Rapid WiMAX network deployment for emergency services

In this paper, we developed an integrated system named “WiMAX Mobile Command System”. In signal coverage, upload and download rate, mobility and bandwidth efficiency, WiMAX is better than traditional wireless network. So we built a versatile system which can be rapidly deployed WiMAX network at disaster scene or other emergency events. Then, the rescuer or police could through this system execute the mission and let the commanding officer control the situations and information from this scene. It is equipped with the WiMAX Pico Base Station (B.S.) [1], Access Service Network Gateway (ASN/GW), IPBX (Private branch exchange) and both front-end device and back-end management system on a vehicle. This paper describes the whole system´s design, function and field trail demo. We believe that it would help a lot on emergency services or in public security events.
