ITU Partnership Will Provide Emergency Communications Software in Haiti (2/16/10)
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and Collabria have signed a cooperation agreement to provide a secure, interoperable software platform for emergency communications management and first responder activities, which will strengthen ongoing emergency telecommunications efforts in Haiti, ITU officials said.
The new ITU-Collabria agreement will provide emergency personnel with a system that allows them to communicate and collaborate quickly across wired, wireless and private networks and the Internet, combining text, voice, video, data and large file transfer capabilities into a single application for desktops, laptops, mobile phones and other IP-based devices.
Collabria software is designed to provide first responders with a secure and reliable means of communicating with other first responders, such as aid agencies and local authorities. Responders from multiple agencies can communicate and collaborate quickly, securely and efficiently over a centralized platform.
Collabria will also be dispatching engineers to support ITU personnel working on the ground to restore the country’s communications links.
