Accelerated Media Technologies (AMT) of Auburn, Mass., manufacturers of mission-specific, custom-built tactical communication vehicles, is featuring a multi-platform video downlink/mobile command center truck at its Heli-Expo booth. Designed to be deployed quickly and efficiently, the AMT platform, integrated in a Chevrolet Tahoe, is a mobile central receive site for helicopter video downlinks that the company says “offers ease of use, cutting-edge video technology, microwave interoperability and extended air-to-ground receiverange.”
“Equipped with the latest microwave technology, this vehicle is interoperable with all DVB-T microwave transmitters,” according to AMT co-founder and vice president of business development Dudley Freeman. “The platform features a high gain 5x1 diversity receiver system mounted on an extendable 30-foot pneumatic mast to provide up to 30 miles of coverage” within an emergency situation, police activity, media event, rapidly unfolding conditions or for assessing manmade or natural fire and disaster damage. “Full video/audio encryption ensures security of all received signals,” Freeman said. Air-to-ground radios can be tailored to an emergency department’s individual requirements. On-site event monitoring capability includes a 42-inch SunBrite HD monitor, as well as eight other videomonitors.
