Chapter 11:
Bringing Up a Mobility Sector
Scope of this Chapter
Mobility solutions offers powerful, easy to deploy base stations that guarantee high capacity
connectivity to ruggedized mobile units mounted on vehicles, trains and ships.
RADWIN 5000 Mobility enables:
•
Perimeter security ‐ two way video transmission between patrol vehicles
•
On‐board video surveillance and Internet access for public transportation
•
Oil rig to ship ‐ video and data connectivity
•
Unmanned vehicle operation – remote control of heavy machinery for mines and ports
RADWIN 5000 is designed to ensure that HMUs attain continuous service within a sector and
seamless service when crossing into a new sector.
Mobility applications are typically large scale projects. A railway application for example,
requires a chain of overlapped sectors along hundreds or thousands of kilometers of railway
track.
The detailed use of RADWIN 5000 elements in a Mobility application is beyond the scope of
this manual. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate the use of RADWIN Manager in
bringing up and managing a physically installed Mobility sector. In practice, one sector would
be built by hand (as we will do below). The complete sector configuration can be saved and
uploaded to further sectors.
For Mobility project management questions, please consult RADWIN Customer Service.
Concepts
Each HMU is allocated to one of four HBS levels labelled A, B, C and D. The operating
parameters for each level (such as VLAN, MIR, QoS, time slots, fixed rate, Spatial
Multiplexing/Diversity antenna mode) can be different for each level allowing for broad
prioritization of service between different types of mobile units. This requires that each HMU
be assigned a level to join a sector. The actual joining process is quite dynamic since the HSU
will typically move from sector to sector at high speed.
