American cities have embraced Motorola’s technologies to improve public safety, commerce and civic life for over 65 years. As many civic agencies begin to embrace wireless data technology, Motorola is deploying a multi-radio wireless networking solution with multiple benefits across all segments of civic life.

MOTOMESH Quattro, a four-radio meshed network with Mobility Enabled Access (MEA) is rapidly transforming how city agencies interoperate and how city residents communicate.  Municipal leaders are improving civic life with MOTOMESH Quattro by blanketing their cities with not just one, but multiple networks for public safety and public works agencies as well as city residents and visitors.

MOTOMESH Quattro architecture delivers dedicated, mobile, broadband access to diverse municipal agencies at licensed 4.9GHz and 2.4GHz spectrum while providing WiFi access to the public. MOTOMESH Quattro technology supports up to four radio networks in a single access point and is built on Motorola’s proven Mobility Enabled Access (MEA) mobile broadband networking technology.

Multiple Radios for Public Safety, Public Works & Public Access

Every MOTOMESH Quattro access point contains two standards compliant 802.11 (WiFi) radios and two of Motorola’s widely acclaimed MEA mobile broadband radios. One set of WiFi and MEA radios operate in the unlicensed 2.4GHz band, and the other operates in the 4.9GHz public safety band.

Seamless broadband data connectivity is available throughout the network to both stationary and mobile MEA users. MOTOMESH Quattro enables real-time, remote monitoring of in-vehicle video, even when traveling in excess of 150 mph.

MEA Users Can Form Instant Tactical Data Networks

MEA’s Multi-Hopping capabilities allow client devices to form instant, ad hoc broadband networks where no predeployed infrastructure exists. Each MEA radio acts as a router/repeater for all other MEA devices in the network. MEA users can “hop” through neighboring devices to communicate with each other – or to reach distant network access points that can connect them to other data and voice networks.

Patented position location technology is built into every MEA device. Using this technology, users know where they are and can instantly find out where any other user is, without having to rely on GPS satellites. This means that location can be determined in places that GPS satellite signals cannot penetrate, like urban canyons, inside buildings, tunnels, or other obstructions.
