Motorola's Latest Broadband Solutions Offer High Availability, Resiliency and Security in the 4.9GHz Band
PTP 49600 and PMP 49400 wireless broadband solutions offer government, state and local agencies with robust and secure connectivity in the 4.9GHz licensed band.
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. – 17 March 2008 – Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced new additions to its proven and cost-effective Wireless Broadband portfolio – the Point-to-Point (PTP) 49600 series wireless Ethernet bridge and the Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) 49400 series wireless network access solution. Operating in the 4.9 GHz licensed band and offering high availability, these wireless broadband solutions provide public safety agencies and local governments with reliable, robust and secure wireless connectivity, while the lower cost of ownership makes them more affordable than leased lines or previously available licensed microwave alternatives.
“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, Motorola Wireless Broadband. “With years of field-proven experience in mission-critical communications, Motorola continues to be the trusted partner on which public safety and government agency professionals across the globe can depend for cost-effective, reliable and secure connectivity.”
High availability and resilience
With the PTP 49600 solution, customers can replace costly leased lines while reducing their operating costs or establish ad-hoc connectivity for disaster recovery, emergency services and special events. Designed for customers who require always-on, secure and reliable connectivity and backhaul solutions that can perform in mission-critical situations, the PTP 49600 bridges can be deployed in harsh and challenging environments. By offering five-nines availability and latency of less than two milliseconds, PTP solutions are ideally suited to backhaul mission critical land mobile radio systems, such as Motorola’s ASTRO® 25, as well as traffic from video surveillance cameras, Motorola Mesh nodes or 4.9 GHz hot spots and command centers. The PTP 49600 solution is an IP-based radio delivering up to 150 mbps and includes integrated T1/E1 ports to provide low latency and jitter for excellent voice quality, which is paramount for public safety and two-way radio system operators to support the critical nature of applications like 9-1-1 or disaster recovery efforts.
“As we looked to Motorola to help us improve the dispatch functions in our 9-1-1 Dispatch Center, we also sought to find a more cost-effective way to backhaul two-way radio traffic on our Astro system,” said Tim McKee, director, 911 Dispatch Center, Chippewa County, Michigan. “We selected the PTP 49600 solution from Motorola because it operates in the 4.9 GHz licensed band, can be rapidly deployed and expanded, and provides a secure and affordable alternative to the T1 leased lines we currently use for connecting the radio towers in our county.”
The PTP 49600 radios leverage time- and field-tested technologies inherent in Motorola’s Wireless Broadband portfolio, meeting a wide range of public safety requirements like resistance to interference or fading as well as signal optimization for maximum data throughput, link quality and availability. They come with robust data security features, which can include an optional layer of security with FIPS-197-compliant AES encryption. A simple network design allows the PTP 49600 systems to complement existing networks and the radios are easy to install. The PTP LINKPlanner design tool allows customers and partners to quickly determine link performance for multiple links prior to deployment, taking into account multiple factors like landscape geography, distance, antenna height or transmit power. The deployment process is simple and quick, making these solutions also ideal for ad hoc, situation-driven connectivity, such as disaster recovery or special events.
Cost-effective alternative networks
The PMP 49400 series of access points (AP) and wireless subscriber modules (SM) provides government agencies and municipalities operating in the 4.9 GHz licensed band with a powerful, cost-effective solution for leased line replacement or enabling wireless video surveillance. By relying on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, these broadband radios deliver exceptional near-line-of-sight (nLOS) coverage in locations where obstructions have previously limited wireless broadband access. For government agencies and municipalities, this means maximized communications, extended coverage, and the ability to provide backhaul or support bandwidth-intensive applications like video surveillance in areas previously hard and costly to reach.
The standard PMP 49400 Access Point configuration uses an integrated 90-degree antenna. In addition, the 400 series is also available as a connectorized solution, allowing operators of overlay, expanded or greenfield networks to choose the antennas they prefer. Leveraging the field- and time-proven technologies found in Motorola’s PMP solutions, including dynamic frequency selection (DFS) and global positioning system (GPS) synchronization, the system provides a globally proven outdoor solution, with reduced power consumption, fast and simple deployment, high reliability, and low-cost ongoing operation. And, with Motorola’s One Point Wireless Manager, network administrators can managing the wireless network easier by providing one unified and intuitive view of all network nodes, including real-time network performance for all equipment types in a map view.
The new PTP 49600 and PMP49400 solutions complement Motorola’s MOTOA4™ mission critical portfolio. The 49600 provides secure and reliable backhaul across land mobile radio systems while the PMP49400 provides reliable and cost-effective point to multipoint broadband access and distribution.
