4.9 GHz Wireless Broadband Interface
Card
Public Safety Band Transceiver Family
The FCC in the United States has allocated 50 MHz of licensed bandwidth in the 4.9-GHz
frequency band for wireless broadband access for the public safety agencies to support
mobile and fixed services. This licensed band enables the public safety organizations to
create highly secure wireless IP networks between a remote workforce and headquarters.
Improving communication through Broadband/IP applications empowers the remote
workforce with information and tools that traditionally were accessible only from within the
boundaries of an office building. Non-traditional public safety entities, such as utilities and
commercial entities, and the Federal Government may enter into sharing arrangements with
eligible traditional public safety entities to use the 4.9 GHz band in support of their missions
regarding homeland security and protection of life and property. Many other countries (e.g.
Japan and Australia) also have reserved this band for the exclusive use by the Public Safety
Agencies.
Target Applications
The 4.9 GHz band supports a wide variety of wireless broadband applications. The following
types of uses have primary status:
Wireless LANs for incident scene management (ad hoc mobile networks)
Mesh networks
Back-hauling for Wi-Fi hotspots
Voice over IP (VoIP)
Temporary fixed communications
Permanent fixed point-to-point/multipoint links that deliver broadband service
Permanent fixed point-to-point video surveillance
Permanent fixed point-to-point/multipoint backhaul of broadband traffic originating from 700
MHz public safety broadband networks
Doodle Labs’ family of 4.9 GHz Wireless Broadband Interface Cards allow System
Integrators to rapidly develop the wireless routers that provide integrated, wireless WAN or
LAN capabilities in the licensed band. These routers can provide public safety, homeland
security, and transportation organizations with a mobile networking platform that extends the
edge of the IP network out to mobile workforce in vehicles, trains, or airplanes. The wireless
routers create a network in motion, enabling multiple devices in and around a vehicle to be
connected to the main network as the vehicle roams between wireless WAN networks. Fully
supports standards-based Mesh and Mobile IP applications for seamless roaming across
different types of wireless networks and technologies
