Overview
Broadband support to public safety is a key element in any BTOP grant application.
How will your broadband project support public safety? What public safety
functions can your project support?
There have been numerous wireless and solar powered video surveillance
solutions on the market over the last few years. The Really WirelessTM
platform changes the equation for wireless video surveillance for a variety
of reasons. This paper evaluates the systems and its practical application
as well as the opportunities for self-sufficient wireless video surveillance
via WiMAX.
Key Findings
Grant writers will find unique applications in this document. WiMAX offers
public safety agencies a number of tools such as immediately deployable
video surveillance, field reporting and monitoring/metering support for
vital utilities.
It is now possible to deploy "really wireless"
remote video surveillance solutions at remote sites (construction projects,
borders) where the power grid and telephone networks may not exist New IP video
surveillance cameras using H.264 technology provide high resolution imagery
using one-fourth the bandwidth of conventional cameras WiMAX provides an ideal
wireless backhaul solution for those cameras given is qualities for security,
quality of service (QoS), reliability, range and throughput Solar power stations
are inexpensive and easy to deploy and provide reliable power to both the
security camera and the WiMAX subscriber device Video surveillance over WiMAX
services in US markets could be a $3.6 billion market by 2014.
Target
Audience
BTOP grant applicants
Public safety agencies at the federal, state and municipal level
Public sector IT directors
WiMAX vendors: this will prove to be a very lucrative niche
market for those willing to focus on it and adjust their sales and marketing
strategy accordingly
Video encoding equipment vendors, including vendors
of IP video surveillance products
Federal, military, state and local
governments (police and fire)
Security service providers
Network
devices vendors: WiMAX deployments to service a $3.6 billion market will drive
demand for a wide range of network devices Insurance industry: How many billions
of dollars in claims can be avoided via video surveillance via WiMAX?
