Brazil: Wireless broadband infrastructure for security

The National Secretariat of Public Security (Senasp), Brazil, selected the consortium which integrated various technologies and leveraged the existing systems and equipment in the city of Río de Janeiro. The communications infrastructure is to be left for city use after the Pan American games are completed.

A consortium provided communication and mission critical solutions -- including voice, data, video and images -- for the Pan American Games, held in Río de Janeiro, Brazil. The consortium, Integração Pan, was led by Motorola and included Rocha Bressan/GE, Dígitro, ISDS, OLM and Sisgraph. Motorola deployed a wireless security system with redundant encryption to ensure the security of information received in more than 60 sites throughout the city.

The consortium installed a control and command system that consolidated images received from numerous cameras across the city of Río. Motorola's solutions also allowed for a computer-aided dispatch of emergency calls. All the calls to police or the fire departments were registered and promptly answered by the nearest officer.

The police also had access to an intelligence system that analysed data coming from the different sites throughout the city designed to detect illegal activity. The police vehicles, already equipped with computers supporting satellite location systems, were able to receive information such as vehicle records and drivers licenses, all while in motion and without the use of voice radios. Additionally, wireless portable ruggedized devices also had real-time access to the same information.
