard network configuration, there is an X.25 port implemented directly in the local switch, but several other gateway options, including IP connectivity, are available.
Network Control Center (NCC)
The entire network is supervised and managed from the Mobitex Network Control Center (NCC). The NCC handles all operations and maintenance tasks, including network configuration, alarm handling, subscriber administration and billing information. Individual base stations and other network components can be reconfigured from the NCC, thus minimizing the need for costly and time-consuming site visits.
For small, privately owned networks that do not require all of these functions, the management system may be hosted on a single computer. The NCC or management system is normally located at the company’s operations or dispatch center.

The requirements
Totally reliable system with high capacity
High level of application requirements
Maximum security
Scalable with significant capacity to grow
Easy to add new functionality and users
QAS identified the need for a reliable and secure system to locate ambulances closest to emergencies and to be able to communicate wirelessly between the vehicle and the hospitals. As an emergency service, QAS required a system with high capacity and a high level of application requirements and also demanded a private network operating on the 400 MHz frequency band for security reasons

QAS
A case from Australia
The solution
350 ambulances equipped with Mobile Data Terminals
Mobitex mobile data network gives control over capacity and coverage
Ericsson and partners supply total solution incl. Project management, application, operations training and support
QAS sought to overcome the limitations of the CAD systems by acquiring an Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) solution and a separate Mobitex mobile data network to provide data communications to its fleet and assure that the recommendations of closest available units were more relevant and timely. To resolve the accuracy of data issue QAS equipped the ambulance fleet with Mobile Data Terminals
The solution allows for significant vertical expansion in terms of capacity to ultimately allow for more and sophisiticated mobile data applications and potentially accomodate additional Public Safety Organisations.
It gives QAS totally reliable communications with high capacity, low operational costs and high availability of the network.
4 other network suppliers were screened and evaluated in the process. Tetra, DataTac, GPRS and ????
