The Problem: First Responder Coordination is Poor or Non-Existent The challenge is disparate: z Public Agencies z Geographies z Communication Networks z Sensor Networks, and z Legacy Systems Dispatcher is “blind” to other agency’s resources and mobile asset status Government and Industry are requiring Cooperation among: z Homeland Security z Border Patrol z First Responders Requirements for: z Decreased Response Time z Reduce Voice Traffic z Interoperability for Mutual Aid z Improved Fleet Efficiency
