MobileAware's SmartIP used to 'mobilize' Avon and Somerset Police Applications

Dublin, Ireland, 12 June 2008 MobileAware, the leading provider of Mobile Customer and Employee Self Service solutions, today announced Avon and Somerset Police have recently increased their deployment of mobile data services to some 450 frontline officers. MobileAware's Smart IP communication software enabled a number of existing Avon and Somerset Police applications to be 'mobilized' very quickly, simply and economically, including:

• Access to command and control incident logs
• Access to PNC person and vehicle searches
• Access to Quick address voters checks
• Access to custody photo records
• Use of the camera for evidence gathering
• Access to the Force's data warehouse
• Access to email and calendar

Avon and Somerset Police are investigating the option to utilize MobileAware's ExpressQ software for the next phase of their mobile data roll out which will see an increase in the services provided. ExpressQ will enable Avon and Somerset's IT team to develop new applications that will add further benefit to the field based officers and which will also be deployed as part of an in-vehicle mobile data solution. The ExpressQ software will allow the field based officers to work in an on-line/off line mode, thus negating the requirement to always be in cellular coverage. The solution will allow the officers to access data over Cellular or the Government approved Tetra network and will switch data seamlessly across networks. Avon and Somerset will be able to prioritise which application uses which particular channel and also allow priority based upon the critical importance of the data that is needed to be sent to the field based officer.

"MobileAware's Smart IP communications package provided the security and compression for the wireless environment allowing us to focus on our development of web based services. This was quick and easy to deploy helping us to get a mobile data solution up and running in a very short timescale. The results and feedback have been promising and we are looking forward to continue working with MobileAware as we move toward the next phase for mobile data services," commented Ian Steel, Project Manager Mobile Information at Avon and Somerset Police.

"We are delighted we could assist Avon and Somerset Police with this phase of their mobile data rollout," commented Todd Shingler, Chief Executive Officer at MobileAware. "Smart IP delivers enhanced security, scalability and performance features that provide our customers with continuous, secure access to critical applications across any wireless network."
