Radio Frequency (RF) systems, used by Police, Fire, and EMS organizations, operate in the VHF frequency spectrum that is subject to line-of-sight limitations. MPC replaces the one-at-time click response of RF with IP transfer technology capable of thousands of simultaneous communications. The dense cell site tower grid installed throughout populated areas assures clean, clear, and uninterrupted cell phone operation.
The MPC System allows verbal communications between users in the field, as well as a command center. The communications are sent as an audio file attachment to an e-mail. Mobile users can have these attached audio files read to them over any telephone with Mobile MailCall. Users can then respond by voice audio and send these files as necessary during any event.
Multiple communications can occur simultaneously, since MPC utilizes the power of the Internet Protocol that allows thousands of e-mail to be sent at the same time. Example: 10,000 police officers in Los Angeles, California could actually communicate at the same time. This is the complete opposite of existing RF systems. The process can continue for as long as the users would like, as there will be no stand-by wait and listen, before sending and receiving critical information.
Of key importance, ALL audio responses can be captured from the field and then sent to the central command center as real-time information. The monitoring of these audio files will provide critical information to decision-makers that are not physically at the event location. Command posts, set-up by Police, Fire and EMS services, now become “virtual” command centers. Anyone who needs to have this information can access it from wherever they may be. Collaborative decisions can be made over a telephone using MPC’s Conference Bridging. Selected users can be added to a conference bridge in a matter of seconds or minutes.
Of special interest to law enforcement and Homeland Security users is the absolute security of the MPC System.
Transmissions cannot be monitored, modified, tampered with, or intercepted, in contrast to VHF radio transmissions that are sent unencrypted and are subject to being heard by any VHF radio tuned to the right frequency. MPC’s security feature is paramount in conducting operations where eavesdropping could compromise the outcome, or endanger lives and property.
