Integrating Motorola's Mobility Enabled Access (MEA) technology directly into Sony's "IPELA" camera has created a solution that is smaller and more cost effective than conventional wireless video systems. Utilizing either licensed 4.9GHz or unlicensed 2.4GHz frequencies, the mesh camera system can be part of a larger MOTOMESH Quattro network, or act as a stand alone video solution. Users can wirelessly access high quality video feeds – even while traveling at highway speeds.

Self-Forming Wireless Video Network
Motorola’s intelligent MEA technology turns mesh camera nodes and clients into router/repeaters that form a seamless, wireless network automatically. This network can be deployed independently, or as part of a wider mesh network using additional mesh devices. Video and other broadband data can "hop" through every device in the network – even to and from vehicles traveling at highway speeds. Due to this Multi-Hopping feature, the video network actually becomes more robust as additional cameras and other MEA devices are added.

Support for 4.9GHz and 2.4GHz Operation
A mesh camera network can be configured to utilize either licensed 4.9GHz or unlicensed 2.4GHz frequencies. Motorola offers a Wireless Modem Card for each of these frequencies that is inserted directly into Sony's "IPELA" camera to create a mesh camera node. The camera comes preloaded with drivers for both the 2.4GHz and 4.9GHz MOTOMESH Quattro modem cards, and will automatically join the network when turned on.

Cost-Effective, Scalable and Easy to Deploy
Within each node, the routing and access functions are managed by an internal Wireless Modem Card, eliminating the need for externally connected network devices. This can significantly reduce costs compared to conventional wireless video systems. Mesh camera nodes provide a fast, easy way to add high quality video applications to existing Motorola mesh networks.

Quick Deployment of Event Video Surveillance
The integrated design and instant scalability of the mesh camera wireless video system also provides an ideal solution for quick, temporary deployments at events that require video surveillance. Since the mesh network self-forms when the cameras are powered up, video monitoring can be instantly deployed to improve situational awareness and incident response. MEA technology offers the ability to quickly scale up the video network by simply adding mesh enabled cameras, clients or other mesh devices to expand coverage.

Fast & Accurate Position Location
A mesh camera network also offers position location capabilities without relying on costly Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Mobile users and video cameras can be located and tracked in real-time. Depending on network configuration, location determination can be quicker and more accurate than consumer GPS, and is available in places GPS is limited, such as parking garages and urban canyons. Location data is provided in a standard GPS format, allowing applications that operate with GPS data to interact seamlessly with the mesh camera network.
