Newberry, SC and Vancouver, BC, February 21, 2012 – In Motion Technology, the leader in flexible, secure and enduring mobile communications systems that improve organization’s ability to communicate on the move, announced today that the City of Newberry, SC is implementing the onBoard™ System to leverage public and private network infrastructure for a city-wide VoIP system that will improve response to citizen requests.

The City of Newberry over the past ten years has invested over 20 million in infrastructure and utility upgrades to provide residents and businesses with the very best services.  Newberry operates a wireless mesh network and VoIP system to support the Police and Fire, Public Works, Utility, Parks, Recreation & Tourism Departments.  The City of Newberry is working to maximize network performance and coverage by using multiple network technologies – 3G, 4.9GHz and 2.4GHz.

With the mesh network deployed across the city, city leaders wanted to enable city workers to have an office in their vehicles.  Before deploying the onBoard System, city workers had to be near an access point or return to the office to download information and complete reports  Without access to multiple networks and fast switching, VoIP could not have been extended to mobile workers.

“We looked at other solutions which were more expensive and took hours to configure and implement, and In Motion Technology has proven to be a committed partner in our success,” said Marc Regier, Information Services Director, City of Newberry, South Carolina.  “The onBoard system will help us be more responsive to the needs of our citizens and it will help us improve our productivity across all departments.”

The onBoard System is a secure, manageable mobile communications system which creates a Vehicle Area Network, designed to support broadband applications in a mobile environment.  The system enables real-time and bulk data transfers, and transports data for video, voice, vehicle location, mobile office and vehicle health monitoring.  It provides multiple device connectivity, end to end security, support for multiple networks and mobility management.

The onBoard Mobile Gateway turns vehicles into mobile wireless hotspots, connecting tablets, handhelds, laptops, bar-code readers, and video cameras in and around the vehicle over any wireless network. The onBoard Mobility Manager is a powerful network management system that allows operations to manage and monitor the health of the vehicle fleet – including remote configuration, network coverage, and vehicle diagnostic data. The onBoard Connection Manager is a mobile-optimized VPN server, providing IP mobility and sub-second switching in a multi-network environment designed to work with the mobile gateway and network management system.  This complete system provides the fastest, simplest, and most cost-effective way to extend the enterprise network to the vehicle fleet.

Vancouver, BC, Canada, September 20, 2011 – In Motion Technology, the leader in mobile networking technologies that efficiently connect and manage equipment, information and people in the field, announced today that it has been awarded a state-wide contract for an Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS) for the trauma care network for Georgia.  Phase 1 implementation is now complete, and it is expected that Phase 2 initial deployment will be completed by September 30, 2011.

The Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission (GTCNC), the Georgia Emergency Management Agency / Homeland Security (GEMA/HS), and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are developing a state-wide AVLS to provide a display of ambulance positions and to advise EMS agencies and hospitals of the closest appropriate facility to transport or transfer patients, specifically in a state of emergency or a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI).  The challenge is to integrate over 200 existing EMS agencies each with their own independent communications technology.  One of the goals of the program is to implement AVLS to all primary 911 Zone Providers, in order to provide the citizens of Georgia with a powerful trauma and mass casualty incident management system including an advanced telemedicine technology infrastructure.

During the initial pilot phase of this contract, the GTCNC purchased 200 Mobile Gateways for Georgia EMS Regions 5 and 6.  The Gateways had to integrate with the GEMA/HS Geographic Tool for Visualization & Collaboration (GTVC), a geographic information system used for managing resources during responses to emergencies and homeland security incidents developed by GTRI.

”With our partners, GTRI and In Motion Technology, we will be able to provide the Georgia state-wide AVLS to better coordinate response actions in crisis situations”, said Dennis W. Ashley, MD, FACS, FCCM, chair, Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission (GTCNC).  “The network communications platform is an essential component of Georgia’s trauma system regionalization and will produce the highest possible value for Georgians’ investment in trauma care.”

In Motion Technology’s onBoard™ Mobile Gateway turns ambulances into wireless hotspots, providing seamless, secure connectivity to laptops, EKG/ECGs, RFID tags, vehicle diagnostic systems and advanced GPS/AVL systems. The onBoard™ Mobility Manager  provides each EMS agency and command center with the ability to analyze information from Gateways in the field via a dashboard which shows ambulance locations, and monitors vehicle diagnostics, devices and networks.

“We needed a communications platform that would complement the existing communications and dispatch networks at over 200 agencies across the state,” said Kirk Pennywitt, senior research engineer at GTRI.  “The challenge was effectively connecting multiple agencies with a single platform that could also accommodate future technologies and applications.”

Now in the second phase of this program, GEMA/HS has secured federal grant funds for an additional 200-400 Gateways.  In Motion Technology’s solution enables improved resource deployment, vehicle management, dispatch, messaging and operations for each EMS agency and provides GTCNC & GEMA/HS designated Command Centers with a clearer picture of EMS operations for emergency response.

In the future, the telecommunications platform provided under the AVLS program offers the potential to extend the capabilities of the hospital’s emergency care center to the injury scene to improve triage, stabilization and transfer/transport of trauma patients.  Emergency cardiac and stroke cases can be more efficiently addressed with early analysis of ECGs, video and patient care records by cardiologists and catheterization labs.  The third phase of this program will begin in late 2011 or early 2012 with the goal of having more than 90% of eligible ambulances in the state of Georgia as part of the AVLS program.

“In Motion Technology is excited to be a part of this visionary state-wide initiative for the Georgia Trauma Care Network Commission and Georgia Tech Research Institute,” said Tony Morris, In Motion Technology’s vice president of sales and marketing.  “We are pleased that In Motion Technology has been able to provide a unified communications platform solution for the trauma commission that will improve overall trauma care for the citizens of Georgia.”
