FIRST RESPONDER DISASTER
MANAGEMENT CONCEPT

Disasters know no borders. Differences in goals, technologies used and approaches often complicate communication between the different authorities, organisations, and emergency services. The continued vulnerability of a country effectively managing a large-scale disaster lies primarily with the failure to implement essential lessons learnt from previous large-scale domestic disasters. For the last 30 years our experts have been helping governments and First Responders across the globe to implement effective management in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. TAR offer next generation solutions for communications and mobility providing the First Responders with specialized tools and inter-linked communications of all entities and emergency response services.

TAR ON-SITE EMERGENCY SOLUTION

TAR control system platform

Brings the event from the field to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). Getting real-time information from the field can only be turned into useful intelligence if it is processed efficiently. Our design allows dispatchers to automatically receive the highest quality reports from users during major events, ensuring the best information is being relayed to dispatchers. The Live Map will give call takers a clear overview of reports and their location, assisting in making fast and advanced decisions. With TAR at their fingertips, command and control center managers will be able to control a wide area, while prioritizing and routing calls to the appropriate dispatchers faster and more efficiently.

TAR live platform

Call Takers who have TAR-control calls routed to them have instant access to crucial information that provides them with a clearer picture of events. In addition, to live video at the scene of critical events, the TAR-Control System provides dispatchers with reporter personal details, pinpoint location and reliability ranking. These details are an essential part of prioritizing calls for service and resource allocation. The live feed from events occurring in real-time along with reliable reporter information allows dispatchers to make more effective decisions.

TAR RECORDS

Our TAR- Records system is a key component of the TAR- Live platform, which enables deep diving into the entire status of each event recorded through the systems. By navigating between tickets, viewing past events and examining the profile of each of the records. The c-Records enables decision makers to accurately analyze the past and present behavior of their callers, react accordingly, and in time predict future patterns. This tool is essential in optimizing planning and strategy

TAR MOBILE SOLUTION SYSTEM

INDEPENDENT COMMUNICATIONS

Communication connectivity- the system to support continuous, communication connectivity between users- by voice, data and images. TAR’S concept includes the establishment of a private data-connection channel, a primary wireless network that serves all the event participants (field and sector commanders, sector commanders and HQ location and crises management personals).

The TAR Mobile solution system is a 360-degree micro mobile network solution that enables first-responders to quickly setup voice, data and SMS services in disaster prone areas. The TAR Mobile solution system comes in a ruggedized packaging, can be easily hand-carried and set up quickly in a few minutes. It has an integrated battery for operations up to 8 hours with an option to re-charge from any AC or DC source.
