Rugged Smartphones with High-Performance Situational
Awareness Software Supported Safety Initiatives and Enabled Secure,
Real-Time Communication
Kyocera International Inc., the leader in rugged mobile
solutions, and Intrepid Networks, developers of
situational-awareness software for Public Safety, collaborated to
again provide the Arlington County Police Department (ACPD) with
high-performance, military-grade devices to support security
operations at the 42nd Annual Marine Corps Marathon, which was
held on October 22nd. This is the fifth year supporting the event
for Intrepid Networks and the third year for Kyocera.
The Marine Corps Marathon, also known as “The Marathon of the
Monuments,” is the fourth largest marathon in the United States,
with approximately 30,000 runners this year and thousands of
spectators. To enhance situational awareness and communication,
this year the ACPD deployed dozens of rugged,
military-grade DuraForce PRO Android™ smartphones loaded with
Intrepid Networks’ RESPONSE® Mobile solution working in conjunction
with its RESPONSE® Tactical Suite. The newest version of RESPONSE®
(11.0) is deployed to many Federal, State and local agencies across
the United States and has been utilized by numerous Public Safety
organizations for events nationwide. Connectivity for this solution
was provided by Verizon Wireless, which supplied 4G LTE network
access on existing commercial infrastructure to support First
Responders at the event.
“Coordinating a complex multi-agency security posture in and
around key national assets and monuments required advanced
interoperability technology and the integrated mission support that
we trust Intrepid Networks to deliver,” said M. Jay Farr, Chief of
Police of the Arlington County Police Department. “Intrepid’s
RESPONSE® software and the military-grade line of Kyocera
smartphones provides an ideal platform to meet the unique needs of
our first responders.”
On-the-ground security and law-enforcement teams at the Marine
Corps Marathon utilized the RESPONSE® situational awareness
technology on the DuraForce PRO smartphones with Verizon 4G LTE
network service to create a live, common operating picture (COP)
for all responders to view. The RESPONSE® solution enables tactical
teams to share a range of data including maps, GPS, photo, text and
voice-to-text notes. All information is geo-tagged and time-stamped
for unparalleled accuracy.
“RESPONSE® fundamentally reduces the communication loop, speeds
response times and interconnects otherwise disparate units and
responders,” said Jason Winslow, Director of Business Development
for Intrepid Networks. “This is especially key during large-scale
security operations and, just as importantly, the collaborated
efforts of Intrepid Networks and Kyocera delivered top-notch
support for the event security elements.”
The Kyocera DuraForce PRO smartphone is an ideal solution for
first responders and other workers who brave the elements and
unpredictable work environments. The DuraForce PRO, available from
major national wireless service providers, is the latest in
Kyocera’s portfolio of ruggedized smartphones and feature phones
made to suit a wide range of business needs. All are certified to
Military Standard 810G to stand up to shock, vibration, water,
extreme temperature, blowing rain, dust, low pressure, solar
radiation, salt fog and humidity. The smartphones also support
seamless integration with leading enterprise mobility management
(EMM), security and enterprise-software solutions.
“Kyocera is the leader in rugged mobile solutions, and working
with Intrepid Networks and the ACPD on the Marine Marathon was a
perfect way to demonstrate not only the dependable real-world
performance of our ruggedized devices, but also their ability to
operate seamlessly with leading enterprise software in a
challenging, dynamic environment,” said Akira Iino, Vice President
of the Communications Equipment Group at Kyocera International,
Inc.
