From municipalities to schools, from correctional facilities to ports, the more interconnected communications are the better for Florida as a whole. Services improve, operations run more efficiently and communities become safer. That's the unifying power of Motorola's ASTRO® 25.
Calling 9-1-1 during a crisis informs dispatch of an incidence, but it doesn't enable continuous communication with first responders – until now. Motorola's SafetyConnect solution links schools' radio systems directly and securely with the P25 system used by public safety professionals. As such, they can receive critical information as the situation unfolds, saving precious time and potentially lives.
Security and communication go hand-in-hand. Thanks to ASTRO 25, Florida's 140 correctional facilities can harden both with AES encryption and FIPS certification that locks down the system from eavesdroppers. Moreover, it puts guards on the same P25 system that local police use, giving both the ability to solidify collaboration should an emergency occur.
Floods, hurricanes and tornadoes can wreck havoc on Florida's neighborhoods. ASTRO 25 helps restore order faster, as it cuts through the unnecessary layers to coordinate directly with first responders. Using a countywide P25 public safety network, utility companies can better handle emergencies, while maintaining control of their own radio systems. And with the addition of an ISSI gateway, they can stay in constant contact with their dispatch centers.
From Jacksonville to Key West, from Palm Beach to Tampa, Florida's 14 seaports are vital to the state's economy, moving thousands of people and items each year – the very thing that makes them a target of threats. With ASTRO 25, port personnel can expedite response by communicating directly and seamlessly with federal, state and local public safety agents.
