System Technical Overview
For these product field trials, the TeraHop Incident Command System monitors
the arrival and provides the ability to assign and manage assets (people and
equipment) on a law enforcement incident scene.
The system is composed of:
• The MC70 PDA with TeraHop Incident Command System software,
which is used by the IC. On this PDA, the IC can manage incident
activities such as asset assignments and alerts.
• A TeraHop Gateway, which is installed in the IC’s vehicle. The gateway
is used to collect and pass events from the RSNs and data to the MC70
PDA.
• RSNs, which are worn by each participant and mounted on select
vehicles. The RSNs enable the network to determine when they are on an
incident scene and their status, and report that information to the IC’s
PDA.
