2. Recommended Technical Solutions

Based on the customer’s scenario and application, two main wireless solutions are appropriate.

Option A — MANET / Mesh Radio System (Recommended for mobility)

• Self-forming and self-healing mesh
• Ideal for multi-node, mobile environments
• Each vehicle acts as a relay node
• Effective over large outdoor areas
• Strong support for multiple 1080p IP streams
• Operates within 170–860 MHz for long-range coverage
• Supports high-power PA (10–20 Вт)
• Low latency: 25–35 ms

Option B — COFDM Broadcast System (Recommended for one-way broadcast)

• Best for one transmitter → multiple receivers
• Stable long-distance LOS transmission
• Supports Ethernet IP video
• Сумісний з 20 W PA for extended range
• Lower cost compared to MANET
• Suitable when only downlink video is required
• Not ideal if vehicles must also send data back

3. Additional Information Needed from Customer

To create an accurate system design and quotation, the following technical details are required:

1. Do vehicles also need to transmit video/data back, or only receive?
2. Total number of nodes: fixed cameras, транспортних засобів, command center.
3. Required encryption (AES-128 or AES-256).
4. Expected video bitrate per camera.
5. Mounting height of fixed camera antennas and vehicle antennas.
6. Preferred antenna type: omni or sector.

4. Response Template to Customer

Below is the polished reply recommended for communication:

“Thank you for sharing the detailed requirements. Based on your project needs—multiple static IP cameras transmitting over a 25 × 15 km outdoor LOS area to multiple moving vehicles—we propose either a MANET mesh solution for fully bi-directional mobile networks, or a COFDM broadcast solution for long-range one-way video. To finalize the system design, could you please confirm the number of nodes, return link requirements, encryption level, expected bitrate, and antenna installation height? We will then prepare a full network design, equipment list, ціноутворення, and lead time.”
