Partnership Combines Rajant's Cutting Edge BreadCrumb® Portable Wireless Mesh Technology With Sydion's Mobile Crisis Management Suite® During The 2007 Wings Of Freedom Air Show At Pope Air Force Base
Rajant Corporation, a leading provider of portable, reliable, and adaptable wireless networking solutions, partnered with Sydion, LLC to provide a portable real-time wireless electronic patient tracking system for the 60th anniversary ‘Wings of Freedom Air Show’ at Pope Air Force Base. Located in Cumberland County, North Carolina Pope Air Force Base is the home of the United States Air Force Air Mobility Command 43d Airlift Wing and Headquarters, 23rd Fighter Group of Air Combat Command and the 373rd Training Squadron.
"We are excited to partner with Sydion, LLC to assist in mobile patient tracking," said Glenn Booth, Vice President of Marketing for Rajant. "The BreadCrumb® system is designed to include support for RFID-based solutions, particularly in medical and first response applications where quick deployment is required. Rajant's portable wireless systems can be deployed within minutes with a single switch and quickly adapt to mobile client devices or other BreadCrumbs® units on the move. With this partnership, we very much look forward to helping first responders become more efficient, help to reduce response time and potentially save lives."
After the temporary medical tent was erected by the North Carolina State Medical Assistance Team, Sydion provided eight roving Air Force Medic Teams with ruggedized wireless handheld computers (PDAs) connected to the Rajant network. These PDAs ran Sydion’s Mobile Crisis Management Suite® application to capture medical and treatment information. This information gave a snapshot of current overall medical status, additional needed resources and whether further medical assistance was required. All information was transmitted over the Rajant BreadCrumb® network to Medical Command. During the air show, the agencies and medical command were able to view real-time information via Sydion's patient tracking Dashboard. At the close of the event, Medical Command generated final reports summarizing all collected information.
"We are thrilled to be working with Rajant," said Jared Johnson, Managing Director of Sydion, LLC. "We have been researching portable wireless systems that are mobile which can be quickly and easily deployed. We found the Rajant BreadCrumb devices to be a perfect fit for us to deploy our Mobile Crisis Management Suite. The BreadCrumb units are easy to configure, mobile, rugged and can deal with a changing medical response environment in real-time."
