Mutualink

May 19, 2015 9

What is Mutualink?

• The Mutualink solution integrates radio, video, telephone, chat and file sharing

in an easy to use interface.

• Mutualink is a series of hardware/software products which provide

interoperability/information sharing using a graphical user interface.

• Individual events/incidents are created and users are invited in. You control

what you share and who is invited into the event.

• Users can be on mobile devices (tablets, smartphones) to participate in an

incident from the field – and share video.

Where can Mutualink be used?

• Mutualink can be used by public safety, education, private companies, etc. Each

user controls their own resources.

• Mutualink products are widely used among institutional, public works,

healthcare organizations and the military; as well as a growing number of public safety/emergency management users in the US.

• All users, even if purchased separately/on their own, are still members of the

network.

• Mutualink is used around the northeast, including a large deployment in New

Jersey – these users are available to be invited in as well.

New York Deployment

• Three separate, but related, projects:
• Deployment of Mutualink to all counties (PSAPs, EOCs)
• Five session licenses and two radio interfaces per county
• Also providing a trial number of licenses to State dispatch centers.
• Deployment of Mutualink to DHSES (e.g. State OEM, State Fire) field staff
• Allow field staff to participate in incidents and share video
• In-process. Many State OEM users already have this installed
• Pilot project to test Mutualink K-12 in two counties

May 19, 2015 14

County Deployment

• Each county who elects to participate will receive 5 software licenses

(Mutualink Edge) and two radio interfaces (RNICs)

• Video and telephone interfaces are available
• Each county in the State received a letter and MOA to review and return
• 21 signed MOAs returned to date
• Once returned, it goes to the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of

the State Comptroller for approval

• After approval, Mutualink contacts the county to begin installation planning

K-12

• Mutualink has a solution specifically for educational facilities – Mutualink K12
• Share school security cameras and radio system (if present) to local emergency

responders – but only when the school chooses to share (planned/panic).

• Similar to a standard public safety installation but a few added features:
• The ability to tie in to a public address system
• A panic button feature that automatically creates an incident and invites

the local public safety entity

• Two pilot counties in New York, Rockland and Oneida, each with 10 schools

participating.
