Prison Healthcare
Northern Ireland has three prisons Magilligan, Maghaberry and Hydebank Wood College. In 2008 The South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust (SEHSCT) started providing the healthcare in all prison sites. There are 130 staff working throughout all healthcare disciplines.
Project Echo will create an opportunity to help build a community of practitioners providing best patient care, through sharing of best practice, Hub specialist advice and reflective learning. By enabling a multidisciplinary group of healthcare and prison staff to meet at each spoke, it will engender an integrated approach to patient care across specialities and health and justice. It will also enable a combined approach and a standardisation of best care across the three N.I. prison estates. The sessions will aim to build expertise in front line staff, and meet the need for specialty care in the prison population.
Multidisciplinary teams from other UK prisons acting as spokes in the ECHO project will be an innovative way to share best practice. It will enable a collective approach to problem solving in prison healthcare and broaden the knowledge of the Northern Ireland prison teams. This will be a platform for future collaborative research and education and if evaluated as beneficial to patients and staff be replicated in other prison settings.
From December to March, this ECHO network aims to provide teaching on the following four themes:
- Palliative Care
- Blood Borne Viruses
- Chronic Respiratory Diseases
- Sexual Health and Harm Reduction.

Tim Vine crowned Fringe's funniest again
PERHAPS it's the way he tells them...comedian Tim Vine has won the award for the funniest joke at the Edinburgh Festival for the second time.
The star of the BBC sitcom Not Going Out and host of ITV gameshow Don't Blow The Inheritance, is the first person ever to win the award twice after his quip – "I've decided to sell my Hoover... well, it was just collecting dust" – was voted top joke at this year's festival.
He triumphed in 2010 with: "I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again."
Vine, 47 – younger brother of journalist Jeremy Vine – was also runner-up in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The top 10 jokes were selected from a list by 2,000 festival-goers and the final rankings were decided by a poll of viewers of the comedy television channel Dave.
Three women made the list: Bec Hill at fourth, Ria Lina at fifth, and Felicity Ward in 10th place with a philosophical thought: "This show is about perception and perspective. But it depends how you look at it."
The award celebrates the fantastic range of comedy on offer and Tim has once again proved that he is king of the one-liners
On being crowned this year's winner, Tim said: "I'm a little bit surprised but very delighted."
The Fringe event, which runs throughout August, is the world's largest arts festival with almost 50,000 performers.
Steve North, general manager of Dave, said: "It's great to see a range of established and new comedians in this year's top 10. The award celebrates the fantastic range of comedy on offer and Tim has once again proved that he is king of the one-liners."
Vine holds the world record for the most jokes told in an hour.
But he also topped a list of the festival's least-funny quips, with the line: "I'd like to start with the chimney jokes – I've got a stack of them. The first one is on the house."

text: I'm working on my own feature film right now and it is a single location stage shoot. It is very very difficult to get much more than 50-60 pages out of this which I think with action will translate to about 65-70 minutes including credits. Now I'm not so arrogant as to expect a national release, but I just need a guideline to shoot for. I know I've seen some fairly short movies before and I think I would be happy to get 70 minutes out of this. I know Open Water seemed very short and it was about 80 minutes I think.

Unconstrained formulation of standard quadratic optimization problems
A standard quadratic optimization problem (StQP) consists of nding the largest or smallest value of a (possibly indenite) quadratic form over the standard simplex which is the intersection of a hyperplane with the positive orthant. This NP-hard problem has several immediate real-world applications like the Maximum-Clique Problem, and it also occurs in a natural way as a subproblem in quadratic programming with linear constraints. We propose unconstrained reformulations of StQPs, by using dierent approaches. We test our method on clique problems from the DIMACS challenge.

Found the answer.
After perusing past posts I found one by "AtCollege" which pointed to the answer.
I'll paste it below. Thanks AtCollege.
Display Formatted #'s from Excel in a Word Mail Merge
The solution starts in Word. Go to Tools, Options, General tab. Check Confirm Conversion at Open. OK.
This is a permanent change in Word and you should only have to do it once.
In Excel, format dates and numbers the way you want them to appear in Word.
Back in Word's Mail Merge Wizard, Browse for the Excel recipient list. When it is opened, you will be prompted for the type of connection. Look for something with DDE in it. Once you select that, you will have to say what sheet, etc. to use. But then any fields which contain dates, numbers will display the formatting you chose in Excel.
This "problem" started in Word XP, I think. Microsoft has a knowledge base article about it. Word 2007 also has the same "feature".

Confirm conversion on Open in Word 2007 not working
Word 2003's Confirm Conversion on Open worked well. Number formats from Excel came across during Word Mail Merge.
Since WD2007 has the same kind of setting (Office Button, Word Options, Advanced, General section, check Confirm file format conversion on open)I thought it would work the same.
But I am finding this is not so. When connecting to the recipient list, there is only one way to connect - ODBC. Without the DDE selection, formatting doesn't come across from Excel.
I can supply field switches, but this doen't give me the right formatting. What should be 50% displays as 01%.
My guess is that if I can get DDE as a choice when connecting to the data source, that the formatting will come across from Excel.
FIX - floating point calculation
I applied the floating point calculation fix, a newer one and it fixed the problem. Here is what I used:
Now my formats come across from Excel just fine.
However Word 2007 makes getting the DDE type of connection harder to find. In the Confirm Data Source window, you have to check Show All, then scroll down near the bottom of the list to MS Excel Worksheets via DDE (*.xls)
Yes, it will work with xlsx files too.
DDE connection
For some reason when I am setting up the DDE connection as I used to with Office 2003 it keeps giving me an error message that it can not establish the DDE connection. Anyone have an idea?
DDE Connections
I am experiencing the same problem and it is making me crazy! Did you learn anything because I did not see any comments. ANY help would be appreciated!
Export as CSV file
I had the same issue but with dollar amount during mail merge from Excel to Word. After I saved the file as a CSV file and then pointed the mail merge to that, it got fixed.
Worth a shot.

Institutionalization of Political Institutions and their Impact on Public Policy
This paper argues that institutionalization is an equilibrium phenomenon and is associated with better policies and better results in terms of economic development. In support of this argument is presented a theoretical model that extends the space of feasible actions for political actors, including the possibility of investing in both institutionalized and non-institutionalized arenas. Thus, to visualize the process of institutionalization can be endogenous to the functioning of political institutions. In addition to this conceptual model, quantitative results are presented which show that low levels of institutionalization tend to weaken the results arising from the literature of more traditional political economy. That is, low institutionalization in the context of traditional political institutions, particularly those jure measures may not be relevant in explaining policy outcomes. Still, this work opens up more questions than it answers and leaves lines of research proposals that can help provide answers to them.

Tips on renting a dumpster in Hazel Green, AL
Estimating the volume of junk or debris
It's difficult to estimate the amount of junk or debris you'll have for a particular project, such as a roofing job or household cleanout. Your best source of information in this case is your dumpster rental company. They have experience in dealing with a wide variety and quantities of waste and debris. They can help you choose the ideal container size with relatively precise accuracy.
If you choose to estimate the amount of debris yourself, you can measure it and convert it to cubic yards. One cubic yard is equal to a 3 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. pile of debris. That's about the volume of a standard kitchen stove.
Estimating the weight of a load is extremely difficult, and so it's best to consult your dumpster provider to determine if your load is likely under the weight allowance for a particular container size.
How many days is the rental period?
One week is a standard rental period, although it's not uncommon to find some dumpster rental companies offering 14-day rentals included in the price. Some may even charge a daily fee for rental, which could end up being a better deal in cases where you only need the container on site for a day or two.
If you need a dumpster for longer than the rental period, you can request it for longer and pay a "late fee" of typically $5 or $10 per day. Many rental companies cap the maximum length of the rental due to inventory issues. To have a debris box picked up prior to the end of the rental period, simply call the company and request a pick-up.
5 common types of dumpsters
Commercial dumpsters – Used for weekly/monthly trash hauling services at businesses. Not for temporary use.
Roll-off containers – Dumpsters you rent for temporary use at home, construction sites or commercial cleanups.
Trailer dumpsters – An alternative to roll-off dumpsters used by some rental providers. It offers the advantage of being on wheels, which decreases the risk of damage to your driveway.
Bag-style containers – "Bagster" and similar type of compact containers ranging from 1 cubic yard to 3 cubic yards, generally.
"Lowboy" dumpsters – Roll-off dumpsters with low sides, ideal for loading heavy materials, such as dirt, concrete or masonry.

Long story but this is how it went..read at your own risk... lol
So Sunday morning at about 9:00 I go over my best friends house. We are hanging out watching the Alien movies, when he hears the doorbell ring. Well he opens it up to see who it is and its his 24 year old sisters boyfriend ( that she has 2 kids with). Well he lets him in and knocks on his sisters door to let her know that her boyfriend is here. Well her dumbass had another guy in her room.
So yeah... dumb.
Anyways so later that day.. that bitch ( this is the same bitch that watered down my lemonade) was going off on JOhn telling him that he needs to stop fucking answering the door if he doesnt know whats going on.
And he was of course just like " Well How am I sopposed to know that you have another guy over"
Anyways point being his sister is a dumbass 6 foot goofy dumbass.... that has no job...no schooling...no nothing.accept 2 kids.. that she doesnt even know how to take care of.. she leaves her moms house once every month seriously. And shes a bitch.. ANd she kept bitching and yelling at him for like an hour! And he was getting so pissed off we decidied to leave.
Anyways I have always been nice to her the three years that i've known that dumb oaf but not yesterday!
We we left the house.. I told him that she was Just a dumb bitch and pretty much that she brought all this on herself for lying.
Well she overheard me talking to him so I heard her yelling in the house that I was a dumb bitch.. I just ignored it and kept walking down to the car... but then..... That Bitch Came outside and said...." YOur a dumb bitch thats why your hair is falling out"
Then she walked back into the house.
I stopped. I dropped my shit on the ground.
All I could think about was ripping her fucking hair out for saying that.
So I took one look at my friend.... Ran back into the house... spotted her and fucking ran up and tackled her big dumbass.
I grabbed her fucking head and banged her head into the fucking chair that we had knocked over by the fall until she stopped really moving.. Then I just wrapped my legs around her so she couldnt get up and
I fucking tried to pull as much of her fucking hair out as possible... so her hair would be falling out too.
His mom was screaming...... and this big dumn oafs 32 year old boyfriend...trys to get me to let go of Christina.. but I wont I keep fucking her up.. then HE THE 32YEAR OLD MAN grabs my fucking hair and starts beating my fucking head in. Now I dont know why the fuck he did that... he had nothing to do with any of it. But he got me to loose the grip I had on one of her arms... so she was slapping me in the chest trying to get me to let go of her.. while her 32 year old boyfriend still has a lock of my hair pulling as hard as he can..
But JOhn my friend.. ran over and started punching his sister in the back...and jumped in .lol and I got a good grip on her again.. Then they had to beg me to let go of her.. And I told her if I let go of you and you try to hit me I am going to fucking kill you.
Dumb bitch needs to learn to shut her fucking mouth.
Im not the type to let someone talk to me that way...
so Im sure shes somewhat Fucked up.. however me..
my head is just brusied and has a knot where DUMB 32 year old man fucking hit me.
Hes gonna get whats coming to him. Let me tell you.
lol He likes to hit on 19 yr old girls... well yea.. what a bitch..
and he says "I was just trying to stop the fight.."
lol. What a dumbass.
So a lot of drama... it was funny though.. I bet she wont open her fucking mouth to me again.. Or the same shit will happen again....
and again..
and again...
Anyways I was being really nice to her.. I could have REALLY FUCKED HER UP if I wanted. She still got up and walked.. thats means I was nice...
I dont fight much.. its just like every couple of years when some dumbass pushes me the wrong way.. I try not to fight but in this case I felt she needed someone to shut her fucking mouth for her.
So I guess I wont be going over there for ALONG TIME.
His mom wasnt that mad at me... she was just like..I shouldnt have came back into the house...
but then she started saying that the reason no one likes me in that house is because Im not sociable.
I'm like "Oh I'm sorry Let me just change my whole personality to better convenance you and your family"
Fuck all that ... im staying home.

There was a second there when it looked like the sun shield style might be yielding but it's hard to keep such a sun and sport-friendly trend down and out. The latest street impact shows a strong tendency toward one-piece front-pieces and it's certainly keeping plenty of face bridges well shaded… and reflectively fashionable.

goo·gle (goo'-gul)
Word came yesterday that the cutting-edge folks at Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary have added "Google" to their lexicon.
Can "computer," "biplane" and "steam engine" be far behind?
The seemingly omniscient Google search engine, beta-launched in 1998, became a word on its own at least by the turn of the millennium. Has any woman about to go on a first date since 2000 not been asked by a girlfriend, "Did you Google him?"
Indeed, Google (correctly entered by Webster's as a vt. ) has become shorthand for "to find out about." Or, more pointedly, "to stalk." The dictionary defines it as: "to use the Google search engine to obtain information about (as a person) on the World Wide Web."
Google, the word, now takes its place alongside the handful of proper nouns that have moved beyond a particular product to become descriptors of an entire sector -- generic trademarks. There is a small price to pay: The product typically loses its capitalization when it ascends into this rarefied etymological realm. Hence, Google becomes google. But little matter. After all, is there another shorthand term for vinyl flooring squares than linoleum? Does anyone make photostatic copies? Of course not. They xerox. No one takes a temperature-maintaining vacuum cylinder on a picnic or plays with a flying plastic disc when they get there.
Now: How long until Webster's gets hip to tivo?

Digital Download Audible, Inc. 2009
In this collection of articles, essays, and short stories, British author Martin Amis looks at the shock and implications of 9/11. Sometimes controversial, sometimes emotional, Amis examines the effects of the attack and how terrorism has changed the world. Written over a period of six years, the various works show the evolution of Amis's and others' thinking about this event. Narrator Nick Sullivan gives an uninspired reading, enunciating every syllable and rendering the material devoid of any feeling. Sullivan slogs through these works without bringing them to life in any way. A collection of interesting reflections ends up being tedious.

The Technology of Interoperability
Written by Susan Geoghegan
0 Comments
The use of wireless communications technology within the public safety sector continues to play a major role in creating safer communities. Public Safety Communications Offi cials (APCO) and Motorola shows that public safety administrators and fi rst responders recognize the importance of advanced technologies in missioncritical environments.
The majority of agencies currently use some form of wireless communications technology, which includes computer mapping, traffi c light sensors and video surveillance systems. While the main area of concern cited is interoperability, emergency personnel want systems that are reliable, scalable and mobile.
A technology and innovation leader since its founding in 1922, Raytheon provides enhanced interoperability for military and public safety operations with its WAIS and ACU solutions. The Wide Area Interoperability System (WAIS) gives fi rst responders operating on different systems or frequencies the ability to communicate across entire regions and states. WAIS software easily integrates into existing systems and allows users to control interconnected, on-site interoperability systems from any point on a network.
The ACU-1000 solution provides simultaneous cross-connection of different radio networks to telephone or SATCOM systems, as well as RoIP/ VoIP talkpaths. The system connects up to 12 audio devices (and can be expanded to 24) and has the ability to interconnect radios in any band. ACU- 2000 IP interoperability offers additional SIP capabilities that allow disparate communications systems to be connected, monitored and controlled over an IP network. The local Interoperability Gateway provides SIP capability for full radio network interoperability, while the server-based version uses SIP to provide cross-connection capability for radios and other four-wire devices.
Last year, the Yuba City Police Department (YCPD) deployed a multiagency interoperability system designed and built by Sutter Buttes Communications Inc., using Raytheon's ACU-2000 IP interoperability gateway component. It is placed on the region's solitary, highlevel mountaintop to ensure optimum coverage and includes low and high band frequencies, as well as 800 MHz repeaters and base stations.
According to Yuba City Police Chief Richard J. Doscher, Raytheon's sales and technical staff provided outstanding, ongoing support throughout the various stages of the project.
Harris Corporation is a leading global provider of assured communications systems and services for both the private and public sectors. Responding to the need for enhanced communications across disparate radio systems during crisis situations, Harris has developed powerful network and radio solutions that give first responders the necessary tools to effectively respond during critical operations.
To meet the requirements of the FCC's National Broadband Plan, Harris developed VIDA Broadband LTE, a complete 700 MHz private broadband network based on 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution) cellular technology. It offers broadband mission-critical communications for fi rst responders by allowing direct connection of Harris VIDA-based LMR and the LTE systems into a single multi-band, multi-node communication network.
The NetworkFirst™ IP solution enables continuous interoperability among agencies operating on different frequencies and systems; it can be deployed as a standalone interoperability solution or as a fully supported application of an existing VIDA network solution. Harris' P25IP system is an IP-based network that provides reliable and secure interoperability communications at the network level using P25 standards, with Project 25 ISSI and NetworkFirst, or at the subscriber level by incorporating multi-mode radios.
Ontario County, N.Y., replaced its existing analog infrastructure in 2009 with the Harris P25IP system, providing interoperable communications to approximately 2,500 first responders in a 662-square-mile area. Sam Casella, county supervisor and chairman of the Ontario County Public Safety Committee, said that after evaluating all the alternatives, the county decided that Harris offered the best solution to meet both its current and future communication needs.
Frequentis USA Inc.
Frequentis provides innovative public safety solutions that focus on human-machine interface usability, resulting in userfriendly applications that allow fi rst responders to concentrate on the task at hand. As Frequentis USA President Robert Nitsch points out, "We listen, design, build and deploy equipment and services that provide end-users with solutions that help them cope with their everyday stressful work environment."
The Frequentis Project™ product line was developed in cooperation with public safety professionals and gives emergency personnel the ability to effectively record and manage all events of an incident. The Frequentis Safety Framework™ is one component of theFrequentis Project™ system, providing a safe and secure data exchange environment and seamlessly connecting all subsystems.
Other components include application solutions for CAD, MDC, RMS, GIS and AVL. Protect™ 9-1-1 provides GIS-based Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) functionality and the ability to accept an incoming emergency call directly from the map. Protect™ CAD/GIS allows dispatchers to effectively manage voice, data and video communications systems, while the Protect™ RMS and MDC/AVL mobile solutions give first responders access to critical information from any mobile site or workstation.
Frequentis USA Inc. partnered with SouthCom Dispatch in September 2008 to design and deploy an NG9-1-1 compliant, fully integrated CAD, RMS and 9-1-1 Telephony system in Matteson, Ill. The solution integrates 9-1-1 Voice, CAD/GIS, mobile data terminals, records management, alarm management, paging and recording. Using a "scrum" development approach, Frequentis was able to introduce new software every few months, giving the dispatch center the flexibility needed to fine-tune its operations.
Incident Communications Solutions (ICS)
ICS offers customized, cost-effective solutions for mobile command vehicles, emergency management centers, tactical video surveillance and rapidly deployable communications systems. According to Chris Boyd, communications architect and vice president of marketing and product development for ICS, the company's turnkey applications make its solutions the right choice for mission-critical operations.
Custom-configured on a Chevrolet Avalanche platform and equipped with ICS' patented Onboard VehiclePower architecture, TCOMM™ is a tactical communications vehicle that delivers reliable connectivity in both urban settings and rugged, isolated areas. Quick and easy and to set up, TCOMM gives fi rst responders access to phones, data systems and video teleconference via Tactical-IP™ satellite connectivity.
The ICS pCom™ 355 is a mobile communications infrastructure solution that provides essential on-scene communications and site resources in a portable platform. This self-suffi cient system can stay powered without refueling for up to seven days, is towable by any half-ton truck, and comes equipped with an integrated 41-foot tower that provides site lighting, radio and repeater antennas, and wireless mesh endpoints.
In 2009, the Salt Lake City UASI COML Group and the Charlotte Fire Department FIELDCOM unit participated in a four-day cross-training exercise that simulated a multi-agency regional incident response, allowing the two agencies to share best practices and standard operating guidelines. The following year, North Carolina's Urban Search and Rescue Taskforce 8 (NCTF-8) deployed the ICS pCom 355 for enhanced communications during natural or manmade disasters. The system included an ACU-2000 interoperability switch that connects to Motorola's XTL-5000 LMR radios, allowing operators to patch UHF, VHF and other radio networks.
As a global leader in unifi ed communications (UC) systems, Polycom delivers industry-leading, standards-based telepresence, video, voice and infrastructure solutions for both the private and public sectors. With the company's immersive telepresence solutions, police, fi re and emergency personnel can attend critical, ongoing training sessions directly from their workstations, without interrupting daily operations.
HDX® technology delivers high quality voice, video and content for unsurpassed performance and provides cutting-edge options for data and information-sharing during conferencing. The company's patent-pending Lost Packet Recovery (LPR) feature protects IP video calls from the damaging impact of packet loss, making the system more forgiving of bad network connections. Polycom public safety solutions can be used for daily briefi ngs across multiple stations, command and control coordination, administrative meetings, and crossagency emergency fi eld communication.
When the Springfield-Green County Offi ce of Emergency Management decided to enhance its disaster preparedness program, it chose Polycom's HDX telepresence solutions and Converged Management Application (CMA). Deployment of the Polycom Video Border Proxy solution allowed the county to connect via video with critical outside private and government agencies, such as FEMA, the Red Cross and the National Weather Service.
OEM Director Ryan Nicholls said they "were impressed with Polycom's ability to deliver a complete end-to-end, cost-effective solution for the entire 18-county roll-out."
According to Matt Jackson, Polycom's director of government markets, videobased training saves time and money, allows uninterrupted response time for emergency personnel, and delivers optimum ROI. Faster response time can result in lower insurance rates but, most importantly, benefits the community and its citizens.
For more than 32 years, Inmarsat has been at the forefront of mobile satellite services and continues to introduce new technologies for improved interoperability and situational awareness. The company's latest generation of satellites is the Inmarsat 4 (1-4), providing worldwide coverage on land, sea and air via its Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN).
As the only mobile satellite service to offer broadband data with simultaneous voice through a single portable device, BGAN is accessible via compact, lightweight satellite terminals that can be set up in minutes. With standard user interface across all terminals, BGAN is easy to use and provides communications operability even when terrestrial networks are disrupted.
The broadband mobile command post supports e-mail, Internet, VPN and telephony systems, keeping critical personnel connected via standard HF radios and cell phones. Available as a fixed or mobile application, it supports multiple users from a single device via a WLAN. BGAN allows the same device to be used nationwide, resulting in a cost-effective solution that enables real-time communications from more locations.
When the Philippines was hit with a typhoon in July 2010, a BGAN-powered emergency telecoms kit was donated to the Philippines National Disaster Council (NDCC) to assist in the rescue efforts. Each kit contained satellite terminals, data transmitters for Internet connectivity, IT equipment and a solar-based power box, providing seamless connectivity throughout the region. According to the NDCC's Information and Communications Technology Offi cer Frederic Bragas, more than 200 e-mails of alerts, situation reports and weather bulletins were sent via BGAN in a single day.
Developed to ensure enhanced communications among first responders operating on divergent systems, Motorola's MOTOBRIDGE solutions are offered in both fixed and mobile applications. Motobridge is a highly scalable, IP-based system that builds upon traditional gateway components to create a fl exible, dynamic interoperability solution for the public safety sector. Its distributed architecture design allows each component to function independently in case of damage or loss of power.
Among the networks that can be supported for interoperability are two-way radio systems, Project 25 systems, telephone (IP, cellular and landline), Sprint PTT networks and radio systems from any manufacturer. Motobridge is also interoperable with MOTOTRBO™ radio systems and SMARTNET™, SmartZone™ and ASTRO® 25 systems.
MOTOBRIDGE offers an IP Dispatch application that allows network administrators to quickly set up communication with radio users via a simple graphical user interface. Pre-configured emergency communication plans are stored and easily activated with the click of a mouse. Effective joint response planning is achieved with the Virtual Control Head feature which connects various dispatch control points and telephone users via full-duplex telephone conferencing.
In February of 2007, a series of violent tornadoes devastated several counties in central Florida and left more than 20,000 residents without power. With a downed communications tower in Lake County, coverage was nonexistent, potentially jeopardizing emergency operations.
Fortunately, through the Florida Interoperability Network (which uses Motorola's Motobridge IP hardware and software), communications among emergency personnel operating in the affected areas continued uninterrupted and allowed the surrounding counties to assist in patching mutual aid radio channels from their system to fi rst responders.
Solectek is a leading manufacturer of long-range broadband wireless products used to transmit voice, data and video. Its broad product portfolio includes high-capacity backhaul, multipoint/ access networks and management systems. Solectek's SkyWay Series includes licensed and unlicensed point-topoint backhaul, unlicensed multipoint access, WiMax multipoint access and mobile broadband access.
The SkyWay 5000 Series delivers data rates up to 72Mbps, allowing users to download large data fi les, high-resolution images and video clips in a matter of seconds. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) provides increased spectral frequency for higher data rates and multiple, non-overlapping channels. With the fully integrated SkyWay 5000 Series, digital baseband, radio and antenna are all combined into a single weatherized outdoor chassis, complete with Power over Ethernet support.
When the 4.9 GHz licensed spectrum band was created exclusively for public safety use, Nevada's Douglas County Communications/9-1-1 center decided to deploy a video-monitoring system within the region. Initially, Solectek 5.8 radios were installed at specifi ed intersections in South Lake Tahoe to monitor casino crowds, but since then the surveillance system has evolved into a traffic watch program for the sheriff's department. Solectek radios can also aggregate and transport multiple camera signals gathered from pre-existing Wi-Fi networks.
In addition to providing high-value broadband products, Solectek's services and support team is on hand to ensure a seamless migration throughout all phases of a project. President and CEO Eric Lee states, "We provide high performance products at reasonable costs and extensive technical support to ensure the customer's networks are implemented as quickly as possible."
Mutualink's unique interoperability network solutions provide emergency personnel with the capability to share voice, text, video and data communications over a wide area network (WAN). According to Mutualink President and CFO Colin McWay, the company developed an N-scale, ad hoc invitation-based solution in which people can make decisions to come together and share resources on the same preparedness network. Unlike traditional "hub and spoke" technology, there are no centralized switches or servers, allowing users to communicate directly with one another as desired.
Mutualink's network architecture consists of three primary components: the Mutualink Interop Network, the Interoperability Workstation (IWS) and the Network Interface Controller (NIC). The Interop Network operates in a peer-to-peer environment that can be accessed via dedicated or virtual connections and allows existing participants to instantly view new subscribers joining the network.
The Interoperability Workstation is the point of communication among entities on the network for voice, text and data sharing, and can be used as a standalone system, a miniconsole, or integrated into an existing console position. The Network Interface Controller enables ad hoc integration of communication devices for radio, intercom, telephone and video resources.
Huntington's (N.Y.) new state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center opened in March 2009 and serves as the hub of operations for the effective coordination of resources during crisis situations. Mutualink provided an interoperable emergency communications system that allows police, fire and emergency medical personnel to communicate across disparate networks.

Their innovative solutions include multi-band public safety radio system deployment, regional LMR voice interoperability, CAD systems, and multi-functional mobile public safety interoperability applications.
In 2005, Televate personnel managed the launch of the Wireless Accelerated Responder Network (WARN), a District of Columbia broadband pilot network operating at 700 MHz. WARN allows local, state and federal government to exchange data at broadband speeds and supports demanding streaming media applications. The process consisted of spectrum and technology evaluation, acquisition of products and services, negotiation with existing broadcasters and FCC filings, and network implementation.
Deputy CTO for the District of Columbia Robert LeGrande gives most of the credit to Televate for providing the technical expertise and professional leadership needed to successfully launch the system. Televate's Managing Partner Rick Burke said, "These achievements and the lessons learned from the pilot have positioned the National Capital Region to build the nation's fi rst dedicated public safety regional broadband network.
