Excelerating Into Rover Rapid Response


Excelerate Land Rover vehicle Excelerate Technology, a U.K.’s supplier of satellite and wireless-based data, voice and video solutions to the emergency services, has unveiled the first of a new generation of Rapid Response vehicles.  The Company has integrated a wide range of technologies into the Land Rover Discovery, including a transportable satellite, private GSM, VoIP, wireless network, CCTV and video streaming.  The vehicle has also been fitted with four drop-down touch screens, COFDM body worn camera kits and a mobile BGAN solution that delivers high speed broadband access on the move. 

Satellite communications enable this rapid response vehicle to receive and transmit data from all responders and emergency teams and achieve a Common Operating Picture.  With a mobile BGAN as well as a roof-mounted transportable satellite, operators can maintain access to high-speed broadband whether the vehicle is on the move or stationary. Excelerate Technology operates and manages its own satellite and private GSM network and delivers high quality bandwidth, which can be tailored in real time to suit specific client needs, budgets and service level requirements. The company also holds all relevant VSAT Network Licenses and ensures that every customer is equipped with the appropriate equipment operating over approved frequencies.  This allows users to simply turn up, switch on and get down to business without the intervention of Ofcom.
