HPWREN Roles

High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network

High Performance Wireless Network - 2019


HPWREN Backbone Improvements• Upgraded backbone routers to Gigabit-ethernet capable Cisco

ASR-901 units • Upgraded Boucher Hill from a relay site to a proper backbone site,

closing the "northern loop"• Upgraded radios on 5 backbone links, thus increasing their effective

throughput while using the same RF bandwidth. From 144 mbits to 220 mbits

• Added licensed link between LP and PI• Changed backbone routing protocol from EIGRP to OSPF to support

non-Cisco backbone routers• Implemented Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) on the

HPWREN backbone• Upgraded aggregate MPO bandwidth to over 400 mbps, using MPLS

Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) and upgraded radios


High Performance Wireless Network• Upgraded Internet Edge routers to 3x Cisco ASR-1001X - from a single

Cisco 3825 • HPWREN peers with the internet at three locations now: UCSD (SDSC),

SDSU, and UCI • Added several CENIC CalRen XD high speed direct fiber paths between

UCSD, SDSU, and UCI. UCSD-SDSC = 10 Gbps, UCSD-UCI = 1 Gbps • Added second datacenter at SIO, with 5 Vmware hypervisor nodes • Added third datacenter at SDSU • Added 3 FIONA Data Transfer Nodes (DTNs) with over 100 TB each. • Virtualized 5 physical servers onto VMware, increasing server capacity

and reliability • Added InterMapper for network equipment status • Added Traffic Sentinel for network flow monitoring


• Public Safety

Roles


ASAPNet - 2019


ASAPNet

• HPWREN worked with industry and government officials to expand its Area Situational Awareness for Public Safety Network (ASAPNet) starting in 2013

• San Diego County Board of Supervisors is a strong proponent of HPWREN and ASAPNet

• 62 fire stations use ASAPNet as an ISP for remote hard-to-connect stations

• Used for training, distance learning, rip-n-run printers, admin support


Wildfire Cameras


ALERTWildfire/HPWREN PTZ Cameras

Twenty-five cameras at twenty-four sites • 2017 Santa Ynez Peak • 2017 ALERTSDGE deployed 16 cameras • 2017 Sagebrush Flat • 2018 Santiago Peak • 2018 Mt. Wilson, LACFD 69 Bravo • 2019 Santa Barbara Mesa


ALERTSDG&E


2018 Sites


HPWREN Fixed Cameras

Ninety-seven cameras at thirty sites • 10 mountaintop sites use Mobotix M15/M16 • 10 mountaintop sites need upgrades to M16 • 10 sites specialty sites such as CWC, Palomar, …

CENIC anchor


Expansion of HPWREN into Orange County• County of Orange Area

Safety Task Force (COAST)• Anchor to CENIC at UCI• Potential future UCR

CENIC anchor• Camera and Relay Sites

• Santiago • Signal Peak • Starr Ranch • Marconi • San Clemente • Rancho Mission Viejo


Opportunities• System can support other sensor networks

• earthquake early warning • weather monitoring • watershed measurements • air quality


Current Directions• Improving HPWREN resilience

• Complete San Diego County backbone upgrades • Connection to Santiago Peak • Transition to new Boucher Hill tower • Fill San Diego County coverage gaps • Extension of system in southern California in

providing complementary coverages in areas not covered by ALERTWildfire

• more collaborations with TDVNet • Eliminating single points of failure
