Tactical Communications and Surveylab – Emergency and Disaster Communications

  • Rating12345

Tactical Communications, provider of leading technology and services for emergency and disaster communications, today announced an agreement to distribute Surveylab’s Ike1000 series of geospatial field data collection tools in Texas. Texas-based municipal and federal public safety agencies are leveraging emerging GPS and GIS technologies to help measure, monitor, and manage their assets.  “The advent of this new generation of GPS devices, together with sophisticated mapping and asset management software, is transforming the way organizations review and manage assets, perform damage assessments and prepare disaster recovery plans,” said Phil Dolbow, Principal of Tactical Communications, LLC. “The Ike1000 will allow agencies to gather and consolidate data more efficiently, and quickly share or retrieve information, in situations where accurate and rapid responses are required.” Previously, first responders or wide area assessment teams would carry multiple devices, including a digital camera, separately logging specific locations of each image and manually uploading the information to a computer device. This process not only drained resources and slowed the transfer of critical information to emergency operations centers, but the risk of human error was high. Ike1000’s unique integration of rangefinder, GPS, high accuracy digital compass and camera, means customers need only purchase and travel with one hand-held device and information transfer is easy.
