SELEX Communications exhibits emergency communications trailer
at UK Emergency Services Show 2010
24 November 2010 – SELEX
Communications, a Finmeccanica company, is exhibiting its
operationally proven concept of scalable, secure and resilient
communications to provide users ranging from government authorities
to utilities with a cost-effective solution to the mission-critical
problems faced by first responders and other mobile users at the
Emergency Services Show, Stoneleigh Park, UK, between 24-25
November 2010.
By focusing on the elements central to
resolving the emergency communications situation, use of valuable
resources can be optimised. A modular approach allows complex
communications solutions to be built up as and when required,
giving instant reliable communications with minimal equipment.
Typically, these are embodied in a
towed mobile trailer, equipped with:
- Mobile communications, including
hand-held radios for local operations
- Satellite communications,
providing a backhaul link to a central control centre
- Pump-up mast, to ensure
communications coverage
- A self-contained power
supply
Both voice and data communications are
created around the incident and back to the central control point.
The trailer, designed for rapid deployment, can be made operational
within minutes of arriving at the scene. Additional capability can
include video-conferencing, CCTV, remote IT capability/access for
business continuity applications, Wifi hot spot and satellite
TV.
The emergency communications trailer
concept was developed in conjunction with a large UK energy
distribution company. It provides a vital communications capability
both for day-to-day operations; and during major incidents and
emergencies, when it may not be possible to rely on conventional
public communications systems and power sources.
Other capabilities on show are its
Broadband Global Area Network, Brent and Thamer crypto systems,
Extended Communications System for Digital Mobile Radio (ECOS-D) ,
airborne TETRA, video streaming and the company’s Information
Assurance capability.
