Fire and EMS
System Utilization by Firefighters and EMS Personnel
Firefighters and EMS personnel face tremendous challenges when responding to emergency situations. The last thing they need are additional obstacles such as a malfunctioning mobile computer. AMREL understands access to critical data and emergency communications to headquarters can be the key to a successful outcome.
AMREL takes these concerns and requirements very seriously, and we put our years of experience & knowledge behind every ROCKY rugged computer. The results have been field proven sustainability at the most critical of times. When other systems have failed, AMREL's ROCKY fully rugged computers have come through with unrivaled performance and dependability.
ROCKY wireless ready systems can be relied upon to maintain communications between emergency field personnel and headquarters regardless of the situation. When vital data such as medical records, building plans, and environmental conditions need to be quickly accessed, our ROCKY MK8 in-vehicle rugged computers are the perfect solution.
The ROCKY MT8-I's DVI interface allows for the integration of up to two rugged displays for monitoring multiple information sources simultaneously.

During emergency situations, the integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) is a valuable tool for any dispatcher or user. By utilizing GPS, wireless communication and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping, dispatchers are able to track incidents at any given time/location. GPS also provides navigational information to firefighters en route to calls, and eliminating the need for physical maps and direction acquisition from dispatchers. |

Law Enforcement
| Law Enforcement Vehicle Integration and Performance |
|
AMREL's fully rugged computers are used by law enforcement and EMS agencies across the country. These units are integrated into mobile command/tactical vehicles like Chevy Tahoes and Suburbans.
The double monitor display capability allows for one computer unit to feed multiple data sources into a vehicle simultaneously; this solution serves as a cost effective, yet powerful communication tool for dispatching, routing, and incident preplanning regardless of the situation.
Upon arriving at the scene, the ROCKY rugged computer system can be set up as a tactical command post and allow emergency personnel to deal with the situation at-hand, and not waste time configuring a communications hub. |
