GETTING
TECHNICAL.
Intelligent RF (radio frequency) sensors are installed at
existing tower sites (antenna). Sensors listen for the control channel
transmissions. When an officer in the field keys his or her radio, the system's
CAP (Central Analyzer Processor) identifies the officer and calculates that
officer's position based upon the slightly different times each tower receives
the signal.
Multiple agencies (fire, sheriff, public utilities etc.) can each share one SafePoint system to keep expenditures at a minimum and for interoperablity. Separate software in the different Dispatcher workstations and Mobile Data Terminals at the participating agencies will access the data and display their pertinent data on their own monitor maps as well as recording it into their database.
SAFEPOINT
EVEN PROTECTS ITSELF.
An added feature of the SafePoint system is its
ability to record diagnostics for the radios in its network to check for those
with problems. Better to find out now, if a radio is likely to fail in the
field, than later when a failure could be life threatening. Just one more way
that Officer Safety remains SafePoint priority one.
