Nebraska State Patrol Contracts with CompuDyne - Public Safety & Justice, Inc. for a $1.1 Million Computer Aided Dispatch System
Date: Monday, April 24, 2006
ANNAPOLIS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 24, 2006--CompuDyne Corporation (Nasdaq:CDCY) an industry leader in sophisticated security products, integration and technology for the public security markets, announced today that the Nebraska State Patrol has signed a $1.1 million contract with CompuDyne - Public Safety & Justice, Inc. (formerly Tiburon, Inc.) to provide a statewide Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System. CompuDyne - Public Safety & Justice, Inc. (CompuDyne) is an industry-leading provider of automated public safety and justice systems, which meet the demanding and complex needs of law enforcement, fire and rescue, corrections and justice environments. This new statewide CAD system will serve the six state patrol dispatch centers located in Lincoln, Omaha, Grand Island, Norfolk, North Platte and Scottsbluff.
The new CAD system automates the state patrol's currently manual dispatch operations and will allow dispatchers to respond to, manage and track emergency calls more efficiently. Operating on fully distributed Microsoft Windows® workstations, the system provides server-independent processing of all critical CAD functions and a reliable configuration approaching 100% system availability. This distributed design ensures optimum availability even during catastrophic component failure. The system networks the six separate emergency communications centers to share calls and resources dynamically and provide remote backup capabilities. Since all data is duplicated at each site, in the event a communication center becomes inoperable, this disaster tolerant configuration allows another center to resume full operation with accurate, up-to-the-minute information.
CompuDyne has successfully deployed this unique system architecture in several city, county, and state-wide public safety communication centers across the country.
