Public Sector
The Public Sector encompasses numerous industries who are increasing their productivity with more cost-efficient and user friendly wireless services. These industries are crucial to the safety and security of the public, as well as serving our educational, entertainment, and travel needs. Within the safety and security industry alone, thousands of police officers, ambulance operators and fire-fighters are better able to respond to emergencies on both a large and small scale through wireless communications. The latest Wi-Fi technology from Appear Networks enables personnel to access time and location-based wireless services, and to communicate seamlessly with one another, increasing efficiency, speed of response, and security.
Current trends within the Public Sector, especially within security, are demanding more efficient communication systems that enable them to be linked instantly with their colleagues and central command posts. In addition, universities and hospitals require wireless communication systems that can link hundreds of employees, students, and visitors to their administrative systems. Specific drivers include:
- An increasing number of employees require mobile devices in order to perform their tasks, including security personnel and maintenance crews
- There is a need for on-board connectivity within public safety organizations, including the police, fire, and ambulance brigades
- Value added services such as wireless connectivity are becoming increasingly crucial within the highly competitive tourism and business travel industries
The challenges facing these industries as they try to meet these demands include:
- The support of large numbers of devices operating across multiple networks
- The synchronization of real time information on board vehicles in order to improve emergency response processes
- The need to deliver value added services across several different areas within the travel and tourism industry and for private use
Appear Networks is able to provide the Public Sector with the following solutions to the above challenges:
- The Appear IQ allows safety personnel, including police officers and fire workers as well as private security teams, to communicate effectively and access crucial information pertaining to their immediate environment where and when they need it through the provision of intelligent, location aware applications
- University students and workers in the public sector use the Appear IQ platform to access the information they need using a context triggered approach which anticipates the need of its users
