INTRODUCING ZERO-GAP CONNECTIVITY ON-THE-MOVE

Excelerate launched a new 4×4 rapid response vehicle with the very latest on-the-move communications capability. This new vehicle provides superior ‘always on’ connectivity – keeping responders connected whenever and wherever required.

 

The integrated Kymeta flat-panel satellite antenna gives responders the ability to have reliable, on-the-move communications and is a game-changer for emergency response.  The antenna is small in size and can be installed on front-line rapid response vehicles as well as larger command & control units and everything in-between.  The antenna can be used as the primary bearer, or part of a more resilient blended-communications solution.

We are continually developing offerings to ensure that customers have the right solutions to address their converged technology needs. Our in-house R&D department monitors leading edge technologies to see if they can benefit our customers and complement our overall offering.

CONNECTED VEHICLE STRATEGY SESSIONS

The Northamptonshire Joint Operations Team hosted sessions around connecting responders in operational environments and demonstrated how technology has supported operational outcomes for major pre-planned event security and spontaneous complex incidents.  Case Studies included British Grand Prix F1 event at Silverstone and multi-agency response to a major fire.

 

New Product Highlights: Designed with ease of use and flexibility in mind, Excelerate’s Portable Hub and Connex Hub enable real-time transfer of data, video & voice applications – keeping responders connected in critical environments.

Excelerate’s UAV Streamer solution can add value to your existing UAV investment by improving operational outcomes. The solution makes real-time footage accessible beyond the pilot to other responders whether they are in the field or back-office location.

 

QUICK DEPLOY SELF CONTAINED PORTABLE NETWORK

Designed with high mobility and ease of use in mind, Excelerate’s command pod and satellite backhaul delivers all of the command & control communications capability you’d get onboard a command unit – without dependence on a vehicle. Currently being utilised by NHS HART Teams and Nottinghamshire FRS.
