SmartMsg™ Interoperable Communications System
The Federal Signal SmartMsg interoperability suite is a software-centric solution that provides comprehensive communications interoperability among multiple agencies and communication devices. Disparate, non-interoperable communication hardware has caused first responders and other public safety personnel significant difficulty in communicating with each other, and there is still no real solution in place. In addition to the need for interoperable, live communications, public safety institutions must have the ability to broadcast time-sensitive alerts to both target groups and mass citizenry. Interoperability and alerting concerns require a more immediate solution, in order for communities to have the best possible chance of minimizing catastrophe.
The SmartMsg suite blends communications interoperability, alert notification, secure urgent messaging and interactive data sharing into a single, stationary and/or highly portable, seamless software package. This approach to interoperable communications produces a complete system that provides critical communications support for emergency preparedness and response, command and control, incident response, and continuity of operations across jurisdictions, agencies and first responders. Each of these SmartMsg capabilities can be used independent of one another, or, they can be used together to deliver a comprehensive, highly flexible, cost effective and easily expandable interoperable communications system.
The Federal Signal SmartMsg system provides first responders with a comprehensive interoperability solution to enable emergency alert notification and live communication across virtually any device, including 2-way radios, phones, computers, pagers, public and industrial warning systems, sirens and more. Disparate radio systems can be bridged by docking radios into the mobile command and conrol or stationary unit. With the Federal Signal SmartMsg system, communications equipment is linked to enable various entities to work together seamlessly during emergency incidents and planned events.
The Codespear-enabled Federal Signal SmartMsg system is part of the Federal Signal Public Safety Systems platform.
