Northwest Central Dispatch Center (IL) Selects
ID Mobile Software from ID Networks
March 3, 2008
ASHTABULA, OH – ID Networks management announced today that it has signed a $1.3M contract with the Northwest Central Dispatch System for a new Mobile client that will replace their current TX Messenger client software. Northwest Central is a regional CAD & 911 center, based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, serving 18 area police and fire agencies. The mobile client software will be deployed on 500 laptops and PC’s throughout 9 villages during the next 6 months. Villages include Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Elk Grove Village, Hoffman Estates, Mount Prospect, Palatine, Prospect Heights, Schaumburg, and Streamwood. The villages are located in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and are located in Cook, Du Page, Lake and Kane Counties.
Cindy Barbera-Brelle, Executive Director for Northwest Central, finalized the agreement with ID Networks in January of 2008. She notes, “Our technical advisory group voted unanimously to proceed with the ID Networks mobile client software because of its advanced mobile features and the ability to interface with Northrop Grumman’s CAD software. Other contributing factors for selecting ID Networks were the embedding of Radio IP technology into the mobile applications, to allow seamless roaming through RF, Cellular, and Wi-Fi networks, along with the advanced integration of DDTI interactive, mobile mapping within the mobile client.”
According to Doug Blenman, Jr., the Product Manager for ID Networks, “Our new ID Mobile client software will provide NWC field officers with a single mobile desktop that includes online integration to their current NG CAD system, inquires to Illinois LEADS, online wireless access to their local RMS data, AVL, in-car interactive mapping, mobile messaging, mobile access to pre-plans, and inter-agency chat. In addition, our seamless integration with each agency’s mobile RMS field reporting enhances officer efficiency immensely by eliminating double typing for traffic tickets, IOR reports, and accident reports. This is all done while using state-specific form-on-screen applications.”
As part of the mobile solution, NWC field officers will not be disrupted in their applications as they roam through various types of wireless coverage, with the need to manually re-establish their VPN connections. The ID Mobile client software will intuitively provide maximum bandwidth utilization, through the use of advanced wireless communications software tools from Radio IP, which also provide advanced compression and secured encryption to insure Illinois LEADS and CJIS Security Policy guidelines.
ID Networks will be providing a variety of maintenance services for Northwest Central and its member agencies, with both field service and remote support personnel.
