Stevensville, MD (August 18, 2008) – The Anne Arundel County Regional Communication Center (RCC) communication capabilities have been enhanced by the recent addition of Incident Communication Solutions’ (ICS) Tactical Incident Communication System (TICS^TM).  

The TICS system utilizes satellite-based Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity and provides Anne Arundel County first responders with the capability to communicate via broadband VSAT connections under any conditions. The system is a rugged, deployable package capable of being transported to any incident site.  The TICS system includes a Cisco Integrated Services (ISR) IP-Router, five Cisco 7961 IP-Telephone sets, and a 1-meter transportable “fly-away” satellite dish.  The TracStar P1000 transportable antenna deploys from two transit cases and features auto-acquisition of the satellite, offering first responders a fast setup. Once on scene, typical setup of the entire system takes under 30 minutes

The Regional Communications Center is a back-up 9-1-1 Center for the Anne Arundel County Police Department, the Anne Arundel County Fire Department as well as the City of Annapolis Police Department and the Annapolis Fire Department.
