Motorola Solutions Envisions Virtual Reality Transforming Public SafetyMotorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI (News - Alert)) is exploring a future where virtual reality will immerse a public safety command center supervisor in an incident scene. By using a combination of virtual reality and eye-interaction technologies to navigate through video and data feeds from multiple sources, incident responses can be quickly coordinated and information shared widely to help guide officers and protect people at the scene. Motorola (News - Alert) Solutions will show live demonstrations of the virtual command center on Aug. 15-16 at the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) 2016, held at the Orange (News - Alert) County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. (booth #1337). The virtual command center proof of concept uses eye-interaction technology from startup company Eyefluence, a Motorola Solutions Venture Capital investment, to envision the future of public safety. A look at today's smart public safety solutions Today's public safety command centers can integrate the Project 25 (P25) standards-based, interoperable ASTRO® 25 land-mobile radio (LMR) network for mission-critical communications with the power of LTE (News - Alert) broadband and the latest in smart public safety solutions to turn data into intelligence. Since 2009, Lake County, Fla. has been using Motorola Solutions' ASTRO 25 LMR network as the core network for emergency interoperable communications for several counties across Florida. On Aug. 17, Greg Holcomb, Lake County public safety communications technology manager/E911, will join Motorola Solutions in a managed services panel discussion at APCO entitled "Systems Down: Best Practices for Eliminating this Status from Your Network Performance Logs" (see all Motorola Solutions presentations at APCO 2016 here). "The Lake County core network and many connected sites on this P25 mission-critical communication system are managed by Motorola Solutions," said Holcomb. "With their robust managed services offerings, the company ensures 24x7 availability, reduced risks and maximized performance for our public safety network." Motorola Solutions' CommandCentral platform provides real-time intelligence throughout all phases of police work - from planning, to operations, to investigations. CommandCentral Aware aggregates video from several sources, allowing crime center analysts to view multiple feeds on one screen and share high-definition images of suspects, vehicles, license plate numbers and other critical information to responding officers in real time. "Law enforcement agencies have access to data from multiple sources including 9-1-1 calls, live video feeds, social media activity, nationwide databases and more," said Jim Mears, senior vice president, Motorola Solutions North America Sales. "Motorola Solutions' CommandCentral platform captures this information and turns it into real-time intelligence that helps first responders resolve incidents quickly and even prevent them from happening." The CommandCentral platform will be showcased at APCO 2016, along with several of the latest mission-critical communication solutions from Motorola Solutions' Innovation Design Center in Plantation, Fla. This includes the Si500 body worn camera and CommandCentral Vault digital management solutions, which automates and streamlines the processing of video from the point of capture to video management and review, and the LEX L10 LTE handheld device designed for the rigorous demands of real-world, front-line policing. Introducing new mission-critical solutions at APCO 2016 Motorola Solutions is launching the new APX™ 8500 P25 all-band mobile radio, updated ASTRO 25 network features and the IMPRES 2 energy management system.
