The Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) from Private Mobile Networks gives you the ability to rapidly deploy a private, secure GSM network at any location to meet operational needs. Housed within a rugged mobile carry-case, the RDU is highly portable and fully configurable.
"That TeleWare has managed to shoe-horn all this technology into a small hamper-sized suitcase in the form of the RDU, is no small feat"
From a single rugged carry-case, field operatives can communicate with each other, potentially, over a 900 metre radius of the RDU. As speed is vital under these circumstances, the RDU can be deployed and available for live communication within five minutes, at the touch of a button.
Enclosed within a military standard rugged hard-shell case are all of the components required to facilitate a private GSM network. The RDU has the means to transmit and receive calls over GSM by utilising an integrated GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS). This works in conjunction with the Private Mobile eXchange (PMX) software platform that contains the individual software components that would normally make up a macro mobile voice/SMS network – a Base Station Controller (BSC) and Mobile Switching Centre (MSC), which incorporates an SMS switching centre.
All of the software components are installed on the latest in rugged laptop technology. The rugged laptop is built to withstand the most demanding of conditions and gives the RDU operator the flexibility and control to administer the network away from the unit itself by utilising the built-in wireless capabilities of the RDU.
For portability, the unit has two internal military grade Lithium batteries, giving a life of around ten hours. However, its primary power source is 230V AC to both power the unit and also charge the batteries.
If the battery life expires, the unit will shut down, ensuring that all components follow the correct closure procedure, thus eliminating problems at re-initialisation.
The MSC component of PMX controls the access to the private mobile network and restricts this to known users to provide standard PBX features such as intelligent call routing and short code dialing.
