Mobile Digital Computing for Law and Fire Agencies extends system capability to where the officers are.  EIS/MDC is a packaged wireless digital communications software application that supports mobile computing in law enforcement and fire communities.  It consists of a number of specially designed client-server and web-based software modules that effectively integrate standard hardware into a highly efficient wireless digital communications system tailored to the requirements of the public safety environment.  These modules include an executive control program that runs on a standard laptop computer in the field and converts it into a highly efficient mobile workstation.  It also includes a base controller module that provides the communications interface and integration with other EIS applications. The operator interface on the mobile workstations has been highly optimized for the field officer.  Large displays, single keystroke commands, and other techniques have been used to make the system easy to use for the field officer. When fully integrated with the extended Public Safety Suite, the mobile digital communications system provides the field officer with an extended set of inquiry and communication capabilities.

​

Dispatchers have immediate access to mission-critical information including real-time call updates, unit location, call status, special instructions, premises history, and information, as well as automatic alerts on wanted or missing persons, integrated State and NCIC queries,  duplicate call notifications, and operational recommendations are all a base part of the system. The system can function with separate or integrated call-taking operations. EIS/CAD integrates with E911 systems and includes E911 Phase II capabilities; including reverse geocoding and mapping. The CAD system integrates with other EIS products, including police and fire records management systems. It fully supports mobile digital communications, E911, and external state and national switching systems.
