AirLink® XR90 for Law Enforcement

5G NETWORKS ENSURE SAFETY, SECURITY, AND TRANSPARENCY
5G Police Vehicle Networking

Meet Marta


Marta is the Chief Technology Officer for a large metropolitan police department. Her primary focus is leveraging technology to ensure officer and citizen safety, while increasing department efficiency, information transparency, and security. With 5G networks coming online across the city, she wants a solution that provides fast and reliable access to data from officers deployed in the field with the lowest latency possible.

The Challenge


Secure and Reliable Police Vehicle Communications


Marta needs to ensure that all law enforcement vehicles have reliable communications across the entire city. Vehicles need to support real-time video streaming from officer body-cams and dash-cams (like those made by Motorola and WatchGuard), and real-time voice and data exchanges supporting officer radios (LMR), laptops, cell phones and vehicle data including navigation and driver behavior. Vehicle communications must be secure and easy to update with the latest security patches.

The Solution


5G Routers and Antennas for Law Enforcement Vehicles


Dual Radio AirLink XR90’s deliver unmatched uplink and downlink speeds to ensure always-on video and data transmission. With AirLink Cognitive Wireless, vehicles automatically switch to the best network available to ensure maximum uptime and fill coverage holes. Combined with AirLink’s advanced VPN, communications between vehicles and depots are highly secure. The AirLink XR90’s rugged design ensures high reliability in extreme vehicle environments. And to maximize the use of each XR90, USAT helps law enforcement agencies by providing expert antenna selection and installation services.
5G Applications for Law Enforcement

For a dual-radio XR90, we paired three separate ruggedized IP67 rated fakra-enabled antennas to maximize internal and external WiFi, boost cellular signal strength, and utilize Bluetooth capabilities. The LTMWG944 ultra-wide band antenna from Mobile Mark is a 9-in-1 antenna that provides 4x4 MIMO cellular coverage, 4x4 MIMO WiFi (for outside of the vehicle), and GPS Glonass connectivity. The LTMW944, is an 8-in-1 antenna that provides 4x4 MIMO 5G LTE and 4x4 MIMO WiFi (for inside of the vehicle). Lastly, the MRM3 provides Bluetooth connectivity for specific applications.

The Results


Improved Communications, Security, and Reliability


With the AirLink XR90 and AirLink Management Service (ALMS) Marta knows that each router installed within all her law enforcement vehicles is working properly and has the latest security updates. Using ALMS Advanced Mobility Reporting (AMR), the department is improving vehicle routing and is documenting vehicle positioning. All officers can better communicate using their LMRs and simplify depot video downloads using the XR90’s Wi-Fi radios.
