“Wireless LAN boosts response time”

• Roll seamlessly from local hot spot inside the station to wide-area Wi-Fi on the street

• Get situational updates, floorplans, & route maps after we leave station

Fire & Paramedic Advantages

• Once medical comes online, we expect to monitor life-signs and transmit them real-time to emergency staff at hospital

SLIDE 29


Exchange important dynamic information as it happens

• Identify area resources for faster response

• Emergency services could assess the situation prior to arrival by viewing pictures from a deployed Wi-Fi camera in the area

A few seconds in response time makes all the difference . . .

• As cash-strapped cities downsize fire station presence, the Wi-Fi network enables more with less

• Improved response time helps protect cities from costly litigation
