The US Coast Guard (USCG) now uses the Motorola PTP 400 Series to provide connections for Project Hawkeye in the port of Miami, one of the country’s busiest seaports.
Project Hawkeye sensors and long-range cameras with infrared capabilities act as eyes on the coast to prevent threats by sea in support of the US Department of Homeland Security. The USCG deployed the Motorola point-to-point wireless Ethernet 400 series bridges over 23 miles of the south Florida coastline to interconnect Hawkeye’s entire network of sensors, cameras, radar and vessel identification equipment to the USCG central command center, as well as to other ancillary port watch locations.
General Dynamics is the Motorola point-to-point reseller responsible for the installation and maintenance of the USCG Project Hawkeye deployment.
The Motorola-enabled wireless network provides real-time data access for the USCG, including links over water, helping to maintain security for the Miami port. There are now plans to implement wireless networks at five other Project Hawkeye locations throughout the US.
