Emergency Responders require fast, reliable and secure data communications networks. Edison Automation can provide an array of solutions for fixed infrastructure (fire house to city wide area networks, inter-office connectivity and Voice over IP) with data rates up to 100 mbps and mobile networks for field command posts, fire appliances and law enforcement vehicle tracking and dispatch.

Edison Automation offers solutions with robust industrial specification infrastructure, from a simple point to point link or a single vehicle data link to city or country-wide systems. We offer support tailored to the specific needs of fire, law enforcement or public utilities. Characteristics of systems we can provide include:

• FIPS compliant data security standards,
• AES-128 encryption,
• VPN links,
• Remote network management and the ability to remove a rogue unit from a network remotely, and
• Real time speeds from 256 Kbps up to 8.6 Mbps and area coverage up to 10 miles from the nearest tower*

In today's data-centric environment integration into existing Ethernet networks and support for complex applications are possible. Applications such as:

• Vehicle tracking,
• Data dispatch (MSDS sheets, offender profiles, etc.)
• Video conferencing from the field and emergency incident command system, and
• Interdepartmental communications

* coverage is determined by evaluating terrain, vegetation and urban development. System analysis services are required with any mobile data system.
