Siemens provides public safety organizations its Command and Control Open Communications solution with features including radio caller ID and emergency alerts, as well as better control of vital information and improved situational awareness. All information is channeled to a single, central point, where it can be recorded, evaluated, and processed with increased speed and efficiency -- all in real time. It also leverages the power of fixed mobile convergence -- bringing IT, wired and wireless voice and data together over an IP network -- facilitating enhanced continuity of operations, improved information gathering and processing, and optimized real-time decision-making.

Serving some of the largest, most complex agencies in the world, Tiburon is one of the country's leading providers of integrated public safety solutions. Tiburon's suite of products includes computer aided dispatch and records management systems for law enforcement, fire and rescue, and corrections agencies. With a unique distributed, workstation-based peer-to-peer architecture, Tiburon CommandCAD provides the optimum in availability, disaster tolerance, scalability, and deployment options. Tiburon CommandCAD operates as a fully distributed system on standard PCs using Microsoft(R) Windows(R). This server-independent architecture places a completely functional and self-sufficient CAD system in front of every user, resulting in 99.999% uptime for all critical functions.

By combining Siemens' Command and Control Communications solution with Tiburon's CommandCAD system, customers are better able to get the right information to the right people, and the right people to the incident -- wherever they are -- more quickly and reliably for more effective incident management.

"With Siemens' focus on emergency communications and Tiburon's focus on rapid dispatch of relevant resources, combining efforts gives public safety and first response organizations the best of both worlds," said Dana Rasmussen, President of Siemens Enterprise Communications in North America.
