Tait Connection

Bluetooth

As the shift beings, the officer’s smart phone connects via WiFi to the radio terminal, and the officer can see the applications at their disposal. Before setting out, the officer runs an inventory app in the vehicle. Key pieces of equipment have Bluetooth tags, so UnifyVehicle detects that these items are all on board, to make sure the officer has all the tools needed for a day on the job.

Broadband data

The officer hits the road, but the UnifyVehicle terminal stays connected to the Internet via the cellular network.

The powerful receiver in UnifyVehicle, means the officer will stay connected well beyond smart phone service range, so clear voice and data communications continue as the officer receives instructions to head to an emergency. Pictures, video, vehicle licensing and other situational information can be delivered to laptops, tablets, or any devices connected to the UnifyVehicle WiFi network.

Mission-Critical Voice

The officer travels to a rural area on the outskirts of the city, beyond the reach of cellular networks.

Because UnifyVehicle is built into a mission-critical communications device, it will maintain a voice and data connection to dispatch over the wide area police radio network. The officer remains in contact with dispatch over the radio - still safe, informed and connected, despite the remote location.

Custom Applications

Software from any qualified vendor can be installed on the UnifyVehicle terminal, offering a variety of safety and efficiency applications, including:

• Voice recording: The officer can replay messages they might have missed or misunderstood. This saves valuable time in repeat conversations and helps ensure clear communication.

• Extension app: When the officer exits the vehicle, their smart phone remains connected to UnifyVehicle via WiFi, effectively becoming a remote extension for the vehicle radio. (In the past, officers would also carry a portable radio, but UnifyVehicle bridges the gap between cellular devices and wide-area networks.)
