1. Nextmove Overview
Nextmove designs, manufactures, and maintains a standard product line of auto acquire and track
antenna positioners used in the DoD, Federal, Emergency Management, Oil&Gas, and Electronic News
Gathering markets.

Our solutions have been deployed for Air to Ground, Ship to shore, point to point, and point to
multipoint solutions.

2. LinkAlign-Air Radwin Solution

Nextmove has developed a tower to command vehicle microwave point to point solution that will give
a city, county, or territory a rapid deploy transport layer solution with up to 100Mbps data rate with the
push of a button. This microwave link can support any type of IP traffic to include voice, data, and
video. The solution is designed to be easily upgradable and is scalable at any time to add up to 32 users
(Remote subscribers) off one central tower side location.

This system described below may be modified and scaled to fit each customers footprint of operation.
The objective of this paper is to provide the details on the basic equipment needed for a tower and
remote side deployment and concept of operation.

The LinkAlign-Air solution provides end users with a rapid deploy microwave point to multipoint
network that removes the logistics and costs associated with manual setup, alignment, and maintenance
of microwave links. The end result is communications links that are established in minutes instead of
hours and immediate Return on Investment due to cost savings of labor associated with manual
microwave alignment.

2.1. Tower Side Hardware solution

The tower side solution provides a full 360º of coverage off the tower location. This is accomplished by
installing multiple fixed sector antennas with either 90º or 120º of sector coverage. This sector
coverage allows for any remote subscriber on the vehicle side to connect at any deployed location
around the tower.

Nextmove works with multiple radio vendors and has many options to expand or scale this solution
based on the proposed region for installation.

2.1.1. Radwin Tower solution

The Radwin tower solution shown here uses qty three external 120º sector antenna with Radwin 5200
connectorized base station radio outdoor units. All three base stations connect to the Radwin Indoor
Unit Hub(IDU-H) creating one network as shown below in the block diagram. The Radwin solution is
a point to multipoint and can support up to 32 additional subscriber units to add additional
communications paths. The Radwin Tower solution part's list, equipment images, and block diagram is
provided below.

2.1.2. Radwin Remote Side Solution

The remote side of the link uses the Nextmove LinkAlign-360EER with Radwin Subscriber radio
installed to auto acquire the tower site. Nextmove has remote interfaces to every type of commercial
radio on the market. The Radwin closed loop RF radio interface is enabled to auto acquire and peak to
the tower side solution. Once a operation location within the region is reached, LinkAlign will auto
point then peak with a push of a single button.

2.1.3. Remote Side Control Software

All LinkAlign products come with an embedded controller inside the positioner that hosts a web based
user interface. The user interface is accessed over Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers.
The full featured user interface is shown below.

The software allows for manual control and fully automated PTP acquisition which shall be used for
this system. The tower site latitude and longitude along with altitude is entered into the stored locations
database shown in the center of the control window below. Once a mobile end (remote side) arrives at a
location the operator simply double clicks on the "tower site" button located in the stored location
window.

LinkAlign then uses its built in GPS and compass to figure out where it is and what its current heading
is. It then calculates the azimuth to point back to the tower site and moves to that heading. A peak
process is then performed to optimize the link. This entire process takes less than 1 minute.

The operator of this equipment will never have to worry the logistics and deal with the added cost of
manual alignment of high bandwidth point to point links. When the command vehicle is ready to leave
an incident the operator simply presses the "Home" button in the stored locations database and the
positioner returns to a user configurable stowed location for transport.
