Ultra-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 41st Annual Marine Corps Marathon, which was held
on October 30th. This is the fourth year supporting the event for
Intrepid Networks and the second 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 ultra-rugged Kyocera
Brigadier Android™ smartphones loaded with Intrepid Network’s
STING® Mobile solution working in conjunction with its STING®
Tactical Suite. The newest version of STING (9.0) 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 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
STING® 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 STING® situational awareness technology
on the Brigadier smartphones with Verizon 4G network service to
create a live, common operating picture (COP) for all responders to
view. The STING® 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.
“STING® 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 Brigadier smartphone is an ideal solution for first
responders and other workers who brave the elements and
unpredictable work environments. The Brigadier complements
Kyocera’s DuraForce Series and Torque XT smartphones, along with
its Dura Series feature phones, in a portfolio of ruggedized
devices made to suit a wide range of business needs. All are
certified to Military Standard 810G to stand up to shock,
vibration, 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 Chuck Becher, senior
division vice president of sales, marketing and product at Kyocera
International’s Communications Equipment Group.
