Addressing the Need for Secure, Robust, Collaborative, Cost-

effective, Ad-hoc Communications Across Agencies.

Key capabilities

A. The network is controlled locally and immediately

B. The ad hoc network can be formed in a few minutes just by sending out an e-mail

or executable to the potential users, and discontinued the same way.

C. The devices can talk directly to each other without a tower, as long as they can

get coverage from Wi-Fi or other hot spot, or tactical network.

D. The software encrypts the devices and apps with FIPS-140-2 certification.

E. The Class of Service is locally control who gets the preemption and bandwidth.

F. The devices are persistent, if coverage is lost, the devices continue function, and will

re-connect when a network is available.

G. Voice is transmitted immediately, will wait its turn, and is recorded to verify.

H. Situational awareness is available to each device according to its ability

This sophisticated multi-device Connected Application distributes its own code

and to run across a wide range of devices to synchronize, mash up and display

their shared messages, GPS locations, maps and media. It adapts to the configu-

ration and capabilities of a wide range of commercial mobile phones, video cam-

eras, computers and sensors, and runs them in a predictable fashion, regardless

of screen size, operating system, communications protocols or bandwidth con-

straints.

In addition, it links devices into the Operation networks using a variety of alter-

native communications paths, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, commercial cellular

carrier data networks or satellite data. Alert and Respond extends coverage by

working in public radio system dead spots and automatically finding new paths

through any number of devices and protocols automatically whenever communi-

cation failures occur.

The use of commercially available devices, carrier networks and mobile satellite

communications systems reduces cost and deployment time, while supplement-

ing existing public safety radio systems with rich collaborative capabilities and

extending coverage areas and extending reach to individual consumer’s existing

mobile phones. Civilians and local leaders can be brought into the network even

if they have nothing but standard commercial mobile phones. Smartphones, such

as iPhones. Watch the video at: www.covialabs.com

Deviser E8600B Spectrum Analyzer Designed specifically for wireless communications field engineers and technicians, the E8600B Spectrum Ana-

lyzer provides all necessary measurement functions and performance to accurately characterize the signal en-

vironment in addition to clearing, detecting, identifying and locating signal interference in a lightweight,

handheld instrument.

Key Benefits

Handheld rugged design able to withstand harsh environments and lighting conditions. Intuitive menu struc-

ture enables ease of use and quick measurements. Quickly identifies, locates and maps signal interference.

Performs comprehensive signal analysis for complete site profile and monitoring the signal environment.

Occupied bandwidth, Channel Power and ACPR. Dual spectrum and spectrogram measurements. Verify RF

transmissions in FM and AM.

TSG Introduces G-WAVE Solutions

Page 3 www.thesalesgroup.com May 2015

G-Wave designs and manufactures wireless indoor/outdoor signal enhancement systems such as:

Bi-Directional Amplifiers, Fiber DAS, Tower Mounted Amplifiers, and Fiber Optic solutions; servicing

the Public Safety, Government, Military, and Commercial/Private markets. Utilizing hands-on expe-

rience and knowledge, G-Wave's design team has the ability to efficiently identify the product solu-

tion to satisfy the scope of installation requirements. Solutions are customized to fit even the most

scrutinizing of requirements within a short concept to production time frame.

Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDAs) / Repeaters

Bi-directional Amplifiers (BDA) extends the coverage of both the uplink and downlink signal within buildings and other RF shielded environments, where signal is weak or non-existent, but usable signal is available out-side the structure. By bridging the signal using the BDA, cables and antennas, it is possible to take the usable

outdoor signal, and retransmit it inside. Available in indoor and outdoor NEMA-4 enclosures, G-Wave BDAs have been used in all types of buildings, including hospitals, hotels, high-rise buildings and shopping malls, as well as tunnels, remote villages and highways that are not covered by the base station.

G-Wave Launches LightLink Fiber DAS

G-Wave Solutions launches a new family of fiber optic based Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) products. The LightLink family of products enhances communication coverage in buildings and integrates system balance in RF shielded environments by allowing RF control for distinct operators in multi-operator deployments.

By providing advanced RF design solutions, the Lightlink system is able support VHF, UHF, 700/800/900 MHz Public Safety applications as well as LTE, Cellular850, PCS and AWS communication services.

The LightLink fiber optic distributed antenna system uses single-mode optical fiber cable to distribute RF sig-

nals between a central RF hub and remote antenna units (RAU™) The wireless distributed system is comprised of a master distribution unit (MDU) that interfaces with RAU™'s placed throughout a building. RAU™'s are available in various power configurations to provide scalability in design, thereby improving performance and enhancing cost-effectiveness.

This flexibility allows an engineer to scale a system design to the precise requirements without over-engineering individual RAU™s. Unobtrusive, lightweight antennas are strategically placed to optimize the profound RF coverage area already provided by LightLink.Bi-directional Amplifiers (BDA) extends the coverage
