Handheld portable real-time tracking and communications device
| DWPI Title: Portable handheld real-time tracking and communications device of system of real-time tracking and communications, has two or more portions of resistant enclosure are fastened together by tamper-resistant fasteners, and incorporate gasket |
| Abstract: Portable handheld real-time tracking and communications devices include; a controller module, communications module including global positioning and mesh network radio module, data transfer and storage module, and a user interface module enclosed in a water-resistant enclosure. Real-time tracking and communications devices can be used by protective force, security and first responder personnel to provide situational awareness allowing for enhance coordination and effectiveness in rapid response situations. Such devices communicate to other authorized devices via mobile ad-hoc wireless networks, and do not require fixed infrastructure for their operation. |
| Use: Portable handheld real-time tracking and communications device of system for real-time tracking and communications. |
| Advantage: The real-time tracking and communications devices can be used by the protective force, security and responder personnel to provide situational awareness and to allow enhancing coordination and effectiveness in rapid response situations, communicates to other authorized devices through the mobile ad-hoc wireless networks, and does not require fixed infrastructure for the operation. |
| Novelty: The device has a user interface module (140) that is operatively connected to a control module (110). A keypad module (142) is operatively arranged for operator input. Multiple statuses indicating LEDs operatively arranged indicate an operating status of one or more modules, and a composite video output. A water resistant enclosure comprising two or more portions is operatively arranged and provides containment for the modules comprising the device. The two or more portions are fastened together by tamper-resistant fasteners, and incorporate a gasket. |
