City of Santa Ana Exhibit C -1, System Description additional equipment necessary for expansion. 1.9.6 Optional Incident Scene Applications The following two applications for incident scene management have been investigated with the City Fire Department. Due to budget constraints, these options have not been included in the core contract. They are discussed here for future reference. These applications are examples of peer to peer applications that will leverage the ad -hoc networking capabilities of the Mesh technology. 1.9.6.1 Personnel Accountability solution — Future Option In the third quarter of the 2005, Motorola will be launching an indoor /outdoor location solution based upon the same technology embodied within the Motorola MEA 2.4 and MOTOMesh Product line. The solution will be able to automatically track the location of people to sectors of a building or outdoor area. The system is comprised of portable units, reference routers, and mapping software. Reference routers can be either rapidly deployed or pre installed. The systems mapping software is specifically designed as a tool to track the location of personnel and assets on scene. Initially it will not have the full NIMS procedure support as the Motorola Fireground product does. After the third quarter release immediate work will commence on improving and integrating other aspects of the Motorola product line. First among these improvements will be the seamless integration with components of the Motorola Broadband offering. The mobile router will be able to facilitate the coordination of on scene incident data system and the wide area MOTOMesh solution or MEA solution. In the likelihood that an incident takes place beyond the coverage area of the high speed broadband system the mobile router can still remain in contact by using wide area data solutions. The portable units, MeshTrackers, wore by the incident responders will have a roadmap for improvements as well. Because the system is initially being launched as a location system appropriate for many uses, it is not specifically designed for any one particular application. The next revision of the product will be customized for vertical applications: fire, mining and corrections, law enforcement, etc. Fire operations will be the first application that will receive special customization. The existing MeshTrackers have a serial port integrated into the device for future sensor expansion. Possible uses for this port may include updates from the breathing apparatus regarding critical alerts, biometric feedback or Firefighter vital signs and chemical sensors. Although the MeshTrack system contains an alert button other methods of interaction will be added including loss of motion detection alerts and evacuation broadcasts. Another development on the roadmap for this product includes the interaction with Motorola's Fireground product. The current design of the MeshTrack system complements the existing Fireground solution. Fireground already handles all the NIMS requirements and MeshTrack adds a higher level of automatic location accuracy than is current available. By combining the strengths of both systems Motorola's offering for the fare market will incorporate a turnkey solution of unmatched utility in the fire service.
