The charter of OSI includes to foster and support the development of low cost interoperability solutions for First Responders and Public Safety agencies. RSM recently supported OSI in the planning and execution of a Homeland Security exercise in rural Oregon with the participation of many Local, State and Federal Agencies.

The founder of OSI, Ann Steeves, was born, raised and worked for many years inside the DC "beltway" holding TS clearances and serving in different capacities at several levels of government and with private organizations. She is now established i n a remote, rural area of Oregon and is building an organization to provide small Local and State agencies with the same level of technology and preparedness that can be found at the most affluent Counties and Cities in the US. OSI is facilitating the means for rural agencies to tap into Federal resources, develop knowledge and deploy solutions that will be second to none.

COCO Communications is developing one of the most advanced and cost effective interoperability solutions using advanced networking technology and tools to link existing legacy and modern radio Public Safety systems.

This organization is vigorously pursuing the development and implementation of valuable, cost effective solutions to provide interoperability using most of the existing mobile communications systems in place, augmenting their capabilities and extending that connectivity to several open public networks. From technical discussions, their engineering team is keenly aware of the issues and has the requisite knowledge to develop and deploy leading edge technology over legacy and new systems used by First Responders and Public Safety agencies at all levels. Their approach can scale very well from Local to Regional to National levels

C-AT is a leader in the field of portable interoperable gateways for First Responders and Public Safety personnel. Their systems can be deployed in the field and become operational within minutes

Seth Leyman runs the company and sets the example of how to provide excellent technical value and customer service. We had many technical and commercial discussions, maintained discussions while we both worked during Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year Eve and New Year Day, and over many nights and weekends. Seth is there for C-AT customers and often returns calls from his office during major holidays and after hours. His customers are Public Safety Officers who are also working when most of us are taking time off.

JPS is an established player in the interoperable radio gateway market, they were pioneers in this field and have been providing interoperable equipment for several years.

JPS is better known for its ACU-1000 switch, we choose that product for the first unit we designed and built of a mobile command/control/communications van for a major defense contractor. Lee Martin provided invaluable help and support during that phase of design and initial construction. JPS also has other excellent technologies including their own implementation of Voice Over IP for interoperability, very innovative applications for Wireless LANs inside large buildings and voter equipment for simulcast radio systems.

Globalstar provides several voice and data satellite phones, modems and car kits that can be used anywhere with no need to erect and point antennas. Globalstar solutions are very cost effective to purchase and operate, they require very moderate installation effort.

The Globalstar team is offering aggressively priced "always-on" voice and data communications. They also provide exceptional support and technical advice to anyone who has to meet the multiple challenges of designing and deploying fault tolerant, mission critical links for mobile communications systems in the field.

Globalstar provides higher data rates than any other similar systems in narrow band, they offer 9.6 Kb/s nominal with a real throughput of approximately 7.3 Kb/s. This is better than most CDPD implementations that RSM had an opportunity to test and evaluate.

A new product now in beta testing allows to multiplex together up to eight data channels to achieve rates between 50 and 60 Kb/s from moving vehicles using omnidirectional antennas

Beatriz Sanchez provides excellent, above average customer service. Her organization offers a field proven line of portable satellite terminals operating with Inmarsat to transmit data, voice and compressed video and images. These terminals were very extensively used by the media during the recent events in Iraq

We were impressed with the pricing provided on several items by SatCom Miami, but even more impressed with their support and superb customer service. When RSM experienced problems with an expensive satellite terminal caused during a demonstration, Beatriz Sanchez approached the Director of Service at the factory overseas and secured a return authorization and free repair of the unit. Furthermore, she arranged for technical support specialists from the factory to contact RSM to provide additional support and all the latest software and firmware patches for the portable satellite unit. Neither SatCom Miami or Beatriz Sanchez had ever sold anything to RSM, they acted in good faith as it is their policy to support anyone who needs help. We would recommend SatCom Miami to anyone requiring cost effective satcom technology at reasonable cost and backed up by one of the friendliest customer service organizations we encountered.

Telenor USA provides a comprehensive range of satellite communications services for voice, data, video, images and telemetry.

Their Inmarsat M-4 service is a bi-directional 64 Kb/s link that works almost anywhere on earth. The small antenna can easily be aimed by unskilled personnel and be operational in less than five minutes from arrival at an incident site. The M-4 provides single channel ISDN service, day in and day out, it has the requisite reliability to support any mission critical, fault tolerant system or application. Unlike some derivatives from Satellite Internet communications, M-4 is totally deterministic and it always provides the full 64 Kb/s bandwidth both ways. Using Voice Over IP it can support triple AES secure Voice, Data and Compressed Video simultaneously. Telenor's Dieudonne Kamara has supported multiple d emonstrations and system tests and verifications carried out by RSM, they can provide a tailored solution for voice, data, images and telemetry.
