Motorola Highlights Public Safety Expertise at APCO With New Solutions,
Demonstrations, Speakers and Social Media Activities
Project 25 solutions demonstrate leadership in bringing interoperability,
seamless connectivity and real-time information into the hands of users
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- APCO 2009 (Booth 824) --
Motorola, Inc. will be launching and demonstrating several Project 25 (P25)
solutions, addressing key industry needs and engaging media and public safety
experts through social media activities at the Association of Public-Safety
Communications Officials-International, Inc. (APCO) 75th Annual Conference and
Exposition through August 20.
Motorola innovation and leadership in P25 interoperable solutions will be on
display at APCO with the launch of the SmartX migration solution that allows
for the gradual transition from an existing SmartZone(R) system to an ASTRO(R)
25 voice and data network. Motorola is also announcing the launch of the APX
O9 Integrated Control Head for the APX(TM) mobile radio line. The one-touch
functionality and intuitive controls in one integrated unit provide instant
multi-agency interoperability for mission critical first responders.
The O9 Control Head is the latest addition to the Motorola APX multi-band
family of radios. APX, the industry's first P25 multi-band (700/800 MHz and
VHF) family of radios, communicates with current and future P25 networks (FDMA
and TDMA) and has integrated GPS for situational awareness. As announced in
the company's second-quarter financial results, Motorola is now shipping
APX(TM) 7000 two-way radios, enabling instant multi-agency interoperability
for mission critical first responders.
Since its introduction in August 2008, APX has been recognized by the design
community with a number of award recognitions, including the iF Product Design
Award and the Australian International Design Award. In addition, the team was
named "Design Team of the Year" in the EE Times' Annual Creativity in
Electronics (ACE) Awards and won the "Silver Award" in BusinessWeek's 2009
International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), organized by the Industrial
Designers Society of America (IDSA).
A live ASTRO 25 system will be on display demonstrating a host of advanced
communications capabilities including integrated data applications, SmartX
platform migration, multi-band operations, ISSI interoperability and
spectrally efficient TDMA.
Demonstrating technology that is second nature
Motorola will be demonstrating innovation and technology that is second nature
across its portfolio of mission critical solutions at APCO. For instance,
Motorola will conduct demonstrations of breakthrough, end-to-end video
security solutions that correlate multimedia inputs to deliver real-time
situational awareness.
In these demonstrations, Motorola will integrate end-to-end video systems with
a mission critical P25 system to deliver outstanding public safety workflows.
ASTRO(TM) 25 Emergency Alerts will automatically trigger neighboring cameras
to zoom onto alert coordinates and drive awareness to video operators. ASTRO
25 data services allow responders to utilize two-way radios to proactively
identify cameras of interest to video operators.
Motorola will also demonstrate how relevant video can be shared between the
video operator and on-scene responders through real-time streaming over mobile
broadband. With video management command center applications, high-performing
mobile broadband transport, a portfolio of ruggedized mobile computing devices
and integration with the ASTRO 25 system, Motorola is exhibiting the latest
end-to-end video security solutions.
Automatic License Plate Recognition and PremierOne(TM) also featured
Motorola and PIPS Technology, a Federal Signal company, are also announcing
an Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) solution featuring new
low-profile digital Slate(TM) cameras and an ALPR expansion board that fits
Motorola MW810 Mobile Workstations, which saves space and helps eliminate
additional hardware costs.
Motorola's newest public sector applications solution, PremierOne(TM), the
next evolution in public safety and service solutions will also be on display,
transforming the way agencies operate, collaborate and share information.
Motorola is showcasing the first production use of PremierOne CAD and
PremierOne Mobile public safety applications by the city of Ventura, Calif.
Police Department. As a long-standing partner to the public sector, Motorola
designed PremierOne to help agencies respond to citizens through operationally
intuitive applications with a common platform to access centralized
information and tools.
