Aleksandar Tsankov - Telesys LTD. IPP – BAS, Sofia, 08.11.2007 JTSAC Communication Infrastructure
- Establishing LAN connectivity between workstations and servers located in JTSAC; - Interconnecting JTSAC with computer resources of BAS; - Providing interface to other information systems, GPS and sensor data, mobile C2 posts and Internet; - Monitoring, storing and visualisation the state of network equipment, communication channels and network utilisation for Post-Mission analyses; - Ability for local and remote videomonitoring and archiving of videodata; - Providing computer and communication services for users, working on mobile C2 posts. Communication infrastructure - requirements
- 19'' communication rack - 2 pcs; - Communication router – 1 pcs; - Ethernet switch 10/100 Mb/s, 3Com SuperStack - 24 ports – 1 pcs; - Ethernet switch 10/100 Mb/s, D-Link - 24 ports – 2 pcs; - Videocammeras for control and monitoring – 4 pcs; - Digital Video Recorder – 1 pcs; - UPS for communication rack – 1 pcs; Stationary communication equipment in JTSAC
- Subsystem for static and dynamic routing (Zebra/Qagga); - Subsystem for management of network traffic (QoS); - Subsystem for monitoring, visualizing, alerting and storing the state of communication infrastructure (Nagios); - Subsystem for accounting, visualizing and storing the network traffic (iptables+scripts+Cacti); - Databases for storing the information for that services (MySQL); Communication router - subsystems
This is the main communications module in the set. It provides monitoring and management of the whole deployed communications infrastructure. This module provides also all necessary interfaces to the other C2 networks and systems such as phone and LAN interfaces. The other goal of the module is establishing the backbone connectivity via channels of national network operators, local ISPs or connection via sattelite terminal. Backbone Connectivity Wireless Module
This module is a power horse of the C2 post. It provides for the end users dedicated workplace with PC and standard set of interfaces: phone services; - video- and teleconferencing capabilities; - mobile wireless connectivity; - access to information resources via Web interface; - print and fax services; - e-mail services. Universal Communication Wireless Module
The module provides the base communication media for data exchange between all modules on the field. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 high-speed wireless standard and provides 11 Mbps (up to 54 Mbps) connectivity. Using such a COTS standard it is also possible to provide connectivity in the serviced area for laptops and PDAs equipped with wireless adapters. Access Point Wireless Module
The module provides video surveillance capabilities and allows remotely to monitor different zones of interest. It is equipped with Hi-resolution network cameras with different capabilities which ensures day/night videomonitoring, monitoring of moving objects etc. Using network capabilities of the cameras it is possible to send real time video surveillance information across the all system and via Internet to the stationary centers too. Video Wireless Module
The main criteria, beared in mind in process of building the JTSAC's communication infrastructure: using COTS products, standardized and open communication protocols, open source software packages and theoretical modelling and simulation gives us a reason to believe that this approach is well suited and created communication infrastructure could successfully accomplish various tasks in the field of exercises, simulations and analyses.
