Project
Implemetation
Depending
on the technical capabilities of the organization FMS sends a project
manager and 1-2 network engineers on-site to implement the initial network.
All network equipment is pre-configured beforehand to facilitate deployment.
The implementation process starts with configuring the Hub uplink and
server, then to connecting real-time nodes directly or through repeaters,
then to installing Mobile Access Points and store-and-forward nodes, and
finally to network testing, troubleshooting and training. This process
typically take 2-3 days for the Hub, 1-2 days for each real-time node,
and .5-1 day for each store-and-forward node. The FMS team typically implements
the Hub and a first phase of nodes, and then the remaining nodes are deployed
by a local team that is trained during the process.
