Video Teleconferencing: VTC | Incident Communication Solutions (ICS)

Video Teleconferencing (VTC) and Video Telepresence provides agencies with face-to-face communication capability and real time collaboration. ICS is certified with Cisco & TANDBERG to implement Telepresence and VTC solutions providing public safety agencies a comprehensive video communications solution. Video applications are growing in the public safety world, transforming the way agencies communicate internally and with one another. VTC brings groups together without taking individuals away from important tasks as emergency management, disaster response, and special events support while providing real-time information and situational awareness.

ICS Implementation

Understanding the distinct challenges facing public safety agencies, ICS provides a unique VTC system implementation. After developing a concept of operations, ICS will work with your agency to find the best solution for your video communications needs from inter-office networks to municipality collaboration to remote field deployments. Our approach is not just a technology-centric approach - it begins with understanding how the agency operates and communicates. With that information, our team puts together a solution that meets the technical and operations approaches.

Below are two resources that demonstrate the approach we take to implementing VTC solutions in a large agency.

Case study outlining the deployment of VTC in the Charlotte UASI. This document describes the challenges, approach and solution.
