Mobile Data System

 

On January 25, 2007, FCEMS launched a Mobile Data System that supports and enhances many functions of the agency.  Each piece of FCEMS apparatus is equipped with a Panasonic Toughbook 29 ruggedized laptop computer, an InMotion Technology OMG-1000 mobile gateway/router and a Verizon V620 wireless PC card to leverage the power of a recently introduced EVDO Cellular Data Network in the Winston-Salem market.  The FCEMS Mobile Data System is used to:

  • Allow mobile user interface to the CAD system using Intergraph I/Mobile that also interfaces with automatic vehicle location (AVL) hardware and provides extensive map capabilities.

  • Rapidly identify and dispatch the closest available ambulance to the incident

  • Provide Vehicle-to-Vehicle, Vehicle-to-CAD and CAD-to-Vehicle messaging

  • Provide ability to upload/retrieve and print Patient Care Reports (PCRs) while mobile

  • Provide IP-based transmission of 12 Lead EKG data to the receiving medical facility prior to arrival

  • Perform remote maintenance of vehicle hardware and software by IT staff

  

Future expansion of the system will include the ability of units to order supplies, file incident reports, complete and transmit required paperwork, view satellite imagery and, transmit full-motion video to medical facilities and command posts. 

 

The system was implemented through a collaborative effort with the Forsyth County Fire Department Communications Division.
