Communicate. Locate. Interoperate.
Mesh-Enabled Solutions for Law Enforcement Agencies

MeshNetworks makes any Law Enforcement vehicle equipped with a laptop or handheld computer a mobile office. Officers get real-time access to databases, surveillance cameras and reporting tools that enable them to be more efficient while in the field. Broadband connectivity keeps them more informed of incident situations, increasing the safety of the officers and the public. It is an ideal replacement and upgrade for the soon-to-be-discontinued CDPD network. MeshNetworks offers 10x to 50x the bandwidth of this aging cellular data solution.

In addition to its high data rates, MeshNetworks also offers built-in position location - without the use of GPS equipment. Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and personnel/asset tracking are just a few of the additional applications that Mesh-Enabled mobile broadband networks provide, which are not available from CDPD or other commercial data networks.

MeshNetworks’ patented and proven peer-to-peer wireless networking, originally developed for the US military, eliminates dependency on public cellular networks and their inherent vulnerability to congestion and failure. Multi-hopping™ routing technology effectively makes Law Enforcement vehicles, foot officers, call boxes and other devices act as router/repeaters for all other devices in the network. This creates a highly distributed, robust, and reliable communications system. It offers the wide area coverage and mobile communications capabilities found in cellular systems, while providing far greater data rates and redundancy. Law Enforcement agencies can get all of these features today, without high, monthly, carrier access charges.

Mesh-Enabled Benefits

One Network, Many Solutions
MeshNetworks offers the only single network solution that provides a robust distributed mobile communications system for broadband data, video, and voice back-up - when and where it is needed: While in transit to, and at, an incident site.

Don’t be Handcuffed!
Mesh-Enabled networks can be quickly and inexpensively deployed to meet budget requirements and eliminate the high cost of monthly cellular access and equipment charges. And unlike 802.11, Law Enforcement personnel are not tied to pre-defined hot spots in order to have high bandwidth wireless connectivity.

System Busy?….Not with MeshNetworks.
Will your critical data get through the public cellular network during peak usage hours or when a disaster strikes? At these same times, every other public cellular user is also trying to get on the network. With a MeshNetworks solution, every Mesh-Enabled device builds and selects routes that optimize throughput and minimize congestion. Devices can “hop” through each other to reach multiple network access points – avoiding congested and overload nodes. The result is better performance, maximum throughput and increased reliability.

Upgrade Your “Sneaker-net” to the Wireless Internet
Communications between agencies during an incident today typically involves runners carrying notes between commanders. MeshNetworks' MeshNetworks Enabled Architecture (MEA™) solution provides end-to-end IP protocol support, which allows agencies to share information and applications. Mobile Data Terminals (MDTs) and laptops can be instantly Mesh-Enabled with MEA PC cards to form a shared command and communications network anywhere, and at anytime.

Connect in Town or Cross Country
MeshNetworks provides SWAT, incident response and other specialized units with an on-scene, instantly deployable, tactical data communications network. Video from supporting aircraft can be sent to ground units to improve situational awareness. Since MEA networks are IP based, these units can also be linked directly to local command centers or federal agencies across the country.

Location, Location, Location
In addition to its data communications capabilities, every Mesh-Enabled device has built-in position location capabilities – that don't require the use of GPS satellites. This means that Law Enforcement assets can be instantly located in a city, county or even inside a multi-story building
