• VPS Global™ Networking agent is integral to each VPS Mobile Solution™ client. It is an intelligent communications foundation that monitors installed client-side networking technologies and meters traffic to the client based on bandwidth availability and configuration settings. This means that large data transfers (software updates, image transfers, and e-mail attachments) can be restricted to entering a hotspot (802.11 wireless zones, for example). VPS Global™ allows for disruptions in service through a secure, persistent session capability that remains active even when connectivity is disrupted. Using an adaptive streaming data compression technology when necessary, the technology delivers the optimal throughput needed to support a content rich experience—even over narrow-band networks. It also ensures that each user’s sign-on credentials are validated, and that all the information the server exchanges passes through a secure 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption tunnel.
  
  
• Communications. VPS Message™ is the key communications component of the VPS Mobile Solution™ program. The software expands your communication options beyond talking over the radio and arms you with the ability to communicate instantly with other professionals across jurisdictional boundaries by means of 1) e-mail, 2) instant messenger, and 3) instant notifications, including bulletins (AMBER Alerts, for example), ticker tape alerts, and audible announcements. You can contact colleagues in your department and professionals in other jurisdictions easily and quickly by using use the program's contact lists, or buddy lists, when you compose e-mails or instant messages.
  
  
• Mapping. VPS MAPPING™ creates unparalleled global situational awareness for first responders, supervisors, and other authorized personnel by gathering and mapping real-time information from information systems in multiple jurisdictions. Standard versions of this product display highly detailed, real-time information on the digital map, including active calls for service, resources, symbols, labels, and features. Users can manipulate the map by using panning, zooming, and other tools. Departments can also opt for advanced mapping tools that 1) demarcate areas of importance within geo-fences, 2) calculate best routes according to distance, travel time, and other factors, 3) place markers on the map, 4) track resources, and 5) authenticate and locate units or incidents by using a variety of search criteria.
  
  
• Field Reporting. The software supports standard reports such as incident, DUI, citation, and accident reports. It also supports custom, agency specific reports, which departments can easily generate and map to a back-end database or existing RMS system. VPS Workflow™ enables departments to create and manage digital chains of review (approval chains) so that submitted reports can be forwarded through review groups (supervisors, for example) before being committed into RMS systems. The system interfaces with local, state, and federal databases, including NBIRS, NFIRS, BARD, NEMSIS, and local and state court systems.
  
  

Departments can easily integrate other components within the VPS Mobile Solution™ platform. For example, VPS provides a fully featured RMS solution for police or fire agencies. Access to the desired RMS modules can be easily configured into the VPS Mobile Solution™ client so that authorized mobile users can access them from anywhere at any time. Access to third-party applications and Web-based portals can also be configured into the VPS Mobile Solution™ client.

VPS Mobile Solution™ is extensible to provide a single portal for all of the operational components required by a public safety professional. It can be customized for police, fire, EMS, EOC, or administrative users. VPS Mobile Solution™ brings the best of all worlds in a high performance, secure, mobile environment.
