• Source of GPS for the Axon View XL. If the MDT modem is the preferred source, then
the MDT must have the capability to forward GPS information to Axon View XL. Note
that any software required to forward the MDT’s GPS information is not provided by
Axon.
• Agency preferred offload method, as agreed in the Statement of Work.
o LTE Only - Where in-car MDT has access to Axon Evidence.com via a cellular
data service either through the router or the MDT. The video transfer is
direct to Axon Evidence.com.
Axon recommends that the 2FF SIM card should be placed in the Router
instead of the MDT.
This is a good video offload method for agencies with a strong, speedy
cellular connection and an unlimited cellular data plan without throttling
terms/conditions.
o Wireless Offload Server - The in-car router is configured similarly to the LTE
+ WiFi method, but all Wireless Access Points reside on the same network as
a server running Axon software.
Videos are only transferred from the vehicle to the server when a proper
connection is made, such as when the vehicles pull into the station or other
designed offload site where a server is present.
The server is then responsible for completing the upload to Axon
Evidence.com.
This is a good offload method for agencies who want to offload video as
quickly as possible in range of an access point, have a limited cellular data
plan or prefer not to offload non-prioritized video via cellular data.
• SSID naming convention. Axon recommends using VehicleNumber_5G (for example:
535_5G)
