More powerful information tools
By using CDMA technology, the Alcatel-Lucent solution can support a growing spectrum of advanced com- munication capabilities that create a “desktop in the field” — and enhance day-to-day, task force and mutual-aid response. These voice, video, text and data capabilities include:
•Streaming video (surveillance, remote monitoring)
•Broadcast (multicast) audio or video sent simultaneously to multiple handsets
•Digital imaging
•Automatic vehicle location
•Computer-aided dispatching
•E-mail
•Mapping/GIS (geographic information system)
•Remote database access
•Text messaging
•Telemetry/remote diagnostics
•Push-to-talk with fast call set-up
•Web access
•Voice over IP, including interop- erability with legacy and new LMR infrastructure through the use of gateways
Increased operating efficiency
Broadband EV-DO Rev A offloads legacy narrowband or wideband wireless data technologies and enhances them by delivering the following benefits:
•Decreased narrowband channel load: Time-consuming tasks, such as database lookups and dispatch messaging are off-loaded to broadband spectrum
•Enhanced day-to-day operations: Remote access to databases to streamline routine tasks and decreases paperwork
•Enhanced incident operations: Mission-critical informa- tion exchanged in real-time — anytime, anywhere — including floor plans, mug shots, incident stills, surveil- lance feeds and on-scene video
•Enhanced Task Force Operation: Simplified secure sharing of voice, video, and multimedia data among task force members.
