Public Safety Broadband Consortium to Participate in Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Police Vehicle Test Day

A consortium of communications providers announced today that it will demonstrate the use of live streaming video from vehicles traveling in excess of 100 mph during the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Police Vehicle Test Day on Thursday, October 26th at the Pomona Fairplex in Pomona, California.

The objective of the Public Safety Broadband Consortium – a group that includes InfiNet Wireless, Lockheed Martin Information Technology, Public Safety Broadband and Wi-Fi Citywide – is to demonstrate advances in the use of wireless broadband technology for public safety officials. The LASD’s Police Vehicle Test Day is an annual event that primarily focuses on vehicles themselves, with a testing process designed to address law enforcement officer’s operational requirements. This year’s Test Day will be held in conjunction with the COPSWest 2006 Expo in Ontario, California.

The Consortium’s live demonstration will feature Lockheed Martin’s In-Car Mobile Mesh Digital Video solution, using InfiNet Wireless 4.9 GHz mesh routers in four state of the art police vehicles. The Mobile Mesh Digital Video solution forms an instant mobile mesh network for peer-to peer networking, allowing first responders to spontaneously form an ad-hoc broadband network at the scene of an evolving incident. Once enabled, several incident scene management applications including live, streaming video between mobile vehicles may be instantaneously utilized.

During the Test Day demonstration, live video will be streamed to an infield audience of 400 plus attendees while vehicles negotiate the test course at speeds in excess of 100 mph. The streaming video will be displayed on a large screen monitor in the viewing tent.

The Public Safety Broadband Consortium will also host The Broadband Wireless Conference for Public Safety and Public Access in Riverside, California on November 8th. This event will feature a live demonstration of:

An Integrated public safety mesh network;
Wi-Fi public access network;
Mesh backhaul network.

The above demonstrations will use cutting-edge equipment and services provided by members of The Public Safety Broadband Consortium.

The conference will also feature presentations from municipal leaders, panel discussions and exhibits. Platinum sponsors of The Broadband Wireless Conference for Public Safety and Public Access include InfiNet Wireless, Lockheed Martin Information Technology, Public Safety Broadband, and Wi-Fi Citywide.

A number of the Riverside event’s sponsors will be exhibiting at COPSWest 2006, including Data911-(booths 222, 224, 323 and 325); Panasonic-(booths 517, 519, 416 and 418); and Radio IP Software- (booth 21), where additional information about the Riverside demonstration may be obtained.
