Wireless Mesh System To Be Deployed For Video Surveillance, Communications At Beijing Olympics

  • Jul 10, 2008

Strix Systems recently announced that its Access/One Outdoor Wireless Systems (OWS) and integrated high performance Personal Mobile Command (PMC) communication systems are being deployed for emergency response vehicles and tactical mobile communications for public safety at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Silicon-Star Science & Technology Development Co. Ltd and Beijing Aerospace Changfeng Co., Ltd., partnered in the design and integration of the PMC which delivers ongoing mesh continuity and instantaneous triangulation between public safety vehicles and security personnel strategically dispatched around the Olympic Stadium and downtown Beijing during the Olympic Games in August.

Strix Access/One modular technology is integrated into the PMC’s which are small, portable, hardened wearable units that establish high-speed, low-latency, pervasive mobile wireless broadband network communications between each other and emergency command vehicles.

Attached to public safety personnel via a small body-worn harness or belt, the PMC’s perform the services of a comprehensive mobile communications center with integrated wireless broadband and satellite access for live on-scene video surveillance and personal video/voice communications.

Emergency response command and public safety vehicles are deployed with Strix Access/One OWS nodes providing a mix of up to six high power 802.11 a, b, g, j and 4.9 GHz (DSRC-C) radios configured for access or backhaul as needed depending on the project.

“We needed to deliver a complete and stable mobile video/data/voice communications solution for public safety at the Olympics,” said Mr. Zhou, CTO of Beijing Aerospace Changfeng Co. Ltd. “We chose Strix because it delivered high bandwidth with excellent coverage over a continuous moving mesh network while streaming video surveillance and multimedia collaboration between personnel.”

While organizations up their security game to help thwart these attacks, a critical question remains: Can employees identify a threat when they come across one? A Confidence Gap survey reveals that 86% of employees feel confident in their ability to identify phishing attempts. But things are not as rosy as they appear; the more significant part of the report finds this confidence misplaced. Read Now
