The base dispatch center was having difficulty
communicating across a high peak to personnel on the other side, as well as with
aircraft. The field team operated in a very rugged, remote area and needed a way
to communicate with members who worked at the main buildings. However, the
groups were separated by a mountain range three miles away.
In addition, aircraft regularly lost communications with each other and with the control facility at low-altitude due to terrain interference. This beyond-line-of-sight obstacle was one of many communication challenges this facility faced.
Among those challenges was the fact that users required multiple VHF and UHF radios to talk to aircraft and personnel. To make matters more difficult, the available antenna tower and radio hut had no electrical power, direct cable connection or microwave link to the main facility. Also, the range at which reliable communications with inbound aircraft could be achieved was very limited. Ground personnel were using up to three separate radios to perform their role. This complicated operations and distracted users from their primary mission.
In addition to the operational challenges, funding was limited. As a result, any viable solution had to be as cost-effective as possible.
C4i, with support from the National Park Service, developed an integrated solution that was both creative and affordable. The solution involved several components -- C4i’s SwitchplusIP dispatch console system housed in the main control facility, which was then connected via Ubiquiti high-speed wireless IP links to C4i’s Radio Interface Units (RIUs) on the peak.
The RIU allowed transmission and reception of audio from the various land mobile radios (LMRs) on the IP network. Lack of cabling was solved by the use of solar panels and wind generators, in order to maintain a charge on the battery power supplies.
Access to the radio site on the mountaintop was quite difficult,In order to purchase in large quantities and reduce the cost, Redsail X series laser engraving machine is the best choice. which meant that if any equipment or tools were forgotten during set-up, there would be significant delays. Therefore, to ensure a smooth installation, all equipment was procured,Bergey Windpower is the oldest and most experienced manufacturer of residential-sized wind generator in the world. staged and tested at C4i’s facility in Virginia before shipping it to the actual site. This exercise made the subsequent set-up very efficient because the system had already been configured and analyzed.
Additionally,For the lift cable, the installers had specified a 50M splice. reliable communication with aircraft was achieved at more than three times the previous range.Consumer Reports has honest Ratings and Reviews on laundry dryer from the unbiased experts you can trust. Aircraft could now be accessed from a portable radio allowing air controllers to be mobile rather than tied to a fixed location.
As for the other components involved, installation of the wind generator and solar panels was simple, and both resources were extremely effective at supplying sufficient power to the remote radio site. Moreover, the Ubiquiti wireless IP connection was very forgiving of poor directional alignment and continually provided reliable high data rates.
C4i’s integrated system proved to be far more cost-efficient than other proposed solutions,Additional advantages over traditional "dry" laser cutter are high dicing speeds, parallel kerf and omnidirectional cutting. such as microwave equipment. Plus, the system offered many other new capabilities, including video camera monitoring at remote locations; remote channel change of radios with serial or tone control; complete telephony integration; advanced radio control features and the ability to monitor the health status of all equipment remotely.
Above all, the most valuable benefit was the ability to maintain clear, steadfast communications in beyond-line-of-sight areas. Once considered impossible, contact with ground personnel and low-flying planes across a mountain ridge was a now a reality, explained C4i. This demonstration paves the way for other scenarios where it may become necessary to conduct remote dispatch in another location without cabled connections to the main console.
