EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS
The interior of the vehicle supports a two (2) position dispatch cen-
ter, providing access to 16 radios, which cover the full spectrum of
communications frequencies employed in the public safety field.
Communications on the Statewide Trunking System, Military Net-
works, Conventional 800 MHz Systems, Low Band, High Band
and UHF frequencies as well. The ability to transmit paging tones
for various agency alerting systems, supplements the flexibility of
the communications package.
ICS SYSTEM SUPPORT: Additionally, the vehicle provides a strategic conference room, allowing 4-5 people to
meet comfortably to access scene situations and develop strategies. Incorporated in the room, are the video systems,
the ability to patch up to four radio communications channels, full telephone service access and Internet. Included , is a
complete computer system containing a Mobile Data Terminal, HAZMAT programs, mapping software, response proto-
cols and other related data files and programs. Proper vehicle identification through universal outside marker lighting is
also provided, to be compliant with the ICS System.
Conference Area Telephone, Video and Computer Screens, AC/DC
Power Outlets, Patch Panels, Audio and Video Recording & Playback
Capabilities, Plus DSS Satellite Support.
Both Dispatch Positions Multiple Two-Way Radios in the center console, with switching and patching bays at the bottom. ACU-1000 Gateway
provides radio cross patching between services.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
Many high-tech features are incorporated within the communications
systems. To enhance coverage on any of the communications chan-
nels, a 42 foot telescoping mast is built into the truck, which supports
three wideband base style antennas covering 140 Mhz - 890 MHz.
DSS Satellite reception allows 24 hour news and weather updates.
Off air reception of the video down link from the Mass State Police
aircraft is built in, as well digital video recording and playback. Video
down link systems are on board to capture and display imagery from
