Motorola Intros Wi-B Public Safety Products for the 4.9 GHz Band

By Vivek Naik, TMCnet Contributor

Motorola has reportedly introduced two new solutions to its wireless broadband product range for the 4.9 Giga Hertz licensed band – the Point-to-Point 49600 series for wireless Ethernet bridges and Point To Multi Point 49400 series for wireless network accessibility.



 
The 4.9 GHz band is used by the Public Safety Network for emergency services such as police, coast guard, fire, national security, disaster management agencies and hospitals to immediately respond to situations that could cause or have caused damage or danger to living things, property or the country.
 
Most emergency services staff are being equipped with mobile computing devices such as laptops and smartphones to facilitate rapid response and mobilize forces by communicating wirelessly via voice, video and map based conferencing, as reported by TMCnet.
 
Now, Motorola (News - Alert) is targeting Public Safety Network markets worldwide as well the growing global demand for Wi-B, as reported by TMCnet, to leverage product sales.
 
“Both the PTP 49600 and the PMP 49400 are an affordable licensed band solution that can help public safety agencies and local governments support applications requiring additional bandwidth, reduce costs associated with leased lines, or backhaul the traffic on their two-way radio networks,” said Phil Bolt, vice president and general manager at Motorola Wireless Broadband.
 
The PTP 49600 solution enables customers to set-up emergency on-the-spot connectivity and work with security guaranteed via advanced encryption standard as required by the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 197. Network availability is certified with only a 1 second failure allowed per day. Its clear audio quality delivery, which is so critical for emergency services, is repeatedly tested for sound conversion delays of only 2 milliseconds between analog and digital devices. It delivers signals with low jitter of 1 Hz and transports data at 150 megabits per second for a radius of 12.4 miles.
 
The PMP 49400 wired access points and wireless access points use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing methods to transmit signals across partial obstructions to remote locations for a radius of 15 miles. PMP 49400 use a standard 90 degree antenna and also accommodates a range of third party antennas via connectors.
