ublic Safety Networks
Public safety networks must provide mission critical
services, be quickly expandable, and be easily managed
from end to end. Applications may be for interfacility
and inter-agency communications, or for backhaul in
land mobile radio (LMR) networks. Public safety
networks also face a variety of critical issues: interfacility
communications are becoming more complex and
require higher bandwidth; use of real-time video is
increasing, as well as data primarily IP traffic to
support departmental LANs and inter-departmental
WANs; and the trend of sharing data across jurisdictions
is accelerating the demand for more bandwidth. The
MDR-8000 Packet Plus radio addresses all of these
issues cost effectively, while providing the security
and redundancy that public safety officials require.
State and Local Government Systems
Municipalities have similar needs as those of public
safety operators. Municipal planning districts need
converged services that support mission-critical voice,
data, and video communications, along with LMR
interoperability. Government agencies can rely on
the MDR-8000 Packet Plus to provide the reliable,
high-quality communications they require. Unlicensed
versions of the MDR-8000 Packet Plus are also ideal
for emergency restoration and backup of critical
communication links.

Transportation and Utility Systems
Transportation and utility companies also require the
highest and most stringent level of availability, quality,
and resiliency. Growth, new technologies, and ever-
increasing security demands require a secure core
architecture with state-of-the-art network management
in order to reach widely dispersed rural areas, often
covering rough terrain, where no other infrastructure
exists. Support for data networking applications and
services such as SCADA, video surveillance for
monitoring remote sections of pipelines or highways,
and reliability to overcome homeland security threats
are all readily addressed by the MDR-8000 Packet Plus.
