Moblle Radio PC (BOS Germany)

Control center of BOS emergency vehicles using Sepura SRG3900

Nowadays the technical equipment of the BOS emergency vehicles is highly complex and comprises of different components. Already today, in addition to the analogue radio technology also technical enhancements like navigation via automatic FMS vehicle routing and use of rear view cameras have found their way especially into the emergency service.

In order to ensure an easy and fast operation - especially against the background of the high number of systems and components installed - it is indispensible to pay high attention to a well thought out operating concept. In this connection the fast development and market penetra- tion of so called Car PCs provide an approach - also for BOS - for a central control of radios, rear view cameras, naviga- tion equipment, etc.

The Mobile Radio PC of SELECTRIC makes all functions available within a very short time after power on. Via a separate controller it is also possible to switch on the PC per TETRA status message (SDS) - e. g. from a control station. In addition radio communication will be secured and maintained in the last selected talk group - even in case the PC is not activated.

It is the successful mobile radio SRG3900 of Sepura which is used as TETRA terminal. This radio as well as an already existing analog radio (i. e. FuG 8/9) is completely controlled via the TFT touchscreen. If necessary the analogue radio may be replaced by a digital radio (Sepura SRG) later on. Especially for the opera- tion in rescue and emergency services the Mobile Radio PC provides an interface for an electrical registration of the patient data.
