Kentucky State Police Deploy Critical Communications System

Jul 22, 2008

Federal Signal Corporation's Safety and Security Systems Group announced recently the Kentucky State Police have deployed Federal Signal's SmartMSG critical communications system to enhance first responder interoperability.

The Federal Signal SmartMSG system will help the Kentucky State Police enhance public safety and security in Kentucky by rapidly alerting the Special Response Team, HazMat Team, Canine Units and Hazardous Device Technicians through voice alerts or text messages to cell phones. The robust Federal Signal SmartMSG system offers law enforcement officers simple interoperability that can help save lives.

The Federal Signal SmartMSG critical communications system provides a comprehensive interoperability solution for first responders. Disparate warning systems, including different brands and models and different frequencies, can be bridged by simply docking radios into the mobile command and control unit or stationary unit. With the SmartMSG system, communications equipment is linked to enable first responders to seamlessly collaborate on-scene during mission-critical events. Federal Signal's hosted dialing solution provides the Kentucky State Police with a redundant phone dialing infrastructure.

The Codespear-enabled Federal Signal SmartMSG system is part of the Federal Signal Public Safety Systems industry platform.
