Users can seamlessly extract information, contact headquarters or other field officers, as well as send large data files with pictures and other pertinent information with the same speed and data integrity that exist in a wired infrastructure. The SU-M is an extension of the BreezeACCESS product family, and fits seamlessly into the existing BreezeACCESS infrastructure. By using BreezeACCESS Access Units (AU) and Cell Extenders, the SU-M can roam between cells, creating a wireless grid Wireless grids are wireless computer networks consisting of different types of electronic devices with the ability to share their resources with any other device in the network in an ad-hoc manner. . Moreover, the SU-M can compliment existing mobile data systems currently used by many public safety organizations, but which offer less optimal data capacity and throughput. When deploying the SU-M in combination with existing systems, users enjoy a significant increase in efficiency, since the SU-M can transfer large amounts of data at multi-megabit speeds. As a result, public safety officers can remain on the streets and front lines, saving time, money, and better assisting the public. For example, police officers can obtain arrest warrant data, mug shots, and finger-print information quickly and efficiently in the field; and fire fighters can quickly retrieve electronic copies of city maps and building blueprints in transit to emergency sites. In addition, IS staff can remotely administer software updates instead of requiring each unit to be physically brought in for software maintenance.
