Going digital

As old analog radio networks are being replaced by digital networks, old police vehicle data terminals need to be updated. In order to provide a better working environment and a platform for future advanced features, Systematic was commissioned to build a new platform from standard components in close cooperation with the Danish National Police.

Advanced platform based on standard components

To keep costs low and the platform open for future expansion, a standard vehicle PC with Windows OS and touchscreen was selected. A unified user interface was developed to integrate Digital TETRA radios, GPS navigation, control of lights/sirens, video recording and dispatch of tasks/messages/waypoints. Continuous deployment and in-vehicle testing was performed in close cooperation with the Danish National Police.
