Firetide demonstrates MIMO-based wireless IP video surveillance at IACP 2009

Company shows tie-ins with cameras, video management solutions


Firetide Inc., the leading developer of wireless infrastructure mesh networks, today announced that it will demonstrate its new MIMO (multiple input multiple output) 802.11n mesh technology as part of a wireless IP video surveillance demo during the IACP Conference. Already in deployment at the Miami Police Department, the Firetide MIMO mesh delivers cost-effective, flexible wireless networks and offers fiber-equivalent performance for real-time, courtroom-quality video.

The conference demo combines MIMO wireless infrastructure mesh from Firetide with high-definition network camera technology from Axis Communications and open-platform video management from Milestone Systems. Deployed in a matter of hours, the system is a real-world example of what public safety agencies can achieve in the field with the right combination of IP technologies, delivering evidence-grade video for officer safety, identification and investigation.

THE DEMO: The live demonstration will feature wireless capture, distribution and playback of high-resolution video over a wireless mesh network. Real-time video from Axis high-definition and megapixel cameras will be streamed over Firetide wireless infrastructure mesh network. The video will be captured and displayed using the open-platform Milestone video management system, including remote viewing via Wi-Fi enabled PDAs.

LOCATION: The demonstration will take place at IACP 2009 in Denver from October 4 through October 6 on the Firetide booth 2912.
