Zetron’s new Remote Command-and-Control Suite has been named one of the Hot Products of 2013 by Public Safety Communications (PSC) magazine, the official publication of the Association of Public Safety Officials (APCO) International.

The award recognizes the most innovative public-safety communications products released this year.

The selection was based on recommendations provided by PSC’s team of experts at the APCO International Conference in Anaheim, Calif., in August. Reviewers called Zetron’s Remote Command-and-Control Suite “a great option for tactical dispatchers (and) emergency evacuation situations.” Reviewers also noted that the system is “very easy and intuitive for the end user.”

Zetron’s Remote Command-and-Control Suite brings flexibility to public safety communications. Its utilization of Wi-Fi and LTE technologies allows agencies to run Zetron’s Advanced Communications (Acom) System, MAX Dispatch, MAX Call-Taking and Mobile CAD on tablet PCs at remote locations. This gives customers the flexibility to deploy remote, temporary, backup and mobile operations quickly and securely. And this is done without sacrificing any of the features, functionality or interoperability that are available in the control room.

“We’re very pleased that the Remote Command-and-Control Suite has won Public Safety Communications’ Hot Product Award,” said Zetron Vice President of Product Management Kathy Broadwell. “Not only is the award an honor, but it highlights the unprecedented flexibility the Remote Command-and-Control Suite provides. It gives agencies the freedom to move their operations from the control room to wherever they’re needed. This can include setting up dispatch onsite at major incidents or events, conducting remote call-taking during a natural disaster, or setting up a backup site if the main communication center must be evacuated. Zetron’s Command-and-Control Suite brings increased flexibility and mobility of operation to our customers at an affordable price.”
