h1. Problem positioning
The satcom lab of Télécom Bretagne will soon be equipped with a TooWay/KA SAT facilities (bi-directional internet via satellite) that come in two flavours: a fixed antenna for access within the lab and a fly away antenna for on-the field access. On-the-field access is provided through a transportable terminal (see pictures below). The transportable terminal integrates a modem, networking facilities and end-devices (e.g., DECT/VOIP phones).
The objective of this project is to design and integrate the portable terminal taking into account all aspects: communication, networking and physical integration.
h1. Introduction
The transportable terminal provides services in inhospitable and isolated locations. In particular, our aim consists in bringing internet access through wired and Wi-Fi IP network and to provide internal and external VoIP calls. The terminal is composed of two antennas (one fixe and another one mobile) and a modem to receive the signal from the Ka-Sat satellite and convert it into digital signal. One router, a Dect and some IP phones constitute the second part of the terminal to share the network between the internet access and the phone calls. In the first part of the project, we have identified the use cases and the corresponding network architecture (address and routing plan). Then we proceed with the integration of the networking and communication components in a ruggedized flight case. Later we have connected the transportable terminal to the fixe antenna to realize some tests and demonstrations of the overall system. The terminal is transportable with its mobile antenna and could be used during important and catastrophic events by the red cross for instance to keep them in touch with the head quarter.

h2. a.Study of User Cases
+Use cases 1:+ Internet Access through wired IP network
The use case 1 consists in providing internet access through wired network. The user must connect its machine to the local area network via a wired cable. For instance the user will connect its machine with an Ethernet cable to the router. The router will furnish a local IP address via DHCP. Finally the user will have access to internet and services as HTTP, SMTP, FTP, Streaming... Since the networking is sharing amongst users, there will be some restrictions on the data rate.
+Use cases 2:+ Internet Access through wireless IP network
The use case 2 consists in providing internet access through wireless network. The user must connect its machine to the local area network through Wi-Fi. The router will furnish a local IP address via DHCP to the user. Nevertheless, the user must be authorized by the administrator to be connected to the network thanks to a logging and a password. In fact the Wi-Fi can be received by anyone around the terminal that is the reason why we must restrict the connection by a password. Finally, after connection, the user will have access to internet and services as HTTP, SMTP, FTP, Streaming... Since the networking is sharing amongst users, there will be some restrictions on the data rate.
+Use case 3:+ Voice over IP
The use case 3 consists in providing a phone call over Internet. The user will dial a number on hardphones available in the flight case. The call will be establish via voice over IP. There are two possibilities, whether it is an internal call, and so the speaker we intend to reach is on the same local network. In this case there should not have too much time delay and the phone call is totally free. Whether it is an external phone call, and there will have at least 400 ms of time delay. It is corresponding to the time the wave takes to travel from the two speakers via the satellite. In this case the phone call is not free, so some restrictions as international call must be establish.

h2. c.Description of the Components
Component : Mikrotik RB2011U series
Type : Router
Role : The primary purpose of the router is to provide a local area network to connect the components. Next the router will furnish a quality of service in order to differentiate the prior packets as VOIP from packets will low priority. In addition the router will establish a firewall to secure the network.

Component : Intel NUC D54250WYK
Type : Mini PC
Role : A VOIP server will be install on the mini PC to provide external and internal phone call. The mini PC will have an internet access through the router and will be positioned in the same local network than the hardphone to proceed the phone calls.
!NUC.jpg!
Component : IP-DECT Server 400
Type : Dect
Role : The dect provide a bridge between the local area network and the hardphones. It can establish internal calls between gigatsets.
!dect400spec.jpg!
Component : PoE1500S Adaptater
Type : Power over ethernet
Role : The PoE deliver both data and electrical power to the dect.
!poe.jpg!
Component : Gigaset R630 H PRO
Type : Hardphone
Role : The gigaset provide phone call to the user. It will be connected to IP-DECT.
!gigaset.jpg!
Component : Eaton 5P650
Type : Uninterruptible Power Supplier
Role : The primary purpose of the UPS is supplied with power all the devices. It protect also the components from the varaition of the input power in filtering it. It can provide 74 minutes of batterie.
