City of Santa Ana Exhibit C -1, System Description 1.9.4 MOTOMesh Solution components 1.9.4.1 Mobile internet switching controller (MISC) The Mobile Internet Switching Controller (MISC) handles subscriber provisioning, management and authentication. It performs configuration and fault management, network monitoring and reporting. The MISC provides routing functions between the wired and wireless networks. The MiSC hardware is composed of off -the -shelf hardware components such as LAN routers, Ethernet switch and application servers. MiSC software consists of both of -the -shelf and Motorola's proprietary management software, MeshManager. Two routers are provided and designated as the Core and the Edge router. The Core router utilizes the two Ethernet interfaces to connect the wireless and wired (server) subnets together. The Edge router connects the wired subnet with external networks for internetwork connectivity. A 24 port Ethernet switch is provided with the MiSC to connect both subnets and is configured to provide two different VLANs. 1.9.4.2 INTELLIGENT ACCESS POINT The Intelligent Access Point (IAP) is a powerful device that acts as the transition point from the wireless network to the wired world, Each IAP provides local network management of wireless routers and client devices. One IAP will be located at each of the 12 Fire Stations. 1.9.4.3 WIRELESS MODEM CARD The WMC6300 Wireless Modem Card (WMC) offers client device connectivity to the wireless network in a PCMCIA form factor. WMCs act as wireless routers for other client devices in the network. In addition to providing access to a deployed MEA network, WMCs can instantly form ad hoc, peer -to -peer, broadband networks without relying on pre - deployed network infrastructure. 38 WMCs are included within this contract, one for the computer in each piece of identified fire equipment. 1.9.5 SYSTEM EXPANSION Motorola is providing a solution which allows the City to expand the coverage area of the system on an incremental basis as the need arises and finances become available. The self - forming, and dynamic channel switching characteristics of the MEA system make it highly scaleable. It can be expanded to meet the City's requirements for additional users, throughput, or coverage by deploying additional Intelligent Access Point, Wireless Routers, and backhaul links. The same backend infrastructure, the MiSC, at the Fire Department can support the Exhibit C -1, System Description C1 - 11 0512105 CN: 05 -17505 Design, engineering, and pricing information contained in this offering is considered proprietary and may not be shared with any person or agency not directly associated with the addressee without the express written consent of Motorola, Inc., or its designees.
