Boston Police Emergency Dispatch Selects Wright Line for Command and Control Update

  • Sep 20, 2010
Wright Line, leading global outfitter for technology-driven environments, announced that it has installed its Profile® Advanced Console System in the Boston Police Department's 911 Command and Control Center.
 
Wright Line's customized console system for the BPD 911 Center includes a flexible design that can be configured for either single or double-sided workstations and stacked for large numbers of flat panel displays. The design, with hundreds of modular components available, also enables a variety of configurations, such as cockpit viewing of monitoring equipment.  It also offers manual and electronic height-adjustable work surfaces.
 
"After seeing the great look and configuration Wright Line created for the Boston Fire Department's command and control center, we knew we wanted to talk with the company," said Deputy Superintendent John Daley, Boston Police Department.  "Given the 24/7 schedule of our 911 center and all our individualized needs, we decided that Wright Line was the right partner for us."
 
The Wright Line command/control console system is built for the rigors of a 24/7 multi-shift environment and enables both the user and IT staff to work simultaneously without disruption to operations. Installation is also faster and maintenance downtime is minimized as operators continue to work while technical staff easily access technology and cables.
 
Wright Line's Profile Console system is GREENGUARD Certified and in compliance with the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) standards for products from the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI).  This means that Wright Line's Profile Console components have undergone rigorous testing to prove that individual elements contained in the final product consist of low-emitting materials. 
 
The GREENGUARD designation gives Wright Line's customers the ability to create healthier indoor business environments with improved indoor air quality.  This designation enables companies to gain Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) points, the nationally recognized standard for the design, construction and operation of green buildings.

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
