Clever Networks initiative from the sale of Telstra.

• Titled Cooeenet@qld with DCS component titled Cooeenet@qld – Emergency Communications Systems.

• Locally coined as the Clever Networks project.

Operational Vision

To develop generic, modular and scalable Emergency Communications Systems as the core mobile infrastructure for all forms of transport, enabling applications and services to be delivered at the point of demand, rather than at an explicit location

5

Business Criteria

• Mobile user experience to be the same as working in the office.

• Secure connection to the Department’s network from the in-field command centres.

• Carrier diversity with automatic seamless cutover to other carriers.

• Wired and wireless LAN connectivity.• No in-field ICT support required – just turn

the kit on.

Event/Incident Management• Focused on developing

a number of portable small scale emergency communications systems (i.e. caches) to provide access to information and services is seen as vital to event management and ensuring safety of officers in the field

Community Communications• Focused on developing a

trailer/small vehicle based generic emergency communications system for use in fire, storm and cyclone seasons in order to assist response and recovery operations for the immediate and surrounding communities

Incident Communications• Focused on developing

the generic emergency communications system that can support the in-field service the community expects and the situational awareness the organisation and interested parties require.

Pre Hospital Care Connect• Focused on developing the

generic emergency communications system that– can be incorporated into

helicopters and– conceptually in the ambulance

vehicles of the future• enable access and

information exchange to specialist clinical advice for the resuscitation and emergent management of acutely sick and injured people .

web interface that can:• Quickly view

connection status.• Uptime• View carrier signal

strength.• Adjustable cutover

thresholds• Force a cutover to

another carrier.
