Last week I took a little time comparing a wireless broadband mesh network to another municipal infrastructure, city road systems. The comparison was fun and somewhat of an eye-opener. Now we can further compare our city road systems and the city vehicles we drive on them with wireless broadband and the applications that can be used on the system. This exercise allows us to begin to see many common uses of software applications.
When we purchase a vehicle for city use, we evaluate our particular needs, then we set about to find vehicles that meet the majority of those needs at the best overall price. Different vehicles many times are needed for different field applications. However, many times our needs span our organizational structure. For instance, a police package sedan may meet the needs of the fire department. Pickup trucks can be used throughout the organization to meet similar needs, and, by the way, no one wants to face the Mayor to give him the keys to his brand new dump truck.
The chart below shows that many software packages have the potential for "multiuse" applications throughout a municipal infrastructure. Many/most departments can share applications and their resulting benefits:
A brief review of this chart reveals that one wireless broadband system has the potential to meet the needs of an entire organization. With proper attention to segmentation and security requirements we can all make use of the same infrastructure in the same manor we share our roads and more recently our current computer networks.
I will move forward in the coming weeks to take a closer look at many of the exciting applications available for wireless broadband mesh network use. I am open to any discussion or questions you may have regarding them.
