State-of-the-art CAD Backup and CAD Transfer System for PSAP’s and their CAD Systems.
Now, EDC has taken its CAD2CAD exchange to a whole new level with the introduction of its NG‑CAD‑X/4, CAD4CAD Backup and Disaster systems. Now, agencies can back up each other!
Two Levels of Service
1 - NG-CAD-X / 4 Backup
For PSAP’s that are still operational, but must be left unmanned, NG-CAD-X/4 Backup maintains operational continuity.
2 - NG-CAD-X / 4 Disaster
When a PSAP is operationally compromised, or defunct, NG-CAD-X/4 Disaster provides the pathways to keep units dispatched and incidents managed, even when the jurisdiction’s CAD system is out of commission.
Feature Levels
NG-CAD-X / 4 Backup
CAD4CAD system backup can be implemented when a PSAP must be evacuated, but the infrastructure remains operational. An example of this might involve a bomb or pathogen threat, or possible damage to the structure in the event of an earthquake, (pending structural review) where personnel are required to (temporarily) leave immediately.
NG-CAD-X / 4 Backup benefits:
-
Stations responding to incidents operate in their typical manner.
-
Station alerting remains the same (using the Alarm MCU’s), and unit MCT’s (mobile computer terminal) work the same way as they would under normal operations.
-
All incidents continue to be recorded in the CAD’s RMS system.
NG-CAD-X / 4 Backup – Ideal for smaller agencies dispatch sharing:
-
Transfer dispatch duties to a neighboring agency – while logging data into their own RMS and seeing unit AVL status.
-
Alternative to dispatch consolidation.
NG-CAD-X / 4 Disaster would be implemented when a PSAP must be evacuated, and its immediate infrastructure is compromised (long-term evacuation)
NG-CAD-X / 4 Disaster shall provide backup services in a more complex manner including:
-
The transferring of 911 calls.
-
Taking over full dispatch duties.
-
Logging of units.
-
Capable of continuing to send dispatch requests and incident updates to both units and stations.
-
Relocate stations to other planning and staging areas such as hospitals and schools.
