Figure 4-4: VIDA Broadband Network
Figure 4-4 illustrates a typical deployment scenario of the VIDA Broadband 4.9 GHz broadband network.
It provides secure, public safety grade broadband services to both fixed and mobile
clients. Conceptually,
the system can be seen as extending the enterprise WAN to remote locations using the licensed 4.9 GHz
public safety band. Some common applications for this system include:
•
Remote surveillance video.
•
Mobile
broadband access to vehicles (“Hot Spots”).
•
Connection of remote precincts to the enterprise and/or VIDA network.
•
Backhaul of IP based LMR traffic.
4.1.2.1 VIDA Broadband Network Components/Features
The basic architecture of the 4.9 GHz VIDA Broadband network is a point-to-multipoint network. A
system consists of one or more base station(s) and at least one client (Figure 4-4). There are four
configurations of Client devices; the Low-Power Standard, the High-Power Standard, the Low Power
Hardened and the High Power Hardened Client. Standard client devices may be mounted in vehicles with
omni-directional antennas or outdoors with directional antennas.
