- Overview
Agile 4G critical comms solution for high mobility users § Front-line Emergency Service, Security and Military personnel Small footprint, integrated with small cell 4G eNodeB § Ideal for vehicles, drones, backpacks Targeted at Tactical/Public Safety sector § 4G universally chosen as next-gen radio access technology § Technology can satisfy sectors uncompromising needs
Highly Customizable to meet your needs
For Official Use Only
- End User Requirements
Unified and dependable access to comms and services in rapidly changing contexts across multiple agencies in a dynamic network topology
§ Unified communications across multiple parties, groups, platforms.
§ Out of coverage – ‘Bring your own network’ (BYON) § Search and Rescue – Positioning/detection of victims & search
teams § Pop-up ‘bubbles’ of sterile 4G coverage on demand. § Access to localized services, e.g. for command & control
For Official Use Only
- 4G Core - Enhanced Features
§ Automatic node/vehicle meshing (over 4G or wifi)
§ Active user data sessions maintained whilst topology changes
§ Flat architecture, for resilience
§ Traffic relaying
§ Relaying of secure user traffic across high-mobility nodes
§ Broadcast & multicast, and subnet bridging
§ Standalone use or with MNO integration
§ Localized QoS managed VoLTE voice calls
For Official Use Only
- Multicast
§ IP Multicast Proxy Join § Each multicast group a UE joins, PGW joins on its behalf & distributes copies
of packets to UEs as unicast packets § In-built multicast routing, inc UE to UE § Used in standalone & ‘out-roaming’ scenarios (own PGW, macro MME)
§ Roadmap: Migration to eMBMS
PGW MME
eNodeB

Unicast packet
For Official Use Only
– IP Mobility
§ Allows user to transparently move between standalone EPCs § Automatic inter-MME and inter-SGW/PGW handover, whilst UE active.
§ UE IP data session maintained with same apparent IP address § Allows end to end security (IPSec) to be maintained through handover
§ Example: Drone with camera downlinking to arbitrary vehicles
PGW MME
After handover

§ Standalone nodes/vehicles create adhoc mesh network § Auto network configuration based on node proximity detection
§ Flat architecture – auto synced HSS in each node § Each node has own EPC, eNodeB and integrated UE
§ Resources & backhaul shared amongst mesh § Standalone operation if node/vehicle is isolated
- Meshing
