Unfortunately, the way this works for a city that doesn't know they need it is to approach a few folks that would be using it. For instance, discuss the possibilities with a few patrolmen. Clip some articles from magazines or websites that discuss the muni wireless opportunities. But, here is one story of how I, along with a local WISP, approached this. Since I am under an NDA with this city for another 8 months, I can't discuss the specifics of this deployment. The WISP called me after the Florida MUM to discuss how to obtain the homeland security dollars. Truth be told, I still don't know, but I DO know you can visit this site to get started: http://www.dhs.gov/xgovt/grants/ also, try: http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/index.shtm FEMA is the one that oversees or manages the DHS grants. Either way, we discussed the possibilities and here is the "short list" of benefits to the city: * Police car tracking - GPS, video and more available * Network access for the police (or other departments) from their vehicles - this allows them to do their own search of state database directly as well as the ability to file reports right from the car. * Internet access - not a "need" feature, but certainly a "cool" feature - * VoIP - By adding a one time cost in the vehicle, we can provide telephony in the car and the phone line is at the PD (or other office) - THIS CAN BE A HUGE SAVINGS * Access for PDA, which can be very useful for both Police and other departments * Ambulance service can deliver information direct to the hospital while en route to the ER - obvious benefits There are, of course, other possibilities, but this is just a few. The WISP and I put together this list and he took it to a couple of the town council members and they were interested. He, then, was sheduled to present the idea to the council as a whole and the council got one of the city employees to take care of locating and obtaining the grants. The city did all of that work. What the DHS paid for was: * 7 towers to extend the coverage of the existing network * AP gear for the towers * All the CPE (vehicle) gear - radios - cameras, including the dvr - phones (802.11 wireless voip phones) * dvr gear for the police station * Installation and engineering costs to the city * VPN Concentrator (Mikrotik Router) at the Police Station The WISP provided internet access services as well as local transport services for the network. Also, the WISP contracted to maintain the system. He didn't get paid for the maintenance, but exchanged the rights to use the APs as a secondary user, so was able to extend his network reach in the city. DHS grants do not cover the cost of the services. If I am recalling correctly, we had to "hide" the labor costs in the equipment cost as well. This should give you some ideas. The main thing is to get someone on the "inside" interested and they will do your preaching for you. -- *Butch Evans*Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering*MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Wired or Wireless Networks*

First, I will say that I have installed a system such as I will describe MANY times. I know that it works and works well. The effectiveness of this type of network depends on MANY factors, which are unique to each of the networks I have deployed. Having said that, let me describe the steps and, later, some options. First, the "freebie" part: The idea is that there is an existing 802.11(a|b|g) network deployed already in MOST populated areas in the US and Canada. Since this is the case, I began looking at ways to bring municipalities around to a point where they NEED our existing networks. There are many reasons for this, but the most important was that if they need the network, they will be more likely to try to help us protect it as well as be more willing to allow us to use space such as water towers and such. Many cities already do this, but by providing crucial services to them, they are more willing to make it affordable as well as allow for "exclusivity" on the city's property. At any rate, what I did was create a set of scripts that allowed me to put Internet access in places like Fire Trucks, Police Cars and other city owned vehicles. Each network is different, so I can't just give a "cut and paste" script...What I CAN do, however, is provide the LOGIC and description of the necessary parts. For the WAN part of the network, you will be able to use ANY access point (not just Mikrotik). Well, any aps that you can connect to with a MikroTik running as CPE. This includes a MT access point that is running in 900, 2.4, 5.x AND 4.9 (emergency services). Bear in mind that the higher frequencies are MUCH more picky about LOS and the CPE side (the vehicle) is not going to have much antenna. All we need here is the ability to connect with a MT client device and access the network. I've used DHCP, static IP addressing AND pppoe...the connection method is not important. Additionally, we will need, at least for some services, a MikroTik router at the "head" of the network. The purpose of this MikroTik is to provide a VPN server, so that we can provide the various services (police department, fire dept, ambulance, etc) with a means to contact the cars with a consistent IP address, regardless of the location that device is currently using as a connection. This allows for us to (for instance) let the dispatcher see a video stream from "car 1" without having any knowledge of where or how that car is connected to the network. Now, for the CPE that will be installed in the vehicle. There are MANY ways to do this, depending on the set of services needed in the car. In some cars, we have a CPE with just a single radio that will be the internet connection and path back to the VPN server. What we do in this router, is set up the following: 1. Using connect-list feature, we set up the APs that we are allowed to connect to. This can be all the APs on a single ISP or even multiple ISPs...it doesn't really matter. 2. We need to know how to configure the CPE for EACH access point we can connect to. For example: * SSID "sample1" needs pppoe with user/pass of "test/test" * SSID "sample2" needs DHCP * SSID "otherISP" needs static IP of x.x.x.x/24 3. We have to monitor the RX signal level on the current AP so that we can force the CPE to find a better AP when the signal is no longer usable. This is necessary, since there are two "bad" things happening. 1. The CPE is moving (either closer to or further from) the AP most of the time. 2. 802.11a/b/g does NOT disconnect automatically until the signal level is so low that it is completely unusable for our purpose. SO, we have to constantly monitor the connection to FORCE the CPE to disconnect, so that it will find the AP that is best for where we are physically located NOW. 4. We have another script (or a portion of the above script) that will detect our current AP and insure that the network parameters (DHCP/PPPoE/etc.) is correct. This is the "tricky&quo

You can, also, add the ability for the car to have it's own AP for devices such as a wireless SIP phone or PDA to connect to. Obviously, a SIP phone will drop a call if the time to switch towers is too long. It is because of this that I built a script that allowed for 2 client radios. This script does all the stuff that the above description says, but it does it in a different way. What happens is this: 1. Radio 1 connects to the best AP and is configured as our "current" connection

[Mikrotik] Alltel Cellular / Data Access Cards
Hello, Has anyone tried any of the Alltel Cellular / Data Access Cards in a Mikrotik Router? I see that they have done some testing in Latvia, but really have not seen much here in the US. Thanks, Jim Lund = Jim Lund Fox Business Systems KansasNet [EMAIL PROTECTED] 531 Ft. Riley Blvd (785)776-1452Manhattan, KS 66502 http://www.kansas.net
