About
Mobile and Wireless Applications & Solutions
The Department of Homeland
Security has identified first responder communications as one
of its strategic objectives for the agency. A new generation
first responder mobile technologies designed for firefighters
and law enforcement agencies will facilitate communications
in the event of terrorist attacks and other emergencies.
Other federal, state and local agencies view
mobile and wireless communications as a potential enabler of
improved communications and reduced cost of operations.
These technologies will also help field health
and medical personnel report, track and coordinate field response
to biological and chemical terror attacks faster than ever before
possible. There are even plans for small, wearable devices that
sense bio-hazardous substances.
