Gwent Police Selects APD’s CORTEXremote to Manage Police Force at The Ryder Cup
Mobile control room system used for the first time at a global sporting event
APD Communications, a global leader in mobile information, resource location/tracking and control room solutions today announced that Gwent Police deployed its new CORTEXremote Software Integrated Communications Control System (SICCS) to effectively manage the policing of the Ryder Cup.
While the European team were busy regaining the Ryder Cup from the American team, over 150 officers and 300 support staff were patrolling the 1,400-acre event. The product also offered vital support to assist in co-ordinating officers in the surrounding area, who were responsible for traffic control and ensuring the safety of 135,000 attending fans.
The Ryder Cup is the 3rd largest sporting event in the world - a fitting test for the launch of the new CORTEXremote mobile workstation - and the first time a portable mobile Communications Control System has been used to co-ordinate officers at such an event.
CORTEXremote provides operators with the same functionality found in a fully equipped emergency control room, but with the flexibility to connect the ultra slim, highly portable touch screen all-in-one PC from anywhere with a broadband internet connection (satellite and microwave links are also supported).
