City of Newberry, S.C. Leverages In Motion Technology'sonBoard System
Feb 23, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
In Motion Technology, a provider of secure and enduring mobile communications systems that improve organization's ability to communicate on the move, said that the City of Newberry, S.C. is implementing the onBoard System to leverage public and private network infrastructure for a city-wide VoIP system that will improve response to citizen requests.
In a release, the Company said that the City of Newberry over the past ten years has invested over 20 million in infrastructure and utility upgrades to provide residents and businesses with the very best services. Newberry operates a wireless mesh network and VoIP system to support the Police and Fire, Public Works, Utility, Parks, Recreation & Tourism Departments. The City of Newberry is working to maximum network performance and coverage by using multiple network technologies - 3G, 4.9GHz and 2.4GHz.
With the mesh network deployed across the city, city leaders wanted to enable city workers to have an office in their vehicles. Before deploying the onBoard System, city workers had to be near an access point or return to the office to download information and complete reports. Without access to multiple networks and fast switching, VoIP could not have been extended to mobile workers.
"We looked at other solutions which were more expensive and took hours to configure and implement, and In Motion Technology has proven to be a committed partner in our success," said Marc Regier, Information Services Director, City of Newberry, South Carolina. "The onBoard system will help us be more responsive to the needs of our citizens and it will help us improve our productivity across all departments."
The onBoard System is a secure, manageable mobile communications system which creates a Vehicle Area Network, designed to support broadband applications in a mobile environment. The system enables real-time and bulk data transfers, and transports data for video, voice, vehicle location, mobile office and vehicle health monitoring. It provides multiple device connectivity, end to end security, support for multiple networks and mobility management.
"We're pleased to be working with the City of Newberry, where technology leadership is evident in the city's infrastructure, and enables leaders to be innovative in their approach to public service," said Tony Morris, In Motion Technology's vice president of sales and marketing.
