[d-star] D-Star ready for Hospital EmComm?

[ewestgard at att.net]

Hi
This is easy

We currently and have operationally tested for two years under real MCI conditions a fully redundant and survivable high speed data radio network in the Twin Cities.  This network cannot be attacked from outside our area.  We have four plus one active repeaters, and can support Internet, and web based emcomm applications such as the Red Cross Safe and Sound and the MDH Workspace.  The State EOC has our gear, and it has been promoted as the standard for all of the larger mobile communications assets.    Ramset County, and Hennepin County have our gear installed and in the hands of their Emcomm Teams.  The 2007 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon (D-Star) handled a similar number of patient transports as the 35W Bridge Collapse.  

John Dooley as the State Comms Officer in DEM is telling his agency we are the planned backup messaging, mail and IP services network backup if the commercial services fail.
