SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Information Gathering and Operational Objectives
2.4.1.1.1 Mobile Application Software Functionality
Questions addressing mobile application software functionality include:
• For the mobile computer, how much of the processor capacity is required
for the application(s) that uses the network?
• What percentage of the mobile computer CPU resources does each of the
applications use?
• What is the message profile for each mobile computer for sending and
receiving messages via the Private DataTAC network?
• What mobile computer applications need to run to communicate with
applications running on servers or host computers?
• Which mobile computer application does not use the network or system?
2.4.1.1.2 Host or Server Software Functionality
Questions addressing host or server computer application software
functionality include:
• What server or host applications use the land-based network, but not the
Private DataTAC network?
• How much of the host CPU capacity is required to support mobile
computers?
• Which applications run on the customer’s host or server that will be used
by the mobiles via the Private DataTAC network?
• How much of the host CPU capacity is being used?
• Which local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) protocol is
used?
• Who manages the developing of a custom application to use with the
Private DataTAC network, if required?
2.4.1.2 Two-Way Radio Coverage
Two-way radio coverage issues need to be defined up front. Coverage has a
major effect on network performance and the equipment required.
