Downloads

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States has allocated 50 MHz of licensed bandwidth in the 4.9-GHz frequency band for public safety applications. The Cisco® 3202 Wireless Mobile Interface Card (WMIC) for the Cisco 3200 Series Rugged Integrated Services Routers (ISR) provides integrated, wireless WAN or LAN capabilities in the licensed 4.9-GHz frequency band. Designed in the same ruggedized, compact PC/104-Plus form factor as the other Cisco 3200 Series interface cards, the 4.9-GHz WMIC provides licensed, broadband communications between first responder vehicles and outdoor wireless infrastructure supporting 4.9-GHz technology. The Cisco 3202 WMIC can also create a wireless hotspot in and around a mobile network, allowing public safety officials to roam from their vehicles while remaining connected to mission-critical applications.

As part of the Cisco 3200 Series, the Cisco 3202 WMIC offers:

• Licensed broadband wireless access for public safety agencies in the United States

• The ability to be configured as an access point, root bridge, nonroot bridge, or workgroup bridge client

• A rugged design suitable for vehicular or embedded outdoor networks

The Cisco 3200 Series Rugged ISR provides public safety, homeland security, and transportation organizations with a mobile networking platform that extends the edge of the IP network out to mobile workforces in vehicles, trains, or airplanes. The Cisco 3200 Series routers create a network in motion, enabling multiple devices in and around a vehicle to be connected to the main network as the vehicle roams between wireless WAN networks. Standards-based Mobile IP is used for seamless roaming across the different types of wireless networks and technologies.
With a Cisco 3200 Series router, public safety organizations can create a highly secure IP network in the vehicle to transmit voice, video, and data communications between a remote workforce and headquarters. Improving communications through multiple applications empowers the remote workforce with information and tools that traditionally were accessible only from within the boundaries of an office building.
