Military Secured Rapid Deployment System: Extending the Government Communications Network into the Mobile Environment

Table of Contents

Overview

As the complexities of technology and speed of developments continue to accelerate at an exponential rate, it has become increasingly difficult for military and government groups to develop internal solutions one at a time. The days of government innovations driving the technology of tomorrow for the consumer are over. Commercial technology developments have lapped the field several times over when compared to their government counterparts grown organically. Today it is much more commonplace for government and military applications to leverage commercial technology and overlay a custom feature set to achieve the desired solution. This provides a broader scope of solution possibilities across current state of the art technologies.

Communications, and specifically wireless, is a key element of technology where the commercial off the shelf innovations can be applied directly to the custom applications of the government and military. The economies of scale presented by technologies that have shipped to the billions of subscribers obviously has its advantages. The global compatibility of a technology like GSM provide a foundation to work from that is capable and familiar to users. While good in the sense of providing a mature technology that has been vetted and proven, basic GSM service does not implement the features and security elements required to adapt to the custom deployment situations presented by military and government applications.

To address this market and bridge the compatibility and worldwide presence of GSM with the unique feature set of G&M deployments, Tecore offers the Military Secured Rapid Deployment System (MilSec- RDS). MilSec-RDS is a custom built solution for G&M that implements the features and interfaces required to extend existing communications infrastructure over GSM technology. The system is scalable and supports both standalone as well as integrated operations making it ideal for everything from embassies to the battlefield.

Intelligent Network Access: Precision Control of Communications in Secured Areas

Overview

The goal of a wireless system is coverage – anywhere, anytime, any place. The key to successful operations of the largest networks in the world has been the ever-expanding coverage area and ubiquitous service that it provides. With the goal of covering more areas and more potential users, little attention is paid to restricting access. However, as wireless communications has evolved, the necessity of providing restriction in certain areas or situations has increased. Whether for security, courtesy, or commercial reasons, the situations are numerous and the solutions in the market are few.

Rapidly Deployable Multi-Technology Mobile Networks

Introduction

In the United States today, the majority of the population have or have access to a wireless phone. Whether on a nationwide carrier or a local service provider, by large the majority of the country has their choice of several operators. This has resulted in the implementation of several technologies. The resulting nationwide ubiquitous coverage has changed the-day to-day life of most Americans.

The two dominant technologies in the United States today have a relative split of the wireless subscriber base Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM). Among the major service providers in the U.S.A., AT&T and T-Moblie use GSM, and Verizon Wireless and Sprint use CDMA. Both technologies therefore have a nationwide footprint and significant market penetration. Combined with the emergence of municipal Wi- Fi networks and hot spots, the resulting multi-technology environment in a given area must be considered when analyzing potential scenarios or situations. Add to this the additional deployment of the third generation wireless technology and the multi-technology equation gets more complex. This presents a significant challenge for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Multiple technology support is not a luxury for DHS, it is a necessity.

When DHS is called to action, the speed of deployment, the reliability of the solution, and the flexibility to adjust to the situation are key factors in addressing the needs of both targeted personnel and the general population on the ground. In a wireless environment, a Rapid Deployment System that can adjust to the proper technology or technologies from the same platform, is deployable in a rapid fashion, and is built for mobility are the key components for addressing the requirements of these critical situations.

Rural Mobile Network Architecture: Leveraging the Power of IP for Local Autonomy With Central Control

Table of Contents

Overview

As wireless networks continue to dominate the telecom build out around the world, the scenarios and situational challenges posed by topography, interconnectivity, and baseline infrastructure available continue to drive operators to innovative methods and architectures for crafting their service. While there are many technology options, the key component to any approach implemented today is the support of commercially available user devices. When the network infrastructure supports the commoditized technology at the user level, unique approaches can be taken in the infrastructure build-out to optimize the network.

The challenge facing many operators today is how to provide service to rural and remote areas in an economic fashion while maintaining the same services as their main network. For these scenarios, Tecore offers the Rural Village System (RVS). The RVS turns remote build-outs that are traditional loss leaders to revenue potential. The RVS is a flexible network solution for distributed deployments in multiple wireless technologies. Targeted at scenarios for hundreds to several thousand subscribers, the RVS provides a compliant solution that extends the network to previously unreachable (technically or economically) locations.
