SECAUCUS, N.J. — Panasonic Solutions Company, provider of collaboration, information-sharing and decision-support solutions for government and commercial enterprises, is working with partner Activu Corporation, an information technology and services company delivering true end-to-end network solutions for mission-critical command and control environments, to deliver state-of-the-art command centers for public safety agencies. These command centers merge the most reliable hardware and intuitive software to enable public safety officials to focus on protecting their communities.
Agencies deploying a Panasonic and Activu command center can instantaneously share practically any information (video, text, images and applications) between multiple locations using Activu software running on rugged Panasonic Toughbook computers and displayed on Panasonic professional plasmas and LCDs. This technology offers a rich, interactive user experience that allows for more timely and informed decision making. Panasonic combines the most rugged mobile computer on the market with durable and innovative displays to create an ideal solution for public safety officials.
“Collaborating with Activu on a full command center solution gives our customers a valuable resource for gathering and responding to critical information,” said Dave Poulin, Panasonic Solutions Company Senior Business Development Manager-Government. “By utilizing this solution, agencies can better manage their resources while tackling critical situations.”
Activu software is integrated into a Multi-Level System (MLS) network in order to produce a protected and regulated environment in multiple sites and locations for its users. Its IP-based approach allows the technology to be integrated into agencies’ existing networks, allowing officials to pull critical data from network sources and share them within and outside of the command center.
The solution also provides a cost-effective means to add new first responder operators, displays, locations and information sources. This provides organizations with the means to develop and change demands, while avoiding unnecessary expenses and constraints.
“This joint solution offers adaptable command center resources that can be tailored to address any agency’s specific needs,” said Paul Noble, CEO of Activu. “Law enforcement officials can now focus on analyzing data and addressing issues rather than getting bogged down by disruptions caused by inefficient and unreliable equipment.”
Panasonic will feature a demonstration command center in booth #3007 at IACP 2010, located at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center from October 24-26th, using Toughbook 52 and Toughbook 31 computers, as well as Panasonic TH-103PF12U Professional 103-inch plasma and Panasonic TH-32LRU20 32-inch LCD displays.
