Features

MCMC PRIME communication system components.

• The MCMC PRIME vehicle is equipped with satellite antennas, drones, mobile radios, 4G and 5G cellular antennas (boosters), as well as motorized HF, UHF, and VHF radio antennas that can be activated upon arrival at the scene.
• The interior of this vehicle has been modified to allow gateways, modems, and routers to be centrally operated by the operator. It is also equipped with three (3) units of high-capacity batteries that allow continuous operation for 8 to 10 hours without an external power supply.

Bandwidth bonding capabilities from satellite and cellular for high-speed Internet access.

• Bandwidth bonding technology enables integration between satellite connections and cellular networks from major service providers in Malaysia. Before the merger, Internet connections that relied on a single source such as satellites or cellular networks alone had limited speed and stability.
• Through bandwidth bonding technology, all available connections are combined to produce higher Internet speeds, better performance, and a more stable usage experience in the field. The system is also equipped with the ability to automatically switch to the most stable network in the event of an outage, and this ensures continuous Internet connectivity. This capability is critical to support operational continuity, especially in emergency situations or in remote areas.
• To enable teams in the field to share the Internet access resulting from bandwidth bonding technology, the system is supported by two Wi-Fi access points units combined to be omnidirectional, with support for three frequency bands (tri-band) and coverage of up to 150 meters of radius around MCMC PRIME.
• Amplify cellular network signals received in weak coverage areas using cellular booster technology.

Extend Wi-Fi coverage by using drones and network Wi-Fi technology (Wi-Fi mesh).

• MCMC PRIME is also enhanced with high-capacity drone technology that allows Wi-Fi network coverage to be extended at locations up to 5 kilometres from the main vehicle to the area around the manpack unit in the field.
• When the drone is flown in, it serves as a wireless Wi-Fi mesh network node between the MCMC PRIME vehicle and the manpack unit, allowing Internet connectivity to be maintained even in areas with challenging terrain.
• This manpack unit has a coverage radius of around 50 meters. Through this technology, voice communication, data transmission and video streaming can be implemented more smoothly and effectively, further strengthening operational capabilities in the field in various situations.
• The use of multi-band mobile radio communications (High Frequency (HF), Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra High Frequency (UHF)) uses amateur radio platforms, private radios and trunk radios in locations where there is no coverage at all or when terrestrial networks are affected.
• Powered by a high-capacity battery and main power supply.
