HOUSTON — Firetide Inc. and Safety Vision LP have partnered to provide wireless surveillance and security applications for the mass transit, law enforcement and student transportation sectors.
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) will be among the first to implement the new integrated wireless surveillance system.
The $1.4 million project, partially funded by a Department of Homeland Security grant, calls for installation of onboard surveillance systems on 155 new MBTA buses. The system will enable transmission of live video feeds to laptops in MBTA police officers' networked vehicles, allowing first responders to view an onboard incident in real time.
Firetide provides the wireless video network portion of the project, operating in the 4.9 GHz spectrum, which is designated by the FCC for public safety and provides interference-free, secure connectivity for first responders.
In addition to supplying onboard, mobile-rated cameras and video recorders, Safety Vision provides a video management application that delivers high-resolution live video and works with the Firetide mesh network.
Prosper ISD hosted the third annual training for transportation professionals across 67 districts to learn how to respond to emergencies, such as rollovers and evacuations, and proper use of safety equipment.
