Northrop showcases public safety capabilities at APCO 2013 event

Northrop Grumman will display its public safety solutions for first responders at the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) 2013 Annual Conference and Exposition, which is being held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, US.

The company will conduct FirstNet Nationwide Network: Ensuring Network Integrity presentation, which includes proposed network architecture for the FirstNet Nationwide Network (FNN) for public safety.

Northrop Grumman Information Systems Civil Solutions vice president Ed Sturms said, "From developing computer-aided dispatch systems, to designing and deploying a broad range of wireless networks, to integrating advanced technologies, Northrop Grumman is leading the way in public safety solutions."

FNN will connect emergency responders and services from local, state and federal agencies in real-time.

The company-invested and highly qualified network model provides the three most critical elements of the nationwide network core including protected technologies with functionality in identity management, cybersecurity and applications services.

Additionally, the company will demonstrate its Law Enforcement Information Exchange (LInX) solution, designed to provide comprehensive, proven and certified US Department of Defense-level security capabilities.

The solution can break down jurisdictional and technical barriers to improve data sharing across municipal, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

The LInX can address sensitive and mission-critical homeland security and law enforcement intelligence needs across jurisdictions in addition to helping find hidden associations and connections within existing law enforcement records sources.
