Homeland Security

Key: Port security Virtual Control Panel

Coast Guard – Coast Guard Command Channel Tower – Control Tower

Radio 1 – Radio Channel 1 Radio 2 – Radio Channel 2

North Watch – North Watch Tower South Watch – South Watch Tower

Command – Port Security Command Weather – Weather Service

Fire – Local Fire Department Liaison Police – Local Police Liaison

Radar – Radar Operator Port Ops – Port Operations Group

A port is being monitored by security officials and there are several people constantly watching port activity and ship movements at sea. Instant communications is necessary between central control room personnel and others located at key vantage points and in mobile vehicles. In addition, interface to Coast Guard, local police, local fire department, and weather service liaison officials are provided. Instant and reliable communications ability is critical to insure homeland security and public safety. No time can be wasted while operators hunt for telephone numbers and try to handle multiple communications devices typically used for individual tasks.

Testing and Simulation

Key: Aircraft Testing Virtual Control Panel

Test Director – Test Director Tower – Control Tower

VHF Radio – Very High Frequency Radio Channel UHF Radio – Ultra High Frequency Radio

Pilot – Aircraft Pilot Radio Channel Safety – Range Safety Officer And Team

Flight Data – Flight Data Group Avionics – Avionics Team

Eng. Team – Engineering Team Telemetry – Telemetry Team

Emergency –Test Base Emergency Channel Paging – Hanger and Shop Area Paging

A test aircraft is being flown in the area of a test base and all the systems on the aircraft are undergoing tests. The test team is located in a ground station and is interconnected to the base wide communications and support infrastructure. Constant and critical communications must be maintained among individual groups in their respective disciplines as well as with an overall test director, control tower, range safety officer/team, and emergency personnel such as fire and medical services. In addition the test could span an area that includes additional ground stations at distant locations. The test success and the safety of ground personal and the public require highly dynamic, fast, and complex communications.

Energy Distribution

Key: Power Generation Virtual Control Panel

Plant 1 – Generator Plant 1 Control Room – Control Room

Plant 2 – Generator Plant 2 Field Crew – Field Crew (radios)

Plant 3 – Generator Plant 3 Security – Security Department (radios)

Plant 4 – Generator Plant 4 Maintenance – Maintenance Dept.

Gen. Room – Local Generator Room Eng. Office – Engineering Office

Plant Mgr. – Plant Manager Paging – Outside Area Page

A regional electrical power distribution grid is operated and monitored from a control room located within a power plant. This plant is connected with other plants in a regional power sharing grid. The combined operation as well as each individual plant must be constantly monitored to insure reliable and consistent operation. The plants must be able to communicate at several levels in a seamless manner. Each plant has several operators who must be in constant touch with local personnel as well as with each other. Security, interoperability with other communications systems, and system flexibility are critical.

Special Events

Key: Pre Production Team Members

Executive Producer – Beijing Translator – Beijing

Creative Producer – United States Creative Producer - France

Creative Producer – Italy / Australia Production Designer - England

Musical Director – anywhere in the world Choreographer - anywhere in the world

Technical Director – anywhere in the world Associate Producer – anywhere in the world

Mechanical Engineering – multiple locations Graphic Arts - anywhere in the world

World Class Events such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics Summer Games are years in the making requiring hundreds of creative and planning meetings leading up to rehearsals a few weeks prior. Assembling all team members at the venue prior to the Games is not practical, especially as many involved work multiple shows. Over a traditional telephone conference, VCOM would afford team leaders instantaneous access to team members with no dialing or number searching and the power to manage simultaneous communications with multiple separate work groups while maintaining privacy between individual groups. In addition, individual groups may be joined together further enhancing flexibility
