• Successful proof of concept (POC) field trial with police departments in Czech Republic
• Mobilicom’s MCU-30 and MCU-200 units integrated shortly after releasing new MESH solution for underground operations
• Mobilicom is negotiating a planned national deployment

12 June 2018 – Mobilicom is pleased to announce a successful proof of concept (POC) field trial with the Czech police departments.

In the field trial, Mobilicom’s MCU-30 and MCU-200 units were embedded into police vests and ground stations, allowing the system to demonstrate its ability to create a fully synchronised communication system that enables underground operations without the need for a GPS.

The trial used Mobilicom’s recently launched Mobile MESH Network Solution for underground operations, addressing one of the key challenges of the police forces worldwide: operating a fully synchronised system inside buildings and underground without a GPS.

The successful POC field trial in the Czech Republic demonstrated how security and rescue forces can effectively handle emergency events working inside buildings and underground using a light and compact unit in their vest.

This is the second POC field trial Mobilicom has executed in the Czech Republic this year with Mobilicom Communication Units (MCUs).

Mobilicom is now in negotiation with the system integrator for the Czech Republic police with a view to being engaged for a national deployment of MCUs.

Mobilicom’s CEO Oren Elkayam said: “With a successful second POC field trial, Mobilicom is now in a good position to win a national deployment in the Czech Republic and offer the local police a private and secured 4G Mobile MESH Network for all operations and applications”.

“We are proud to meet our customers’ advanced requests and needs, which reinforces Mobilicom’s position as a leading provider of Mobile Mesh communications technology.”

• Successful proof of concept (POC) field trial with local security and rescue teams
• Mobilicom’s MCU-200 integrated into holistic mission management solution
• Activity underway to promote the solution to other potential customers & nations

Mobilicom is pleased to announce it has executed a successful proof of concept (POC) field trial in Sri Lanka with local security and rescue forces.

Mobilicom was chosen by a local system integrator to the nation as the key solution for the field trial, with Mobilicom’s MCU-200 units installed on helicopters and ground stations, creating a Mobile MESH communication network between all forces.

The successful POC field trial also used augmented reality (AR) capabilities, providing the aerial and ground teams with a unified real-time situation awareness. This addresses one of the key challenges of situation awareness, being the communication between HQ, air and ground and the collection & sharing of unified real-time information.

Alongside the system integrator customer, Mobilicom is now able to offer this system solution and target high-volume project wins in numerous jurisdictions. Following this successful POC field trial, Mobilicom has already began promoting the solution in other countries.

The system solution provides an ability for security and rescue forces to handle emergency events and take critical decisions while observing the situation & covering large geographic areas. As such events involve multiple elements such as a situation room, mobile command post(s), helicopters, ground forces and ground or naval vehicles, Mobilicom’s flexible and mobile technology provides an ideal solution.

The solution has potential across first responders and disaster relief, police & firefighters, boarder control & surveillance, critical infrastructure surveillance & security and coast guard search & rescue applications.

“With the successful POC field trial Mobilicom is now able to offer customers and prospects a holistic system solution with its partner,” said Mobilicom’s CEO Oren Elkayam. “This has numerous potential applications and we are looking forward to marketing an offering that we feel meets a significant unmet need.”
