Bengaluru City Police chooses new MC&C vehicle equipped with Zetron's Digital Console System
“Zetron's flexible command-and-control systems are the perfect supplement to the end-to-end solution offerings we provide to law enforcement, homeland security and other markets throughout India," said Mistral CEO Mujahid Alam.
Located in southern India in the state of Karnataka, Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) is a bustling, diverse metropolis that is known for its high concentration of high-tech firms. It has been dubbed the 'Silicon Valley of Asia' because it is the nation's leading exporter of information technology.
With a population of over 10 million, Bengaluru is a true megacity. The third most populous city in India, not only is Bengaluru large, it is booming — the population has more than doubled in size since 2001.
Such explosive growth can create considerable law-enforcement and security challenges. That's why India-based Mistral Solutions was recently chosen to provide the Bengaluru City Police (BCP) with a new mobile command-and-control vehicle equipped with Zetron's Digital Console System (DCS) 5020.
Implemented in August 2014, the vehicle is delivering the centralised communication and surveillance capabilities the BCP needs to deploy its operations quickly and manage events effectively on the ground.
The BCP is responsible for the city's law-enforcement and security activities. This includes maintaining law and order, providing security when needed, participating in community crime-prevention activities and managing traffic.
“The DCS-5020 has greatly improved the speed and agility with which the BCP is able to respond to events as they happen," says Pawan Vashisht, Mistral Solutions' general manager for homeland security. “It is also delivering important functionality that allows the BCP to conference and patch across different systems and agencies, which is critical during a large-scale event."
