Wireless Mesh NetworkingWireless Mesh Networking• Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh

clients, mesh routers and gateways [1]. The mesh clients are often laptops, cell phones and other wireless devices while the mesh routers forward traffic to and from the gateways which may but need not connect to the Internet. The coverage area of the radio nodes working as a single network is sometimes called a mesh cloud. Access to this mesh cloud is dependent on the radio nodes working in harmony with each other to create a radio network. A mesh network is reliable and offers redundancy.

Automated Fingerprint Automated Fingerprint SystemSystem

• The Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) is a biometric identification (ID) methodology that uses digital imaging technology to obtain, store, and analyze fingerprint data. The AFIS was originally used by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in criminal cases. Lately, it has gained favor for general identification and fraud prevention.

Gang Intelligence SystemsGang Intelligence Systems• Gangs pose a serious threat to public safety

throughout the United States. Gang membership and gang-related criminal activity has increased over the past 10 years, and gang violence is making increased demands on law enforcement resources in many communities.
