Government agencies throughout Europe are using visual communications to speed decision-making, provide employees with increased access to experts and information and to provide real-time public safety responses.

Public Sector agencies strive to become real-time enterprises by expanding their day-to-day and mission-critical uses of video for effective and remote communications. Some examples of this are:

Secure communications — including "war room" meetings and briefings.

Tactical communications — including on the battlefield.

Security and surveillance — from remote cameras in airports to law enforcement.

Emergency response — from first responders in the field to command centres.

Training and distance learning — including live, on-demand, and interactive.

And more!

This enables users to:

Communicate in real-time with police, fire and medical teams in the field.

Provide more efficient and effective training for personnel, military functions and the public.

Reach more people with fewer medical personnel.
