The vast majority of Law Enforcement Departments across the Country
use P25. AT&T's FIRSTNET service may not be the best
soloution for rural America. It's a known fact that P25 radio channels get
congested in emergency situations. During an emergency when a
BOLO-APB is broadcast over the radio channels, many officers may be
preoccupied and not hear the first broadcast. An Android Smartphone
with BOLO-NET installed will immediately alert the Officer who
can review and respond as needed either over the Smartphone or P25
Radio.
Datalink's BOLOnet like FIRSTNET is also Cellular based, but unlike
FIRSTNET BOLOnet is not locked to one network like AT&T. NextM2M
used by BOLOnet is Network AGNOSTIC. A big PLUS.
Simply put. BOLOnet puts a faster and more functional tool in the
hands of each officer.
In operation
BOLO APB BROADCAST
- When a suspect is spotted, the officer
can enter the location and direction of travel in the Smartphone in
seconds which is automatically re-broadcast to every officer's
Smartphone screen in seconds with Map display.
- Bypasses the need for Dispatchers to
relay the information which can take minutes with all the voice
chatter that is part of merged Dispatching channels.
- Pictures of suspects can be broadcast in
seconds to every BOLO-NET Smartphone. You simply can't do
that with any P25 Portable.
- BOLO-NET PoC (PTT) can prioritize an
immediate broadcast to all Officers and Patrol Cars involved,
bypassing the need to relay through Dispatch who may be flooded
with calls.
This advanced technology is a MAJOR ADD-ON to P-25
Voice.
