Narrowband and the Future of Homeland Security
The underutilized 220-222 MHz frequency has excellent potential for properly targeted use by the Department of Homeland Security as part of a national emergency response plan.

CX2 data radios combine the company’s efficient, proprietary over-the-air protocol with the untapped potential of this narrowband spectrum. CX2’s spectrum-efficient use of 5 kHz narrowband channels represents the future of real-time data communication for public safety and emergency response organizations.

Not only are the 220-222 MHz bands free of the interference typically experienced on high frequency spectrum, targeted use of narrowband channels relieves broadband network congestion. CX2’s data-only protocol uses small message sizes that do not compete with the two-way voice, paging, and cellular networks used by law enforcement, fire-rescue, EMS, and other emergency responders.

GEOCommand, CX2, and Homeland Security
CX2 partners with GEOCommand, Inc. to offer a comprehensive emergency response solution for homeland security and public safety.
Since the advent of the Department of Homeland Security, there have been numerous incentives and a comprehensive effort to overcome the deficiencies of the nation’s current emergency response systems.

GEOCommand’s state-of-the-art software provides critical information when and where it is most needed. GEOCommand is capable of displaying almost any form of information as it becomes available, including documents, streamed video, weather updates, and sensor data. This real-time information can be referenced with interactive map layers and embedded emergency response handbooks – all available within an intuitive interface that can be easily learned and operated.

One of GEOCommand’s most powerful features is its ability to incorporate data from fixed, mobile, and remote GPS-equipped sensors. CX2’s DATALynx radios are engineered to seamlessly relay data from weather stations as well as biological, chemical, and radiation sensors to the GEOCommand Dynamic Server and in-vehicle units.
